Raj Kundra opens up about jail term, ongoing case & trolling: 'Shilpa Shetty was collateral damage'

Shilpa Shetty's husband and businessman, Raj Kundra, recently shared insights into the ongoing pornography case he has been involved in since 2021. In July 2021, Raj Kundra was arrested in connection with the alleged production and distribution of pornographic films through mobile applications. The businessman was labeled as the main accused and spent over two months behind bars. After the case, trolls on social media labeled him as the 'porn king.' In a recent interview with HT, addressing this label, Raj mentioned that he thinks he faced extensive trolling mainly because of his marital status. He said, 'It all happened because I am married to a celebrity. If I were not, I don’t think half this damage would have been done. I feel they weren’t getting at me, but my wife and kids. It’s really unfair that Shilpa had to bear the brunt of it. You attack me, no issues; she was collateral damage.' Raj said that despite attempting to lead a normal life, he continues to face constant trolling regarding the case. The businessman added, 'I delete and block trolls on social media; I don’t care. But the last thing I want is my wife and kids reading terms like this. Even today, when Shilpa posts a Valentine’s message, trolls start commenting ‘porn king’s wife’… they don’t know the facts! They are not even giving the judiciary a chance to announce whether I am guilty. Took a sabbatical from everything, was seen less at events for two years. Then a friend approached me, saying they want to make a film based on the notes I wrote while inside the jail, which ultimately became the 2023 film 'UT69'.' Raj Kundra later produced a film 'UT 69' chronicling the 63 days he spent in Arthur Road jail following his arrest in the pornography case.
