Mumbai, February 16 Actress Shilpa Shinde, known for her role as Angoori Bhabhi on television, has taken a nostalgic trip down memory lane by channeling her inner Mumtaz and recreating the timeless charm of the classic song "Kanchi Re Kanchi Re" from the 1972 film "Hare Rama Hare Krishna".
Shilpa shared a video on social media in which she is seen recreating the iconic number, originally picturized on Mumtaz and Dev Anand. The song was composed by R.D. Burman. In the video, the actress is simply performing interpretive dance.
For the caption, she wrote: "Happy belated Valentine's Day!! #TimePass #ShilpaShinde #Funtines #mondaymotivation."
"Hare Rama Hare Krishna" was directed by Dev Anand. It also stars Zeenat Aman and Prem Chopra in the lead roles. The film deals with the decadence of the Hippie culture, and aims to convey an anti-drug message, as well as depicting some problems associated with Westernization.
The idea for "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" actually came to Dev Anand when he visited Kathmandu, Nepal and encountered hippies living there.
Shilpa made her television debut in 2002 with "Amrapali," portraying the titular role.
She gained recognition for her role in the serial "Bhabhi," and later starred in "Sanjeevani." She continued to play another role in the show "Miss India."
In January 2004, the actress played the parallel lead as Meher in DD National's show "Meher – Kahani Haq Aur Haqeeqat Ki."
Her breakthrough role was Koyal Narayan in the sitcom "Chidiya Ghar" opposite Paresh Ganatra. She left the show in 2014 due to personal issues and was replaced by Shubhangi Atre, who played the role for a year.
In 2015, Shilpa played the lead role in "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai" and became a household name with her portrayal of Angoori Bhabhi in "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!", but she left in March 2016 after having several issues with the makers and accusing them of mentally torturing her.
She was again replaced by Shubhangi Atre. In 2017, Shinde participated in the reality show "Bigg Boss 11" and emerged as the winner. Since December 2025, she has been playing the lead role of Angoori Manmohan Tiwari in "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain 2.0."
