Television actress Shilpa Shinde has revealed details surrounding a fake MMS video that was circulated under her name during her controversial exit from the hit sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!.

Shilpa Shinde Recalls She Fell Victim to a Fake MMS Video
In a recent interview with Galatta India, Shinde recounted the moment she discovered the altered video clip. The actress stated she was in the middle of a press conference when a media professional called to ask if she had seen a specific video. Upon receiving and downloading the clip, Shinde initially worried it might have been recorded secretly in a dressing room during wardrobe trials.
However, after opening it, she realised it featured an unfamiliar couple on a bed."I looked at it and asked, 'Who are these people?'" Shinde said, adding that she initially commented on the poor condition of the bedsheets before being told that the video was being circulated as hers. According to the actress, individuals attempted to intimidate her with the footage, threatening to release it publicly if she did not comply with certain demands. The video was subsequently leaked across platforms under titles implying it featured the Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! star.
Impact on Family and Cyber Investigation
Shinde expressed that the situation caused severe distress for her family, particularly her mother, who faced public humiliation and questioning regarding the video. To address the leak, Shinde stated she spent seven hours at a cybercrime unit. Investigators later discovered that the footage used the likeness of lookalikes from adult films. Shinde also noted that during her later stint on the reality show Bigg Boss, similar doctored clips were generated targeting her with other contestants.
The actress admitted that the ongoing harassment left her feeling extremely vulnerable at the time, to the point of considering self-harm, with the intent of naming those responsible to hold them accountable.

Shilpa Shinde's Ongoing Backlash
The disclosure follows significant public and industry criticism directed at Shinde earlier this month. In a podcast appearance, the actress confessed that her 2017 sexual harassment complaint against producer Sanjay Kohli was fabricated. Shinde explained that she felt professionally cornered by an exclusivity contract that prevented her from pursuing other work, leaving her with "no other option" but to escalate the legal battle to clear her pending dues and exit the contract.

While Shinde has since defended her actions as a retaliatory measure against industry pressures, her confession drew sharp condemnation from fellow actors, trade bodies, and advocacy groups for undermining genuine legal protections.
