Shilpa Shinde on ‘Gangs of Filmistan’: “We are getting tortured”

Shilpa Shinde is coming back to television screens with ‘Gangs of Filmistan’ but she is unhappy with the working conditions and alleges that they are made to work every day when the schedule was promised to be twice a week. Shinde is considering quitting the comedy show.

Speaking to ETimes TV, Shinde said, “The makers have lied to me a lot from day one about the show. We have been shooting from 7 am in the morning to 11 in the night. I don’t know where these association people are. Why don’t they notice this. How the artists are being exploited. They are always there to sabotage someone’s image, but now when we are working for 12 hours or more sometimes, nobody is raising a question. Artists get tired of shooting non-step as this time we are doing comedy non-stop in a daily soap format for 1 hour. We were told that we will shoot for the show only twice in a week and we are ending up shooting everyday. We are getting tortured.”

‘Gangs of Filmistan’ also stars Sunil Grover.
