Making Whatsapp chats public

In her caption, she also shared that she will even post the script of the part she was given to play and the rest of their chat if they spread lies. She wrote, "THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK" Suits on you Dear Preeti/ Neeti Simoes @preeti_simoes @neeti_simoes. Have some shame Preeti/Neeti Simoes..Screenshot nahi dalne ko bol rahi aur phir khud WhatsApp ki Chat mere replies hide karke media ko de rahi ho. Abhi kya mein bhi poori script post kar du??Maine sirf abhi front page post kiya hai.."Ek bar clearly apni baat batane ke baad ,I am not answerable to u..Mera NO means NO hota Hai" "DOODH KA DOODH PAANI KA PAANI ABHI HO GAYA HAI"..So Plz stop spreading lies...Asliyat Saamne aa gayi toh mirchi lagi kya?? Abhi phone calls bhi hain jaha maine tumko(Preeti Simoes) clearly bola ki "Mujhe Sunil Grover ji ke sath kaam nahi karna"..Woh bhi daal du??? If you dont want to aggravate this..So its better plz just concentrate on your ghatiya script & do your job..All the best."
Sharing email exchange between Preeti and her
Sharing the screenshot of their email, Shilpa wrote in her defence, "Stop telling lies as I had already e-mail you on 29th Aug 2020 regarding my issues & wanted to end this matter on happy note & you have replied too. I’ve also received flowers & a note stating “Get well soon and missing you at the sets”. Hence kindly stop this drama. I’ve been unwell while shooting at your sets and currently have COVID symptoms. No one is paying for this but only I have to face... So atleast what you could do is not to spread that you are trying to contact me and all. It is a male dominated comedy, I suppose everyone would agree. I don’t understand why are you claiming to have called me again and again. After this bitterness, I doubt I would be able to do a comedy show with you. So let’s not aggravate the situation then what it is already or else let’s end this on positive note. P.S. Screenshot of Mail Sent on 29th Aug 2020."
Quitting Gangs of Filmistan
Shilpa Shinde, who was supposed to make a comeback on television with Sunil Grover led 'Gangs of Filmistan' (GOF), quit the show even before it could go on air. The actress levelled some serious charges against the producers of the comedy show which included overstretching work hours, exploiting the artists, not giving her script and flouting the new guidelines.
Refusing to do a show with Sunil Grover
If this was not enough, the actress accused the makers of lying to her about everything including Sunil being a part of the show. She said, "I had mentioned that I will do the show (GOF) on one condition that I don't want to work with Sunil Grover but they lied to me and said he is not there in the show. Later, I learnt from outside that he was a part of the show." She added, "When he is around, you can't do anything. He takes over the entire act. We are never given scripts, our gags get destroyed and we don't get to perform at all. I am not making a comeback to stand behind in the crowd and clap."
Accusing ex-boyfriend Sidharth Shukla of violent behaviour
When Sidharth Shukla was in Bigg Boss 13, Shilpa Shinde accused him of being aggressive and also told an entertainment portal that she was in a relationship with him. Not only this, Shilpa shared that she knows Sidharth well and even claimed that the channel on which the controversial reality show airs favours Sidharth. She had told Etimes TV during the season, "Sidharth is channel's favourite and you can't deny that. They made him win Khatron Ke Khiladi even though he was evicted from the show thrice. They can do anything for the person they like. Everyone knows about Sidharth's bad temper and misbehaviour on the sets of all his shows."
Fighting with the producers of 'Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain! and quitting the show
This might be an old tale now but the fact that Shilpa has quit another show just recently brings us back to it. Shilpa, who rose to popularity with the sitcom as Angoori Bhabhi, left the sitcom in 2016 over a row with her producers, who she accused of mentally torturing her. She did not hesitate to call the producer of her show Benaifer a tyrant and had a long legal battle with them. She even went ahead to charge Benaifer's husband Sanjay Kohli of sexual harassment.
Big fight with Vikas Gupta in Bigg Boss 11

In fact, in one of the episodes, Shilpa apparently alleged that Vikas had made a MMS video with a Hindi porn artist who looked like her without make-up from a certain profile. The two who were always seen lashing out at each other quite often in the first few weeks of the house became cordial later in the game.
Breaking engagement with Romit Raj
