During one of the initial days of the show, Shilpa Shirodkar shared her emotional journey after losing her parents in 2008, revealing that the devastating loss led her into depression.

Shilpa Shirodkar, "Jab mere mummy papa guzar gaye 2008 mein, main severe depression mein chali gayi thi," Shilpa Shirodkar shared emotionally. "Upresh was doing so well in his career, but he left everything, and we shifted to India. Matlab, aaj agar Upresh kehta ke main nahi karunga, tu hi sacrifice kar le... toh aaj Upresh banking world mein bahut alag jagah hota. ( When my parents passed away in 2008, I went into severe depression. Upresh was doing really well in his career, but he left everything, and we moved to India. I mean, if Upresh had said, 'I won’t give up my career, you make the sacrifices,' then today he would have been in a completely different place in the banking world)." (Photo: Instagram)

In a recent episode, during a chat with fellow contestants Chum Darang and Karanveer Mehra, Shilpa revealed that choreographer Farah Khan had initially approached her for a song but later decided against casting her, labeling her as "too fat" for the role.

However, Shilpa revealed that just 10 days later, Farah decided to drop her from the project. (Photo: Instagram)
