Shilpa Shinde is possibly one of the major reasons why Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai topped TRP charts when it comes to the new shows that &TV brought on the platter. But that's a thing of the past. Now, the celebrated TV show is one member less. Shilpa won't be a part of the show anymore and Angoori Devi will now be essayed by someone else. Buzz is that Rashami Desai will be replacing her on the show. 

News about Shilpa quitting the show started doing the rounds about a few weeks back but it was confirmed only sometime back. Now days after she has already left the show, the TV actress has now given an explosive interview, hitting out at the makers for a slew of reasons. But that's not the end of the story. That's just her version of the story. 

People who have worked with the actress on the sets of Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai have complained about her tantrums and her high-handed behaviour on the sets. After her interview started doing the rounds, the producer Binaifer Kohli from the Edit II team has finally broken her silence. She has sent out a legal notice to Shilpa and has also released a statement. 

Here's what her statement reads:

'Actor Shilpa Shinde had entered into an agreement with us in September 2014 and the Artist Fee has been increased two times till now on her demand. Furthermore, she has also been in breach of the contractual terms by reporting late for shoots, ordering her own costumes while there was a designated leading designer and arm twisting us to pay for the same. We have been giving into all her demands even though such demands are contrary to the terms of the agreement she has entered into with us. However, her demands have not ended here. She now wants to us to allow her to take up projects on competing channels. When it was pointed out that the contract clearly stated an ‘exclusivity clause’ she stated that she never had the intention of adhering to terms of exclusivity. Post this incident, she has been threatening to quit the show if we do not waiver the exclusivity clause. At present she has stopped shooting for the show and has sent us a letter informing us of her migraine issue and asking us to find a replacement soon. This blatant and material breach of the agreement and irresponsible attitude is causing irreparable losses and damage to not just the show but also to the production house. This is not the first time that we have put up with her unprofessional attitude and it has now reached a point where this cannot be tolerated anymore. We are professionals and we respect and encourage a healthy working environment. Shilpa has been making several false, baseless and defamatory statements to media about us and the channel and since we have been silent so far it may have been viewed as our weakness. We have heard from media reports that she is planning to take up another show to be broadcast on a competing channel in blatant breach of her contractual obligations. If she has stopped shooting with us citing health issue like migraine, then it’s surprising that she is medically fit to consider taking up another show. Since she is the one to repeatedly breach the contract, we have sent across a legal notice to her and we will take necessary actions against her as instructed by our team of lawyers.'

Now that we know both sides of the story, it's clear that Shilpa is just trying to create a controversy for nothing. Too much in the name of professionalism?
