Bigg Boss 11 winner, Shilpa Shinde spoke to Hindustan Times and revealed that Sunil Grover is the face of the show. The actor added that she does not mind that Gangs Of Filmistan is about Sunil Grover, but others do not really get a chance to do much. Shilpa told the portal that the show was supposed to be her comeback, as pitched by the producers of the show, but she hardly has any role in it.

Shilpa went on to say that the producers had told her that her part would be separate from Sunil Grover’s part. However, later she found out that he would be a judge on the show and the other actors will entertain him. The actor further revealed that they have shot Sunil Grover’s gag most of the time. The actor also asked if Sunil Grover is the face of the show, are the other actors “just props”?

Shilpa Shinde also stated that the producers are exploiting actors because many of them did not get any work for the past four months. She added that she had been unwell despite that she had shot for two days for a daily comedy show. She further added that it has been hectic and she cannot work in such an atmosphere.
