Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra approach Bombay High Court over Rs 60-crores cheating FIR

Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra have approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash a Rs 60-crores cheating case registered against them by the Mumbai police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW). The case stems from a complaint filed by Deepak Kothari, director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Ltd, an NBFC, who alleged that between 2015 and 2023, the couple, through an agent named Rajesh Arya, had induced him to invest Rs 60 crores in their now-defunct company Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd. Kothari claimed that instead of using the funds for business purposes, the amount was misappropriated for personal benefits. According to the FIR, a meeting was held in 2015 at a five-star hotel in Juhu where Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra, Arya, and Kothari were present. The couple reportedly represented themselves as directors of Best Deal TV and requested a business loan, assuring Kothari of monthly returns and repayment of the principal amount. The funds were routed as “investment” to avoid higher taxation, according to the complaint. Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s legal team has claimed that the FIR was lodged based on false and distorted facts and has been “maliciously filed with an ulterior and malafide motive to extort money.” Shilpa Shetty stated that she was not involved in the company’s day-to-day affairs and was associated with it for a limited period. The couple has argued that the dispute is civil in nature, arising from a failed business venture and investment loss, aggravated by economic downturns like demonetisation. The Bombay High Court on Monday heard the couple’s plea and directed them to provide a copy of their petitions to the complainant, Deepak Kothari. The matter has been posted for further hearing on November 20. The couple has also sought protection from any coercive action or filing of a chargesheet pending the disposal of their petitions.

Rakhi Sawant slams Urvashi Rautela over latter’s ‘all natural’ claim: “Humne tumhare purane photos dekhe hain!”

Rakhi Sawant has weighed in on Urvashi Rautela’s recent statement about being “all natural,” and in true Rakhi style, she has not held back. During a podcast conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Urvashi spoke about her appearance, prompting Rakhi to respond with a string of bold, unfiltered remarks that quickly grabbed attention online. Rakhi began by calling out the secrecy around cosmetic enhancements in the entertainment industry. “Bahut saare logon ne apni hatheliyon ki haddiyan tudwa ke kamar patli kar li hai. This is the new style, you know? Yeh log China, Bhutan, Bangkok, America, Canada jaate hain, aur apni kamar ki upar wali do haddiyan todwa ke andar kar lete hain. Yeh style hai aajkal! Log nahi bolte, kyun bolne ka? Unko lagta hai, ‘kyun bolun bhai, meri mast daal-roti chal rahi hai! (Many people get the bones of their palms broken to make their waist thin. This is the new style. They go to China, Bhutan, Bangkok, America, Canada and get the two upper bones of their waist broken and pushed in. It’s a trend today! People don’t talk about it because they think, ‘Why say anything when my life is going well?’!)”Turning directly to Urvashi’s claim, Rakhi added, “Par kuch log nahi bolte na, phir Urvashi ki tarah sab bolte hain, ‘main toh born, paidaishi aisi hi hoon!’ Urvashi, humne tumhare purane photo dekhe hain behen! Please, sabke purane photo dekho (But some people don’t admit anything, and then like Urvashi, they say, ‘I was born this way!’ Urvashi, we’ve seen your old photos, sister. Please, just look at everyone’s old photos).”Rakhi didn’t stop there. When reminded about being compared to Urvashi in the past, she unleashed yet another sharp comment. “Aapka kya dimaag ghutne mein hai kya? Aap meri tulna Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Paris Hilton aur Kim Kardashian se karen. Aapko ghisapita bas ek hi naam mil jaata hai (Is your brain in your knees? Compare me with Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. You people always find the same old name).”Rakhi’s remarks have now sparked new debate across social media, with fans weighing in on the practice of cosmetic procedures, transparency among celebrities, and the long-standing comparisons between actors. As always, Rakhi’s unfiltered commentary has added fuel to the conversation and ensured that the internet is talking once again.
