Shilpa Shetty Denies Involvement in Money Laundering Investigation, Calls Media Reports Misleading

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has found herself at the center of controversy once again, this time due to an investigation involving her husband, Raj Kundra. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) recently raided the couple’s home and office in connection with a money laundering probe. According to Indian media reports, the investigation is related to the alleged production and distribution of adult content via mobile applications.
Sources say the ED is also investigating several associates of Raj Kundra in this case.
However, Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer, Advocate Prashant Patel, issued a statement refuting the claims that the actress was involved in any way. He clarified that reports suggesting the ED had raided Shilpa Shetty’s residence were “false and misleading.” Patel emphasized that Shilpa Shetty had no connection to any criminal activities and had not been subject to any investigation.
He further confirmed that Raj Kundra is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. The lawyer also requested the media to refrain from using Shilpa Shetty’s images or videos while discussing the case, as she is not involved, and warned that legal action would be taken against any irresponsible reporting.
This comes after Raj Kundra was previously arrested in 2021 on charges related to the production and distribution of adult films, though he was later granted bail.
