There came a time when his younger brother i.e. Shashikala’s uncle got a very good job. But then they forgot family. Shashikala had said, my father went bankrupt. Those days were very difficult. We didn’t get food for about 8 days. We were waiting for someone to invite us to his house for lunch.

After success in films, Shashikala married actor KL Saigal’s relative Om Prakash Saigal. Some time went well for both of them. During this time Shashikala also gave birth to two daughters. But later on, there were misunderstandings and fights between the two. Tensions between the two increased so much that one day Shashikala left home-family and daughters and went abroad with a man. This was the biggest mistake of his life.

Shortly after returning, Shashikala started working in films again. At the moment she was away from Bollywood for a long time. Here she lived with her younger daughter and son-in-law.
