Raj Kundra tweets viral: Businessman Raj Kundra was arrested by the Mumbai Police Crime Branch on Monday night for being an alleged "key conspirator" in a case related to the creation and publishing of pornographic films via mobile applications. The businessman, who is married to actor Shilpa Shetty, was initially summoned for questioning, but subsequently arrested, based on the evidence found by police.
Now, after his arrest made nationwide headlines, Kundra’s old tweets about "porn vs prostitution" from the year 2012 are going viral on social media. In his tweets, the British-Indian businessman had asked "why it was legal to pay someone for sex on camera" further asking how prostitution was different from porn.
Take a look:
Sharing his thoughts on porn, he had written in a tweet (dated March 29, 2012), “Ok so here go's Porn Vs Prostitution. Why is it legal to pay someone for sex on camera? How is one different to the other??”
Meanwhile, in another tweet (dated May 3, 2012), the businessman wrote that in India, "actors are playing cricketers, cricketers are playing politicians, politicians are watching porn while porn stars are becoming actors."
