Shilpa Shinde Recalls Being Harassed With Fake MMS
Shinde detailed her ordeal during a conversation with co-contestant Varun Yadav, popularly known as Laila, on the Netflix reality show. She described how, in the 2015-2016 period, after being "ousted" from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, a journalist sent her a video clip, claiming it was her. The actress admitted that while the video was downloading, her "blood ran cold" as she feared it might be a private recording.
Upon finally watching the clip, Shinde discovered it was a blurred video of a woman with a man, clearly not her. She famously retorted, "Are you mad? Look at the bedsheet, it's so dirty," denying any involvement. Despite her denial, the journalist allegedly threatened to release the doctored video. Shilpa spent "six to seven hours" at the cybercrime unit to trace the origin of the clip, which was ultimately found to be a manipulated Hindi adult site video, edited and circulated with the caption "Bhabhiji ka MMS out."
The impact of this fake MMS scandal extended beyond her professional life, deeply affecting her and her family. Shilpa recounted that even her mother and the building's watchman questioned her about the alleged video. She also revealed that a criminal case was filed against her before her entry into Bigg Boss 11 in 2017, forcing her to secure bail to participate in the show, which she eventually won.
