Actor Shilpa Shetty has finally made a public statement on the Raj Kundra porn apps case. Her husband, businessman Raj Kundra, has been arrested in relation to the alleged distribution of pornographic material through an app. Shilpa had earlier filed a defamation suit against media houses and social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and demanded INR 25 crores in compensation stating that her reputation had been irredeemably damaged due to the reportage.
“Yes! The past few days have been challenging, on every front. There have been a lot of rumours and accusations. A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well wishers as well.
A lot of trolling/questions posed… not only to me but also to my family. MY STAND… I HAVE NOT COMMENTED YET and will continue to refrain from doing so on this case as it is subjudice, so please stop attributing false quotes on my behalf. Reiterating my philosophy of, as a celebrity “Never complain, never explain”. All I will say is, as it’s an on-going investigation, I have full faith in the Mumbai Police & the Indian judiciary,” she wrote in her statement which was posted on social media.
“As a family, we are taking recourse to all our available legal remedies. But, till then I humbly request you – especially as a MOTHER – to respect our privacy for my children’s sake and request you to refrain from commenting on half-baked information without verifying the veracity of the same. I am a proud law-abiding Indian citizen and a hardworking professional for the last 29 years. People have put their faith in ME & I’ve never let anyone down. So, most importantly, I request you to respect my family’s and ‘my right’ to privacy in these times. We don’t deserve a media trial. Please let the law take its course. Satyamev Jayate!” Shilpa Shetty wrote in conclusion.
