Raj Kundra breaks his silence
In an interview with ANI, Raj spoke about various aspects of his life and legal cases. Talking about the reason he refrained from talking about the allegations in public till now, Raj shared that “silence is bliss”.
“But when it comes to family and when family members are involved, I feel I should come out and speak. When I stay quiet, people think I’m hiding something. And people should realize the truth… Shilpa Shetty has earned such a big name for herself here, she has worked so hard. It is so unfair that the controversy is mine, and you are involving my wife’s name. Why? Because you get clickbait? You are spoiling her reputation for views. She has nothing to do with this, so why involve her? Just because I am her husband?” he said.
The businessman added that he doesn’t understand why his family is getting into his legal battles.
Raj shared, “I have been here for 15 years, from an IPL team owner to a businessman who has made many investments in India. I don’t think I am not well-known. It is wrong to spoil someone’s reputation like this. You can say anything about me, but don’t involve my family unnecessarily… My wife has been very supportive; she knows what I can and cannot do. My entire family has been very supportive”.
In the interview, Raj also denied his involvement in the production of any pornography material, stressing that the allegations were hurtful. He ended by saying that he has full faith in the judiciary.
