Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has recently become the center of attention after she openly told director and choreographer Farah Khan that she does not allow outsiders in her house, claiming it affects the home’s “positive energy.” Her remarks have triggered a wave of reactions online, with fans criticizing her for being unwelcoming.
What Happened Between Shilpa Shetty and Farah Khan
Farah Khan runs a popular YouTube cooking vlog, where she often visits celebrity friends’ homes to make dishes with the help of her cook, Dilip. During her recent visit to Shilpa Shetty’s home to promote her husband Raj Kundra’s film, Shilpa repeatedly mentioned that she usually does not allow outsiders to shoot in her house.
Shilpa was quoted saying:
“Hamare ghar mein energy aur log bahut positive hai. Mai jada prefer nahi karti bahar ke log aaye, kyunki kya hai vo ghar ki urja mein vo affect karta hai.”
This means Shilpa believes allowing outsiders might disturb the “positive vibe” in her house.
Farah Khan’s Response
Farah Khan explained that her own house has often felt like a studio due to shoots and vlogs. She suggested that being in the public eye and filming content constantly can make home visits feel different. She added that she understood Shilpa’s concerns but clarified that she visited Shilpa’s house for the promotion of Raj Kundra’s movie and not otherwise. Farah even called Shilpa ‘Pati-vrta’ in jest during their conversation.
Netizens React
Fans and social media users were quick to criticize Shilpa for her comments. Some said:
-
“This is straight-up an insult to a guest. Repeatedly saying she doesn’t allow anyone inside is selfish.”
-
“If the house had positive energy, wouldn’t her husband be helping with these activities? Negative urja seems real.”
-
“Farah Khan was invited for the promotion, yet Shilpa tried to make it seem like she didn’t allow anyone. It feels hollow.”
The comments show that fans were not impressed with Shilpa’s repeated remarks and believed it came across as arrogant.
Why Celebrities Set Boundaries
While fans were critical, it’s also important to understand why celebrities set boundaries in their private space. Homes are personal spaces, and some people believe that too many visitors can disrupt their daily routine or personal energy. Shilpa’s point about “ghar ki urja” reflects her personal preference for privacy and calmness.
Conclusion
The incident shows the fine line celebrities have to walk between public image and personal privacy. Shilpa Shetty’s remarks sparked a debate on social media about whether celebrities should always be welcoming to guests or have the right to maintain boundaries in their homes. Farah Khan’s calm response also highlighted how diplomacy and humor can defuse potentially controversial situations.
