'Iski Har Chiz Publicity..': Arshi Khan Calls Hina Khan 'Same Black Heart From Bigg Boss,' Backs Shilpa Shinde

The ongoing controversy surrounding Shilpa Shinde's recent confession about filing a false sexual harassment complaint against the producer of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai has snowballed into a fresh war of words within the television industry. After Shilpa admitted that the allegations she levelled against producer Sanjay Kohli during her fallout with the show were false, actress Hina Khan publicly slammed her, calling the revelation shameful and pointing out the damage such actions cause to genuine survivors. The controversy has also reignited memories of the bitter rivalry between Hina and Shilpa that first played out during their stint on Bigg Boss 11.

Now, former Bigg Boss 11 contestant Arshi Khan has come out in support of Shilpa and taken a direct dig at Hina Khan. Sharing a strongly worded note on her Instagram Stories, Arshi wrote, "Is aurat ko to me bhi message ki thi Jab ye bimaar thi bilkul bura lag raha tha jab ye bimaar thi, dua ki iske liye lekin ye fir bhi ek reply nahi di ki me thik hu iski har cheez publicity ke liye hoti hai ye jo big boss me thi black heart aaj bhi wahi hai well done shilpa hum sirf tumhara saath hai.''

Arshi's remarks come amid an escalating social media spat between Hina and Shilpa. After Hina criticised Shilpa's confession and described the matter as serious and harmful, Shilpa appeared to hit back through her own statements, accusing Hina of seeking publicity by dragging her name into the controversy. The exchange quickly drew attention from fans, many of whom recalled the friction between the two actresses during Bigg Boss 11.

Is aurat ko to me bhi message ki thi Jab ve bimaar thi bilkul bura lag raha tha jab ye bimaar thi, dua ki iske liye lekin ye fir bhi ek reply nahi di ki me thik hu iski har cheez e publicity ke liye hoti hai ye jo big boss me thi black heart aaj bhi wahi hai well done shilpa hum sirf tumhara saath hai.

What exactly did Shilpa Shinde say that led to the controversy?

The controversy erupted after Shilpa revealed during a recent podcast appearance that the sexual harassment complaint she had filed against producer Sanjay Kohli amid the Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai dispute was false. According to the actress, she felt cornered during the contractual and professional dispute and believed she had no other option at the time. Shilpa said she carried the burden of the lie for years and eventually decided to come clean.

However, the confession has largely backfired. Several industry figures and social media users have criticised Shilpa for admitting to filing a false complaint, arguing that such actions undermine genuine cases of workplace harassment and can irreparably damage reputations. Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit was among those who condemned the revelation, while Hina Khan also publicly called out the actress over the issue. What began as a confession has now triggered widespread backlash and reopened old industry feuds, with Arshi Khan becoming the latest celebrity to enter the debate.
