Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra has broken her silence on the alleged ₹60 crore fraud case against her and her husband Raj Kundra. In a statement, she dismissed the charges as 'baseless' and 'mischievous attempts' to link her name to the matter. Shilpa clarified that her association with the company in question was strictly non-executive and that she had no role in its operations, finances, or decision-making processes. She also revealed that she and her husband had loaned ₹20 crore to the company, which remains unpaid. The actress expressed her disappointment and frustration at being dragged into the proceedings despite the facts being clear. She emphasized that the allegations not only misrepresent the truth but also unfairly tarnish her reputation and dignity. Shilpa's statement comes after her lawyer denied claims of an income tax raid at her residence earlier this week. The couple is facing a probe by the Mumbai police in connection with the ₹60 crore criminal breach of trust case. The case was registered on a complaint filed by a 60-year-old businessman, Deepak Kothari, alleging he was duped of ₹60.4 crore in a loan-cum-investment deal linked to the now-defunct company Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has invoked a cheating charge against the high-profile couple in addition to criminal breach of trust. Shilpa has expressed her faith in the judicial process and has filed a quashing petition before the Bombay High Court to protect her rights and reputation. She has vowed to seek appropriate legal remedies to address the 'unwarranted allegations' against her.
