Actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra was arrested on July 19 for his alleged involvement in the creation and distribution of pornographic films. Since then many actors and models have come forward to speak about the case.
Bollywood model and actress Sagarika Shona Suman made a shocking revelation stating that Raj Kundra asked her to do a nude audition, to which she refused. “In August 2020, I got a call from Umesh Kamat Ji who offered me a web series owned and produced by Raj Kundra. I asked him about Raj Kundra and he told me he is Shilpa Shetty’s husband. He told me if I joined (the web series), I would continue to get work and I would reach great heights. So I agreed and then he told me to audition. I told him it’s Covid-19 so how will I give the audition. So he said, “You can do it via video call. When I joined the video call, he demanded that I give a nude audition. I was shocked and refused. The video call had three people – one of whom had their face covered, and I think one of them was Raj Kundra,” said Suman.
Soon after the interview, Sagarika claimed that she had been getting threatening, abusive calls and messages through Messenger and Whatsapp. She has now filed a complaint stating the fact people have threatened to kill or rape her.” I am disturbed and depressed because of the calls I am getting from different online platforms. I am getting rape threats. They are threatening me and accusing me of shutting down their business,” said Sagarika.
On Friday, the Mumbai Crime Branch recorded Shilpa Shetty’s statement regarding the case. Raj Kundra is currently under judicial custody till July 27. Bombay High denied him bail. Kundra’s lawyers claim that his arrest in the matter was “illegal.”
