In an interview with Zoom, she admits she is not guilty of her confessions. She said, "They don't know anything about this. Why they were saying it? I don't know. Defaming him was my only way out. I am not wrong. I am just guilty of lying. It was tit for tat because they had also defamed me."

When asked about not getting support from women in the industry, Shilpa Shinde slammed them and said, "They are nonsense. Those women are nonsense. They don't know what kind of situation women are in. They don't help people who are actually facing the problem. If they had helped then, I would not have been in this situation. They were just behind me. They just accused me of leaving that show. I never compromise with my self-respect."
