Later, Shilpa mocked Gulki and said,
Who is Gulki Joshi, what she has done in her career? She has become popular because of me.”

I don’t think so it was a personal attack. It was done so that she can stay in limelight. These comments can’t affect us. Woh kuch bhi bol le, but the amount of love that I have got from this controversy is beyond life. Meri following badha di usne.”
