Often, she would tear up reading the comments. It was not easy playing a baddie for her.

What ban?

Telly actor Shilpa Shinde is rather amused that the Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) banned singer Mika Singh after he performed in Pakistan. She feels the association should concentrate on stopping the exploitation of workers on film sets instead. FWICE is not a court of law, she has said in a viral video.
