A recent video from Croatia showing what appears to be a tense exchange involving Shilpa Shetty’s family at a restaurant has quickly made waves online, prompting speculation and mixed reactions from social media users. Now, businessman and Shilpa’s husband, Raj Kundra, has come forward to clarify what actually happened.
Raj Kundra speaks about the Croatia incident
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Raj addressed the controversy surrounding the viral clip, revealing that the situation stemmed from a major mix-up with the restaurant’s reservation system.
“I’d like to clarify the situation regarding the video circulating online. I had booked this particular restaurant a year in advance to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that our table had been given away to another group due to what they claimed was a ‘double booking’ error from the same agent,” he told Hindustan Times.
Raj described the situation as extremely frustrating, particularly given the presence of elderly family members and a large group of guests who had come together for a special occasion.
“As someone who has also run restaurants, I found the handling of the situation deeply frustrating especially with my elderly parents, mother-in-law and 20 guests left waiting. What was meant to be a special evening turned unnecessarily stressful, and when we raised our concerns, we were abruptly told to stay quiet, which only added to our disappointment,” he added.
The businessman also expressed disappointment over the restaurant's lack of professionalism, noting that months of careful planning had gone to waste.
“After a year of planning, the lack of accountability or even basic courtesy from the restaurant management was extremely disheartening. I hope this puts the situation into perspective,” Raj said.
What the viral video featuring Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra shows
Raj and Shilpa are currently vacationing in Croatia’s picturesque Hvar Islands to mark the actress’s 50th birthday. The controversy erupted after a video surfaced on Wednesday, allegedly showing an altercation involving the couple’s family at a local restaurant.
According to online accounts, the incident is believed to have taken place on June 9. Some social media users claimed the dispute began when a foreign diner requested the family to lower their voices, leading to a confrontation. One post alleged that Raj responded by saying, “You don’t know who we are.”

While the video doesn’t clearly capture faces, it records a scene of commotion just outside the restaurant, with voices raised and a crowd forming. At one point, a woman—believed to be either Shilpa or her sister Shamita—is heard saying, “Don’t talk to us, we don’t want to hear you.” Read more here
