Bollywood actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra have often found themselves at the receiving end of the media glare-not just for their various professional undertakings but for a whole bunch of controversies that have over the year made headlines.

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s Biggest Controversies:

2009: IPL Betting Allegations

In 2009, soon after the marriage, Raj Kundra, together with Shilpa, who was co-owner of the Rajasthan Royals team in the IPL, was being questioned with regard to betting and match-fixing allegations. While no legal action came to be conclusively laid against them, that was enough to draw prying eyes into their public persona early.

2013: Gold Scam Links

Kundra’s name was brought up during investigations into what they say may have been a gold trading scam. And while he was never found guilty, the reports kept on surfacing time and again, hence marking this as another chapter in a desperate bid to redeem themselves before the law.

2021: Pornography Content Case

One of the highly publicized cases did, in fact, start in July 2021 when Raj Kundra was arrested on charges of producing and distributing pornography via mobile apps. The case stirred massive media thrash-about and backing on social media, with Shilpa Shetty’s public statement distancing herself from the issue and requesting privacy for her family.

2024: Cheating Allegations of ₹ 60 Crores

In 2024, a complaint was filed against Raj Kundra in connection with alleged cheating of ₹ 60 crores in a business deal. The police investigation is reportedly ongoing; however, this added to the layer of controversy surrounding the couple in public life.

Public Image and Response

Through the incidents, Shilpa Shetty has mostly kept a dignified silence, occasionally issuing statements or short posts on social media where she expresses her focus on family and career.
