Shilpa then went on to make claims about Shivangi's personal life, alleging that the actress had been romantically linked with her co-stars from almost every show she worked on. Shilpa said, "Itne shows kiye ab tak aur jis show mein gayi hai uss show mein uss ladke ke saath affair raha hai. Abhi Kushal Tandon usse bada hai age wise dekho toh, uske saath bhi toh affair tha uska. Uske baad aap yeh acting karte ho. Are we this pathetic?
