Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s husband, Raj Kundra, was arrested by the Mumbai Police on July 19, 2021, for his alleged involvement in creating pornographic content and publishing them on his app. Along with Raj, 11 other people are in police custody, however, he is said to be the key conspirator. From police raiding their house to the reports of Raj not helping with the case have been hitting the headlines.
After Raj Kundra’s arrest, his wife, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, almost went underground. While some showed sympathy for Shilpa and her family, others started to drag her into the case, accusing her of her role in her husband’s business. However, in a press conference, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), Milind Bharambe, had denied finding any involvement of Shilpa in the case. While some celebs like Poonam Pandey, Sagarika Shona, Sherlyn Chopra have accused Raj Kundra, Gehana Vasisth, and Rakhi Sawant have supported him.Vasisth
