MUMBAI: Shilpa Shinde, who rose to fame with her role of Angoori Bhabhi in &TV's Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai and is also the winner of Bigg Boss 11, says that she is not scared of the online rape threats.  

The actress turned politician got rape threats for supporting Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Navjot Singh Sidhu’s statement after the Pulwama Terror attack, which happened on February 14, did not go down well with people and soon there was a trend to boycott The Kapil Sharma Show on Twitter. Sony TV responded promptly by sacking Sidhu. 

 When Shilpa Shinde showed her support to Sidhu, she received criticism and also rape threats from some nefarious elements on social media.

Talking about the online harassment and how she is not scared, Shilpa said to a leading publication, "I don't care at all. You really think I will be scared and keep myself secured in the four walls of my house, No that's not happening. These people will say anything but I don't care about it. I have been facing such online harassment since ages now for anything that I say or do which is not in their favour, so it doesn't bother me anymore.”

Shilpa further said that the reports about her taking legal action against the miscreants are false.                 

She said, "I heard some reports stating that I will be taking legal action against these threats. But it's false news, I don't pay heed and don't want to take any action. Let them say whatever they want to. We talk about safety and look where is the safety for women in our own country?"
