There’s no doubt that Shilpa Shinde has a crazy fan following. In yesterday’s episode of Bigg Boss 11, Hina Khan, Vikas Gupta and Akash Dadlani teamed up to allege that Shilpa hardly ever participates in any task as she's always in the kitchen.

Hina feels that Shilpa does not behave like a teammate in the house. “I have an objection on Shilpa because she is always spending time in the kitchen. When we came here, Salman Sir told us that participating in the task is one of the most important things. But she never participates in anything, especially in the team games. If cooking is the only skill one required to win people’s heart, even I could have learnt it before coming to the show,” Hina quipped during a select media interaction at the Bigg Boss house.

Vikas, who's been fighting with Shilpa on and off since the show started last year, said he's surprised that fans can only see Shilpa preparing food and not the other housemates working. "Hina cleans the pot of the bathroom, someone is cleaning the pool, and someone is cleaning the floor. We all are taking part in household work as well as in tasks. But it is funny that in an episode of 45 minutes, audiences only get to see that Shilpa is cooking as if we are not doing anything," he said, as per a leading news agency.

Puneesh, who is a close friend of Shilpa, came out in support of her and said,’’You know what, Shilpa is representing the condition of the housewives in our country. Like the way we always discredit our housewives saying ‘They only stay in the kitchen and cook food, they do nothing otherwise’’. Hearing his argument, all the journalists clapped in favor of Shilpa, who became emotional.

In her defence, Shilpa said she has always participated in all tasks and simultaneously pursues kitchen work. She feels that is why her fans have supported her survival in the show so far. She said, ‘’My fans are supporting me because they can see the hard work. I never take my fans for granted.”

"I have been working in the entertainment industry for the last 15 years. So far, my fans and audience have seen my screen image of the character that I have played in fictional shows. If they loved me on 'Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai!' they loved me for the character. Here in the show, they are getting to know me as my real self Shilpa Shinde. My purpose of coming in the show was that," said Shilpa.

Meanwhile, the Bigg Boss 11 finale is scheduled to take place over the weekend and Shilpa Shinde, Hina Khan, Aakash Dadlani, Vikas Gupta and Puneesh Sharma are currently the top five contestants on the show.
