Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai actress Shilpa Shinde’s woes have only been growing with every passing day. The actress, who stopped shooting for the hit serial in which she plays the lead role of Angoori Bhabhi, has now been been ordered by CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes Association) to resume shoot immediately. However, the actress continues to defy. Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai actress Shilpa Shinde’s woes have only been growing with every passing day. The actress, who stopped shooting for the hit serial in which she plays the lead role of Angoori Bhabhi, has now been been ordered by CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes Association) to resume shoot immediately. However, the actress continues to defy.
Justifying CINTAA’s decision of asking Shilpa to resume shoot, Amit Behl who is the Joint Secretary of the association and also the Chairman of the dispute committee told IndianExpress.com, “It has reached a point where the artist (Shilpa Shinde) is not able to understand and she has gone and said that CINTAA is a producers’ body and not an actors body. I have received a call from Channel Head also. Now this show is the channel’s driver. Unfortunately, she is breaking the contract. She spoke to me also and instead of speaking logic she started crying over the phone.” (Read: Shilpa Shinde aka Angoori Bhabhi quits Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai, accuses makers of mentally torturing her)

Elaborating on how they tried to settle the issue with Shilpa, Amit said, “We had a joint dispute settlement committee where we tried to explain it to Shilpa. We heard the producer’s point of view, broadcaster’s point of view and Shilpa’s point of view. I find this entirely unfair. She has created such a situation that she wants to leave the show. May be she is joining Kapil’s show and there is some profit sharing which I am not concerned about but the point is that you have signed a show, you are on contract, you have renewed the contract, your fees have been increased as per the contract and the producer is also bearing your idiosyncrasies and tantrums to a certain level because you are that character which is a hit. CINTAA is an actors body and as a member of the fraternity, I heard her out first. And then we heard others and I can only say that the actor is beyond reason in this case. She is not able to understand. Every logic was put forward to her on the table and she continued saying that she is going through physical, mental and financial torture. Finally, when we heard out everything, we realised there was no torture. We tried telling her that but finally you can’t talk to a wall. So we have issued a showcause notice to her but beyond a point we are also powerless. They (producers) can take legal recourse. We as creative people don’t want this to become a mess and have tried reasoning it out. But unfortunately, Shilpa is beyond reason now.”
