Bollywood Couple Accused of Transferring Millions to Shetty's Company

As of September 26th, 2025, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra are under investigation for their alleged connection to a major fraud case. Recent reports had suggested that Raj Kundra had transferred around Rs 15 crore to a company owned by Shilpa Shetty.

However, Shilpa Shetty's lawyer, Prashant Patil, has now strongly refuted these allegations. Patil issued a statement calling the news "totally fake and mischievous" and said it was "intentionally planted in the public domain to defame" the actress. He stated that no such amount was ever received by Shilpa Shetty Kundra and that the matter is currently subjudice.

The lawyer further added that Shilpa and Raj have always cooperated with the investigation agencies and will continue to do so. However, he said they are now moving the Bombay High Court to seek relief against the "defamatory campaign" adopted by certain media outlets against the actress.

Earlier, a complaint was lodged by businessman Deepak Kothari, who accused Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra of cheating him of Rs 60.48 crore between 2015 and 2023 through their now-defunct company. The investigation into this alleged fraud case is still ongoing.
