Raj Kundra has issued a sharp response to a social media user who claimed that his wife, actress Shilpa Shetty, joined spiritual leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri’s Vrindavan padyatra only to ‘wash her image’. The allegation linked Shilpa and other celebrities—including Rajpal Yadav, Ekta Kapoor and cricketer Shikhar Dhawan—to a supposed attempt at improving public perception due to their past legal controversies.
Kundra rejected the speculation outright, stressing that faith should not be judged through the lens of online assumptions. He wrote, “People who live in the darkness of assumptions will always shout the loudest. Allegations are not convictions, and headlines are not judgments. Some people seek peace in faith. Some seek noise in trolling.”
His response highlighted how social media often amplifies negativity without understanding the context of someone’s spiritual or personal choices. Kundra added, “If standing for Sanatan, showing devotion, or supporting a spiritual cause bothers you so much, maybe the problem isn’t with us… it’s with the bitterness in your own heart.”
The businessman also addressed the ongoing chatter around their legal matters. Writing directly to the troll, he said, “The law will take its course, truth will take its time, and trolls like you will keep taking screenshots for dopamine. Stay blessed. Waheguru.”
Kundra’s comments indicate that neither he nor Shilpa Shetty is concerned about online assumptions and that they remain confident in legal proceedings.
Meanwhile, the couple has recently been in headlines due to a Rs 60-crore fraud complaint filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Ltd. He alleged that the couple borrowed money for business expansion but used the funds for personal expenses—claims their legal team has firmly denied. The case is currently being investigated by the Mumbai Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW).
Despite the ongoing inquiry, Shilpa and Raj have continued to attend public events. Kundra’s statement underscores that they intend to maintain their spiritual engagements without letting social media speculation overshadow their beliefs or personal choices.
