Shilpa Shinde Reveals, ‘Yeh Kapde Pahno Aur…’
In an interview with News18, Shilpa Shinde addressed the time a producer asked her to wear some type of clothes and seduce him. The actress reveals without naming the filmmaker, ‘It was during my struggling days, in 1998-99. I can’t take names, but they asked me ‘Aap Yeh Kapde Pahno Aur Yeh Scene Karo.’ She said that she didn’t wear those clothes but since she was innocent she tried to do the scene. She said that the filmmaker asked her to seduce him in the scene while thinking he was her boss. She further said, ‘That person tried to force himself on me, and I got scared. I pushed him and ran outside. The security personnel realised and asked me to leave immediately. They thought I would create a scene and call for help.’
Shilpa Shinde also mentioned that she can’t take his name and that his kids are probably a little younger than the actress, this will affect them too. She further added, ‘He was from the Hindi film Industry. I accepted to do the scene because he was also an actor. I am not lying but I can not take his name. His children are probably a little younger than me, and if I name him, they will suffer too.’
Shilpa said that she met him again after years and the producer offered her a movie as well but she rejected it. She said, ‘After a few years, I met him again, and he spoke to me kindly. He didn’t recognize me and even offered me a film role. I refused. He still doesn’t remember me.’
She concluded her interview by saying, “When people talk about sexual harassment, I strongly believe that yes, you may have been approached, but you can also have the choice to say no. You can choose not to be part of it. This happens to everyone.”
