But yes, at the same time, I want to say that as responsible citizens, we should respect the law. We should definitely respect the law because I have been working in this industry for the last 20 years.”She also mentioned that celebrities and public figures should act responsibly, “People look up to us. Brands approach us, we endorse products, and we attend events. People listen to what we say. That’s why, whenever awareness campaigns are launched, even the government reaches out to us.”She further explained, “For example, when our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, many of us received letters requesting us to contribute to the campaign. Why? Because people listen to us and look up to us.”Shubhangi added, “We have a responsibility because whatever we say or do carries credibility. So I just want to say that we should respect the law. That’s it. No personal comments, definitely. You can understand that. But as responsible citizens, yes, we should respect the law, and we should not misuse it.”For the unversed, in June 2026, during a podcast with Haarsh Limbachiyaa and Bharti Singh, Shilpa made a shocking revelation. She stated that the allegations she made nine years ago against Bhabi Ji… producer Sanjay Kohli were falseShe said, “At that time, I filed a sexual harassment complaint against my producer because I felt I had no other option left. Looking back, I still feel it was a huge step. All doors were closed on me. I believed there was no other way to get out of the situation. When you go to file an FIR, the police ask you to provide specific details and allegations. Coming from a law background, I was aware of the process. Today, I want to say that the allegations I made were not true. I am admitting this for the first time. The matter was eventually settled, and after the settlement, I received my pending payment a few months later.”
