In the video, Shilpa Shinde can be heard admitting that she made false allegations against the producer over a payment dispute. “I filed a sexual harassment case against my producer because I had no other option. Eventually, I got out of that situation because the matter was settled. No producer supported them. I filed the case on that basis because the police directly tell you that if you want an FIR registered, you have to make serious allegations. Since I come from a legal background, I understood the process,” she said.

She further added that even her friend had warned her against filing such a complaint. “Even my friend warned me because the complaint was supposed to be filed in Marathi, and asked if I realised what I was doing.”

Shinde further confessed, “Today, through this platform, I want to say that it was false. I am confessing this for the first time. After that, we reached a settlement and the payments that were due to me at the time, which were usually cleared after three months, were settled.”

The NGO later posted a sarcastic message aimed at the Mumbai Police, writing, “Hey Mumbai Police, you did not respond. Is Wednesday your weekly off, or do we need to pay a fee to get a reply from you?”

Men’s rights activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj also criticised Shinde for filing what she called a false complaint. Sharing the video on X, she wrote, “Shilpa Shinde admits filing a false sexual harassment case against the producer of her show over a payment dispute. Says ‘Wo bilkul jhootha tha. Jo payment teen mahine baad milni thi wo mujhe tabhi mili. Settlement hua.’ Slow claps.”

Hina Khan Is ‘Shocked Beyond Words’

Hina Khan also expressed support for the producer, calling him the “real victim” in the matter. She issued a long statement over the entire incident and said that she is “appalled and shocked beyond words”.

“I usually never talk about anyone, I never comment or react on someone else’s business. I only speak up when it is something sensitive, something that affects all of us as a society, especially as women. As someone in the public eye, I must do my bit.”

She further added, “Yes, using your sex to malign someone’s image in order to win during a conflict is absolutely shameful. Everyone is right to call it out and demand justice. I am shocked beyond words.”

“But I want to talk about the ‘real victim’ here - a respected man with a wife, a daughter, and many women in his family, a hardworking producer behind several iconic shows, who went through such an ordeal.”

She also questioned the situation, saying the producer continued working with Shinde even after the incident, and added, “What if the actor repeats it?”
