After winning
Bigg Boss 11 in January, Shilpa Shinde told news agency IANS that she was interested in working on the small screen. She blamed her tryst with the makers of
Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai! for her disillusionment from the TV industry. She told IANS: "After working for so many years, the way few people of the industry treated me, I am disheartened.
I do not wish to work in the TV industry anymore." In 2016, Shilpa left the show due to some issues with the makers and had also reportedly filed a sexual harassment complaint against one of the producers.
Sunil Grover's television journey has been quite turbulent too with his public feud with former co-star Kapil Sharma. Kapil is all set for a
new innings on TV with Family Time With Kapil. Sunil and Kapil re-engaged in a round of Twitter feud over Kapil approaching Sunil Grover for his new show.
