Mumbai: Television actor Shilpa Shinde made an emotional revelation on the latest episode of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, opening up about her strained relationship with her family and the circumstances that led her to leave her family home.
Known for her outspoken personality on reality television, Shilpa shared a deeply personal account that shifted attention away from the show’s usual conflicts and resonated with both contestants and viewers.
Emotional Revelation During the Show
Shilpa’s confession came after fellow contestant Shivangi Joshi disclosed her secret during a task, requiring her to reveal a personal truth to remain in the game.
Speaking about her family, Shilpa said that although she has relatives, she often feels emotionally alone.
She explained that she currently stays in a shelter home whenever she is in Mumbai and now spends most of her time at her home in Karjat, which has become her primary residence.
The actor emphasized that she was not sharing her story to seek sympathy but to explain the reality of her personal life.
Says She Left Her Home After Surgery
During the episode, Shilpa recalled an incident that she said occurred around three years ago after she underwent shoulder surgery.
According to the actor, tensions within the family escalated, and she felt compelled to leave her own home just a few days after the operation.
She said the situation developed because of differences within the family and claimed that her mother was influenced by her brother during that period.
Shilpa added that she chose to leave late at night rather than remain in an environment where she no longer felt welcome.
These statements reflect Shilpa Shinde’s personal account, and The Headline Guardian has not independently verified the claims.
‘I Have No Relationship With My Family’
The actor also shared that she no longer considers herself connected to her family.
According to Shilpa, she has formally documented her decision by stating in her will that she has no relationship with her family members.
She revealed that although she occasionally speaks to her mother over the phone, they have not met in a long time.
Shilpa said she still wishes to see her mother but believes circumstances have prevented them from rebuilding their relationship.
Why She Joined Lock Upp
Addressing questions about her participation in the reality show, Shilpa said her goal extends beyond entertainment.
She explained that she hopes to establish a shelter home in the future for people who need support and believes the platform can help her work toward that objective.
According to the actor, this dream has become one of the biggest motivations behind joining the show.
Responds to Public Criticism
Shilpa also acknowledged that some people view her as difficult to work with or describe her as “toxic.”
She said years of personal experiences have made her emotionally guarded and less affected by public opinions.
The actor added that constantly putting others first had often resulted in people taking advantage of her, a lesson she says has changed how she approaches relationships today.
A Career Spanning More Than Two Decades
Shilpa Shinde remains one of Indian television’s most recognizable actors.
She rose to nationwide fame through her portrayal of Angoori Bhabhi in the popular sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, a role that made her a household name.
Over the years, she has also appeared in television serials including:
- Kabhi Aaye Na Judaai
- Sanjivani
- Miss India

In 2017, she won Bigg Boss 11, further strengthening her popularity among television audiences.
