User highlights Shilpa Shetty’s fraud accusations
The netizen wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Rajpal Yadav, Shilpa Shetty, and Ekta Kapoor joined Dhirendra Shastri on the foot march from Delhi to Vrindavan. Shilpa Shetty – She is accused of fraud exceeding 60 crore rupees from a businessman…. Celebrities who have cases against them are now taking refuge with babas…”
Raj Kundra counters trolls
Raj Kundra slammed the user saying, “People who live in the darkness of assumptions will always shout the loudest. But here’s a simple truth allegations are not convictions, and headlines are not judgments. Some people seek peace in faith. Some seek noise in trolling. 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.”Kundra further added, “The law will take its course, truth will take its time, and trolls like you will keep taking screenshots for dopamine. Stay blessed. Waheguru.”
Legal case against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra
