Shilpa shared, ""Jab mere mummy papa guzar gaye 2008 mein, main severe depression mein chali gayi thi," Shilpa Shirodkar shared emotionally. "Aparesh was doing so well in his career, but he left everything, and we shifted to India. Matlab, aaj agar Aparesh kehta ke main nahi karunga, tu hi sacrifice kar le... toh aaj Aparesh banking world mein bahut alag jagah hota. (When my parents passed away in 2008, I went into severe depression. Aparesh was doing really well in his career, but he left everything, and we moved to India. I mean, if Aparesh 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)."

Gunratna, who was sitting with Shilpa, shared his thoughts on her career. He compared her journey to that of a politician, saying, "A politician takes 35 years to build his career, and similarly, we get one great actor in 50 years. I believe that along with Madhuri Dixit, you were one of the few who could have risen to that same level. But suddenly, you decided to quit the industry."

Shilpa adds, "Par naseeb naseeb ki baat hai and I don't regret anything." Gunratna praises her songs, noting that the audience went wild watching her performances. He mentions, "You may not regret your decision, but the viewers regret not getting to see you more on television. An artist doesn't really have a life of their own; they become a part of the viewers' family."

He expresses his admiration for Madhuri Dixit, Shilpa, and Kangana Ranaut, stating that they are among the few actresses who have truly excelled in their craft. Fans are enjoying the show.
