Last year in April, Raaj's neighbours reportedly filed a complaint against her and her husband Sunil Hingorani, accusing the couple of hosting a party at their residence in Pali Hill, Mumbai, despite a COVID-19 lockdown. Police were called to their place.

The actor told the media that the police came on a "false complaint" and that since her husband was a doctor, a friend came to their place seeking medical assistance.
