Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s happy world came crashing down when her husband was arrested by the Mumbai police on July 19, 2021. Raj is arrested for his alleged involvement in the creation of pornographic content and is said to be the ‘key conspirator’. Since then, a lot of advancements have happened in the case with police raiding their house, reports of Shilpa breaking down, and the Shetty family being trolled.
For the unversed, in February 2021, a racket publishing pornographic content was busted and Raj Kundra was allegedly involved in the same. A woman had approached Mumbai Police and had put allegations on Raj Kundra for luring men and women with the idea of giving them web series and later, forcing them to act in adult movies. Since Raj Kundra’s arrest, Shilpa Shetty has been underground and a few days back had released an official statement over the matter.

On August 2, 2021, Shilpa Shetty had finally broken her silence over her husband, Raj Kundra’s arrest, sharing an official statement. Reacting to the accusations, Shilpa had written, "My statement. Yes! The past few days have been challenging, on every front. There have been a lot of rumours and accusations. A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well wishers as well. A lot of trolling/questions posed… not only to me but also to my family. MY STAND… 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."

Shilpa had requested everyone to respect her family’s privacy for the sake of her children, and had continued, "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."
Shilpa had concluded the statement with how her family doesn’t need a media trial, "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. We don’t deserve a media trial. Please let the law take its course. Satyamev Jayate! With Positivity and Gratitude, Shilpa Shetty Kundra."
The 'We For India' event will be a three-hour videothon, which will stream on Facebook.
