07 September,2024 07:25 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamFormer Bigg Boss winner and popular television star Shilpa Shinde has recounted a harrowing experience she had during an audition when she was a newcomer. The actress, who shot to fame with the hit comedy show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai, said that a producer has forced himself on her under the guise of an audition. Without taking names, Shilpa claimed that she was asked to wear certain kinds of clothes and seduce the filmmaker as part of the audition. The actress said that she was too naive to realise what was actually going on at that time. Only when the situation escalated, she realised the producer was crossing boundaries and pushed him away before running out. Shilpa Shinde claims producer tried to force himself on her “It was during my struggling days, around 1998-99. I cannot take names, but they told me, ‘Aap yeh kapde pehno aur yeh scene karo’ (wear these clothes and do this scene). I didn’t wear those clothes. In the scene, he told me he was my boss, and I had to seduce him," she told News18. "I was very innocent then, so I did the scene. That person tried to force himself on me, and I got so scared. I pushed him away and ran out. The security staff realised what had happened and asked me to leave immediately. They thought I would make a scene and call for help,” she added. Although she revealed that the man was from the Hindi film industry, Shilpa chose not to reveal his name. "I agreed to do the scene because he was also an actor. I’m not lying, but I cannot take his name. His children are probably a little younger than me, and if I name him, they will suffer too," she said.
