The entertainment and business worlds were stirred when Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, found himself embroiled in a scandal involving the creation and distribution of adult content. Following a period of silence, Kundra has opened up about the ordeal—particularly regarding the reaction of his wife upon learning of the accusations against him.
During an exclusive interview, Raj Kundra recounted the initial moments when Shilpa Shetty discovered the charges laid upon him. According to his account shared with media outlet Hindustan Times, her response was laughter—fueled by disbelief and an intimate understanding of her husband’s character. Kundra narrated, “When she heard about the case she just laughed it off and claimed it wasn’t true. In our home, such activities couldn’t go unnoticed. We built our lives from scratch, so she recognized instantly the claims were baseless.”
Yet, despite Shilpa Shetty’s private confidence in her husband’s innocence, the public scrutiny took its toll. Raj lamented the professional setbacks his wife suffered as a result of his legal troubles, stating they were undeserved. The allegations led to lost contracts and work opportunities for Shetty, who remained silent in the public eye, bearing the repercussions.
The couple’s children were not shielded from the turmoil. Kundra revealed how his incarceration prompted questions from their young son, Viaan. With candid simplicity, Shilpa explained to Viaan that his father had numerous questions to answer before his return. Kundra shared touching details of how Viaan, who was then 10 years old, offered his support by sending drawings and letters to his father in jail, showcasing the boy’s resilience and faith in his father’s innocence.
Kundra also voiced sentiments about his son’s perception of him, emphasizing Viaan’s belief that his father, whose company bears Viaan’s name, could do no wrong and viewed the entire situation as a nightmare.
Amid personal challenges, Shilpa Shetty’s professional sphere continues to thrive. She has been featured in the action-packed series ‘Indian Police Force,’ directed by Rohit Shetty and Sushwanth Prakash. Co-starring actors Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi, the show has won praise from viewers and critics alike, making waves on the streaming service Prime Video.
On the flip side, Raj Kundra, stepping into the world of cinematography, has made his first strides with a film inspired by his personal experiences titled ‘UT69.’ The project marks a new chapter for the business figure as he delves into storytelling through cinema.
The couple’s journey through the controversy has been a public rollercoaster, intertwining their private lives with their professional endeavors. As the story continues to unfold, both Kundra and Shetty face the challenges head-on, with the former speaking out and seeking to clear the air, while the latter continues to bolster her career amidst the turbulence. With new projects and fresh starts on their respective horizons, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra look to move beyond the scandal that once shook their world.
