Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde is breaking the Internet, but for wrong reasons. The Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai actress shared a link of an adult video on Twitter and said that the actress in the film is her lookalike, whose video was circulated in her name in November last year. She wrote, “Plz see this u will get to know. Jinhe koi kaam dhanda nahi hai woh logo ki zindagi iss tarah se barbaad karne ki koshish karte hai. Yeh hai woh original ladki ka video jo Shilpa Shinde Ka MMS leak hua hai, aisa bola ja raha hai. (sic)”

The post didn’t go well with many people including Bigg Boss 11 runner-up Hina Khan and her boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal. The reason behind this is the fact that Shilpa shared the porn video on her social media platform where she is an influencer and has so many followers and also because she was in a way revealing the identity of another girl in a compromising position. Also, there are many laws in India that prohibit pornography in the country and can even land the actress in jail.
