Mumbai, August 7
Actress Shilpa Shinde received a warm welcome upon returning to her shelter home in Karjat, after her successful stint 'Lock Upp Season 2'.
The former Bigg Boss 11 winner said the love and support she received made her feel as though she had won the reality show.
Sharing a video from her homecoming on her social media account, Shilpa was seen being welcomed with an 'aarti' by elderly women and greeted by well-wishers as they celebrated her return.
Expressing her gratitude, the actress wrote, "Back home after Lock Upp.. Itna saara pyaar aur support dekh kar aisa lag raha hai jaise main hi winner ban gayi hoon!! Dil se thank you, everyone!"
The emotional post comes weeks after Shilpa made one of the most personal revelations of Lock Upp Season 2.
During the reality show, the actress had opened up about her disturbed relationship with her family, claiming she was forced to leave her Mumbai home just days after undergoing shoulder surgery.
Shilpa revealed that although she has a family, she often feels like an orphan because of the estrangement.
She alleged that circumstances created by differences with her younger brother and his wife eventually affected her relationship with her mother as well. According to the actress, her self-respect made her leave the house late at night.
Shilpa had further shared that she has almost shifted out of Mumbai, adding that she now considers Karjat her primary home,
The actress also disclosed that she has not met her mother for a long time, and that she has not visited her in Karjat despite her requests.
On another note, Lock Upp host and filmmaker had hosted a lavish success party for the inmates of the reality show post it's finale.
Shilpa Shinde was seen missing from the entire celebration.

The aarti and warm welcome from those women says more than any success party could. She took care of them, and now they're celebrating her — this is the kind of bond money can't buy. Who needs Bollywood parties when you have this love? ❤️
Reading about her family issues really broke my heart. A mother not visiting her daughter despite requests, and a brother who caused such distance — that's painful. The shelter home has become her real support system. Wish her healing and peace.
It's sad she had to leave her own home right after surgery. But Karjat seems to have given her a new purpose. These shelter homes do so much good work, and it's nice to see someone who genuinely cares about the elderly instead of just using them for publicity.
Not taking sides but skipping the success party seems a bit off. Even if she felt disconnected, basic professionalism matters. But honestly, the video of her homecoming is heartwarming — those aunties adore her. 🤷♂️
"Itna saara pyaar aur support dekh kar aisa lag raha hai jaise main hi winner ban gayi hoon" — this is so pure! In an industry full of fake relationships, this homecoming feels real. And let's be honest, the real winner here is humanity. 🌸
