In 2015, Shilpa played the lead role in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai and became a household name with her portrayal of Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!,but she quit in March 2016 after having several issues with the makers and accusing them of mentally torturing her.

She was again replaced by Shubhangi Atre. In 2017, Shinde participated in the reality show Bigg Boss 11 and emerged as the winner. Since December 2025, she is playing the lead role of Angoori Manmohan Tiwari in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain 2.0.

She's a good actress, no doubt. But honestly, no one can match Mumtaz's grace and screen presence from that era. It's like comparing a good home-cooked meal to a five-star feast. Still, nice effort for nostalgia.

So nice to see actors paying homage to classics! My nani used to hum this song. The film had a strong message too about Western influence. Shilpa did well, but the original will always be special. #OldIsGold

She will always be Angoori Bhabhi for me! 😄 Good to see her trying something different. The caption "TimePass" is so relatable. Sometimes we just do things for fun, not for validation. More power to her!

Interesting read! I didn't know the background of the film "Hare Rama Hare Krishna". The hippie culture angle is fascinating. Shilpa's recreation is a fun bridge between classic Bollywood and today's social media trends.

Respectfully, I feel these recreations often lack the soul of the original. The article mentions her issues with show makers – maybe focusing on strong new roles would be better than relying on nostalgia? Just a thought.
