in this pandemic, we are shooting for 12-15 hours. I am talking about it now so that people can't say later why I didn't speak up earlier."

Shilpa further added, "The producers should understand and value their actors. Neither is the script ready nor do they have everything planned. The shift starts at morning 7 and we pack up at 11 in the night. You can't exploit actors. We aren't labours."

Here's the trailer of Gangs Of Filmistan:

Talking about her problem with Sunil Grover, who plays Bhindi Bhai on the show, she said, "50 per cent of my problem is with Sunil Grover. For promotions, they used my name but in the show's promo, only Sunil can be seen. Not just this, Sunil will be a part of every act and we are given just one line. We are not there just to give cues to Sunil."

Drawing comparisons to The Kapil Sharma Show, Shilpa Shinde said, "Look at The Kapil Sharma Show. Every actor gets space there and equal opportunity to act. No one has to stand in the background. Every character on that show has its own identity but here it's all about Sunil Grover. Why don't they change the name to Sunil Grover Show?"

Shilpa Shinde said that she is speaking for everyone and not just herself and has made her mind to leave the show. Let's see if the makers are able to address her grievances or not.
