Raj Kundra has been spotted for the first time in public, ever since he was released on bail in September. The businessman and his family took off to Himachal Pradesh for a vacation and Raj was snapped visiting a temple with wife Shilpa Shetty. The duo were twinning in yellow for the spiritual outing. Pictures of Raj Kundra’s first public outing post his controversial arrest are going viral on the internet.
Last month it was reported that Raj Kundra had deleted his social media profiles. An avid Instagram and Twitter user, the businessman decided to remove all his accounts, while Shilpa Shetty continues to charm her followers on Instagram with fitness videos and family pictures.
Raj Kundra was arrested in July for his connection to a probe about production and distribution of pornographic content. His offices in Mumbai were raided by the Mumbai police. Raj walked out of jail on September 21, two months after his arrest in the case. The police, in a 1500-page supplementary charge-sheet, had claimed that Kundra was the “main facilitator” in the case and he along with other accused exploited young women struggling in the movie industry by filming them in obscene ways. In his plea, Raj Kundra had claimed that he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ in the case and that there was not a single allegation in the entire supplementary charge-sheet against him.
Post Raj Kundra’s arrest, Shilpa Shetty had shared in a statement, “I have not commented yet and will continue to refrain from doing so on this case as it is subjudice, so please stop attributing false quotes on my behalf. Reiterating my philosophy of, as a celebrity “Never complain, never explain”. All I will say is, as it’s an on-going investigation, I have full faith in the Mumbai Police & the Indian judiciary. As a family, we are taking recourse to all our available legal remedies. But, till then I humbly request you – especially as a MOTHER – to respect our privacy for my children’s sake and request you to refrain from commenting on half-baked information without verifying the veracity of the same.
I am a proud law-abiding Indian citizen and a hardworking professional for the last 29 years. People have put their faith in ME & I’ve never let anyone down. So, most importantly, I request you to respect my family’s and ‘my right’ to privacy in these times.
