Actress Shilpa Shetty has opened up about a new FIR filed against her and Raj Kundra. A businessman filed a cheating complaint against the celebrity couple and has demanded Rs 1.51 crore from them. He accused Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra of obtaining money for the company from investors all around the country, and when he requested his Rs 1.51 crore back, the couple allegedly threatened him.
As the news hit the headlines, Shilpa Shetty took to her social media and defended herself and her husband. She wrote, “Woke up to an FIR registered in Raj and my name! Shocked!! To set the record straight, SFL Fitness, A venture run by Kashiff Khan. He had taken naming rights of brand SFL to open SFL Fitness gyms around the country. All deals were struck by him and he was signatory in banking and day-to-day affairs. We are not aware of any of his transactions nor have we received a single rupee from him for the same. All franchisee’s dealt directly with Kashiff. The company closed in 2014 and was entirely handled by Kashiff Khan.”
She further added, “I have worked very hard over the last 28 years. And it pains me to see that my name and reputation is getting damaged and dragged so loosely. To get eyeballs. My rights as a law-abiding proud citizen in India should be protected.”
Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty have been surrounded by several legal controversies this year. Raj Kundra spent two months in jail as the Mumbai Police arrested him for allegedly producing and streaming adult films. Actor Sherlyn Chopra also filed an FIR accusing the couple of blackmail and harassment.
