Shilpa Shinde

Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain actress Shilpa Shinde is already making a name for herself in Bigg Boss 11. She got into a fight with fellow housemate Vikas Gupta, who was partially responsible for her much controversial exit from the show.

Not many people are aware that Shilpa was once engaged to TV actor Romit Raj. They met on the sets of their show Maayka, and after dating for a while they decided to get married. The wedding was supposed to take place in Goa, and everything from the wedding cards to jewellery and outfits was ready. Unfortunately, the alliance was called off due to unknown reasons. Shilpa opened up about her broken marriage in 2009 in an interview with TellyChakkar.

Here are a few excerpts:

“I had left everything because of my marriage. As a girl I know what my responsibility towards my husband and his family is and I used to do everything according to his will. I kept all his family members in mind but he still expected more from me. In fact I always used to give my shooting time to them due to which I stopped getting offers because of my terms and conditions.”

“Whatever I was able to do I did and more than him I spent my time with his family. But now when we have split no one from his family has even bothered to call me and speak to me. I find this very strange I was feeling as I had done so much for them.”

“My wedding preparations were done, my wedding outfit was ready, I had even bought my jewellery and the cards were also printed. It is very sad that I had to call off my marriage one month prior to the actual date. But I feel it is a wise decision and I am very happy that at least now I won’t have to make adjustments for each and every single thing. I will now be able to take my own decisions.”

According to reports, Romit later got married to Tina Kakkar in 2010. Past has a way of finding itself back to the present in the Bigg Boss house. We wonder if Shilpa will also come face to face with her past?!
