Reports surfaced in 2016 alleging that CINTAA (Cine and TV Artistes’ Association) had blacklisted Shilpa Shinde because of a disagreement she had with the “Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai!” producers. CINTAA emphasized that there was no ban, but they still wanted Shilpa to give an explanation and pay for any losses she caused to the producer and channel.
After making a brief appearance on “Maddam Sir,” Shilpa and actress Gulki Joshi got into a verbal spat. When Shilpa made disparaging remarks about the cast and crew of the show, Gulki retorted that Shilpa was just trying to get attention. Shilpa Shinde had a falling out with television producer Vikas Gupta while she was on Bigg Boss 11, accusing him of ruining her career.
