Actress Shilpa Shinde has been in the news for quite some time after admitting that she had falsely accused producer Sanjay Kohli of sexual harassment. Recently, Bigg Boss 18 contestant Shehzada Dhami shared a long note alleging non-payment of Rs 30 lakh in dues by producer Rajan Shahi. Responding to the controversy, Shilpa alleged that even artists' associations often fail to stand by actors in such situations. The actress went on to label television producers as "white-collar mafias."
Shilpa Shinde slams artists' associations and producers
The Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain actress shared a video and stated, "Today, I want to say the same thing again. You've seen for yourself that even the artists' association does not stand by the artists. These TV industry producers operate like a mafia. They are white-collar mafias, and I have been saying this for a long time. The people in the artists' association side with the producers because they want work. Who, then, will stand up for the artists?"
