"I will never do it (the show). I will never turn back  and look at things. After  'Bhabi Ji...'  I did not do  anything on television. It is not that I was banned. I have  always fought for my rights. I had two offers but I refused  because I did not want to take them up," Shilpa said in an  interview before entering the 'Bigg Boss' house.
