Shilpa Shinde took the television world by a storm when she quit her hit show, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai on &TV, citing these problems.
The Cine & TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) has asked Shilpa to resume work after the show sent her a legal notice, as she could not quit without serving the notice period.
Meanwhile, the producers have decided to replace Shilpa, and a few actresses like Rashami Desai and Sucheta Khanna have already done look tests.
But who will do justice to Shilpa's Angoori bhabhi, and play her as well as she did?
We pick some actresses who we think can replace Shilpa. Vote for your favourite at the end, or simply send us your own picks in the message board below.
Kavita Kaushik
Kavita Kaushik's hilarious Haryanvi cop Chandramukhi Chautala role in the FIR series has made her a very popular comedian, and earned her a loyal fan following.
She has great screen presence and amazing comic timing.
Purbi Joshi
Purbi Joshi proved her mettle with her stand-up acts on Comedy Circus.
Audiences loved her mimicry of actors like Hema Malini, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rakhi Sawant.
Upasana Singh
Upasana Singh's character in Comedy Nights With Kapil -- Pinky Bua -- has won her a lot of fans, and she's a hit in Comedy Nights Live as well.
Just her presence will make you laugh!
Sucheta Khanna
Television and film actress Sucheta Khanna is best known for her role Indumati, a typical Indian homemaker in the serial Lapataganj. Her mispronunciations and hilarious style in her show can give Angoori bhabhi's character a unique twist.
Kanika Maheshwari
Kanika Maheshwari, who plays the sly Meenakshi in Diya Aur Bati Hum, does comedy brilliantly as well.
She has great comic timing, and can make Angoori bhabhi as big a hit as Meenakshi!
Disha Wakani
Disha Wakani has carved a niche for herself as a comedian on small screen.
She has earned several awards for her hilarious role Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.
Sumona Chakravarti
Sumona Chakravarti's career has seen a great growth curve, especially after she bagged Manju's role in Comedy Nights with Kapil.
Rashami Desai
Rashami Desai is quite good at handling fiction, dance and comedy shows. She has worked in a couple of seasons of Comedy Circus and is currently seen on Comedy Nights Live.
Incidentally, Rashami was the first choice for Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai but she had opted out. Shilpa Shinde stepped into her shoes and made Angoori bhabhi an instant hit.
