Speaking about Mahesh, Shirodkar added, "Mahesh and I, I don't know. I don't want to say no, I don't want to say yes. Because there is nothing at the moment, he is busy with his projects at this point in time. I am busy trying to get work for myself and keep myself busy, and create my own path and do good things."
Apart from Bigg Boss 18, Shilpa Shirodkar has appeared in TV shows such as Ek Mutthi Aasmaan, Silsila Pyaar Ka, and Savitri Devi College & Hospital.
