Shilpa Shetty At Press Event: Businessman and husband to actor Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra was granted bail last week after two months of his arrest in the pornography case. Kundra is accused of producing and distributing pornographic films in India. Ever since the arrest of Kundra, Shilpa Shetty has been under media scrutiny as she is constantly asked questions about her husband's case proceedings.
In a clip from a recent press event, the actor was reportedly seen shutting down such questions with a firm reply. When faced with another question on Kundra, Shetty said, " Main Raj Kundra hoon? Main uske jaise lagti hoon? Nahi nahi, main kaun hoon? ( Am I Raj Kundra? Do I look like him ? No no, tell me who am I ? )
She added that as a celebrity, one should never complain neither explain. She said, " This is my life's philosophy." Recently, Mumbai police submitted its chargesheet of the pornography case in court in which Shetty's statements were mentioned. When the inquired about her husband's involvement in the alleged crime, the actor said that she was too busy with her work to know what Raj Kundra was doing.
She has also been sharing motivational quotes on her social media handle. The recent talked about how one learns from sufferings of difficult times. The quote added, “This may be true, but not in the simple way we might think. Difficult times don’t make us better; working through difficult times does. Suffering can force us to draw on strengths we never knew we had. Discovering these hidden strengths can then help us cope should difficult times come again."
Shilpa Shetty has so maintained her silence in the ongoing case. She had also filed a defamation suit against several media outlets for allegedly "smearing her reputation with the aim of sensationalising news and increasing their readership and viewership." The Bombay High Court refused to impose a gag order on media outlets from reporting on the pornography case against Raj Kundra but directed a couple of publications to remove videos from YouTube as it targetted Shilpa Shetty and her kids.
