Actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra has been making headlines after he was arrested by Mumbai police in a case related to alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps, a senior official said. Kundra (45) appears to be the "key conspirator" of the case, the official said on July 19, 2021. Few candid pictures of Shilpa and Raj are doing the rounds on social media. The businessman was taken into custody by the Crime Branch on Monday after being booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology (IT) Act, he said. "There was a case registered with the Crime Branch Mumbai in February 2021 about creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some Apps. We've arrested Mr Raj Kundra in this case on 19/7/21 as he appears to be the key conspirator of this. We have sufficient evidences regarding this," Mumbai police commissioner said in a statement. The case was registered on February 04 at the Malwani police station in suburban Mumbai. An FIR was registered against Kundra after a woman approached the police and made certain allegations in her complaint, another official said. Kundra was booked under IPC Sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292 and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays), and relevant sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, he said.

Much-in-love couple Shilpa and Raj have been happily married for 11 years.

Shilpa and Raj's perfect fairytale began when they had started off as business acquaintances.

The two had first met for a business meeting and their pictures had sparked speculations about their budding romance. Although, Raj had earlier stated in an interview, “We are just friends. I have a business relationship with Shilpa regarding her perfume.”

Talking about her first meeting with Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty once said, "I met Raj in London through a common friend to discuss a business deal. I was swoon by his smile, charm, and persona."
