Will never work with Binaifer Kohli and &TV - Shilpa Shinde, who plans to turn producer


 

Shilpa  Shinde, who was recently in the news for her fall out with Binaifer Kohli, producer of &TV show 'Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai', is toying with the idea of turning producer herself. 
“I am planning to co produce shows. Certain channels have already sent feelers  about working with me on specific projects they want to associate with Brand Shilpa. There are also talks with Doordarshan, it is quite tough to get your show cleared by the pubcaster but once your through you make your money.” 

Here Shilpa makes it clear that she would prefer to handle the creative part and leave the negotiations with the channels to her partners. Shilpa further added that she will never work with & TV and  Binaifer again.

She refused to give out more details saying, “I don’t want to attract unnecessary  attention for already some people like Binaifer are doing their best to scuttle my film projects. They call up people who want to work with me and emotionally black mail them to keep me out. . ”  After her item number in Sanjay Chhel directed Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi, she is also considering another Hindi film.

Talking more about the above song she says, “Certain people have passed snide comments regarding my appearance. Let’s face it, I am not skinny and you appear bigger on screen than what you really are. I also was under  a lot of stress  due to my Bhabhi ji issues . It was during this time that Sanjay ji offered me this song oppositeChinitu ji (Rishi Kapoor) and Vir Das. I did not get time to lose weight. Even other Bollywood leading ladies have faced similar issues in the past.”

She is hopeful that the song will do well when the film  will release later  this year ,“It plays an important role in the film narrative . One of the  main reason for saying yes  was that it has no skin show. The choreographer  had given us steps as per our dancing capabilities. I was taken for my face value."
