Television actress Shilpa Shinde said on Tuesday that she will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha election on Congress ticket in Mumbai. Asked if she will be contesting from Mumbai, she told the media: "Yeah. Right now, I am joining the party. Later, I will get a clear picture from (where) I am going to fight."

She rose to fame after her stint as Angoori Bhabhi in the comedy caper, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Due to differences with the show's producers, Shinde quit the show midway, which broke many hearts. She then participated in the reality show Bigg Boss 11 and emerged the winner. Little did she know that she would have to face one of the producers, Vikas Gupta in the house. Their verbal spat inside the house made way to headlines and the most-talked-about. She worked as Googly Devi in Sunil Grover's cricket-based web series Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan.
