Shilpa Shetty on Wednesday (August 18) returned back on the sets of Super Dancer for the first time since the arrest of her businessman husband Raj Kundra in July. The actress was spotted by the paparazzi and even waved to them as she headed to the set from her vanity van.
Several pictures and videos are now viral online that showed Shilpa in a saree, walking towards the set in silence. She also waved to the paparazzi.
Earlier Indian Express had quoted an insider as saying that the crew turned emotional after Shilpa's return. Shilpa Shetty is one of the judges on Super Dancer 4 along with filmmaker Anurag Basu and Bollywood choreographer Geeta Kapur.
“The makers had been in constant touch with her and only recently she decided that she was ready to make a comeback. Shilpa wants to get back to work not just for her kids and family but also for her own sanity. She was welcomed warmly by the Super Dancer team, which made her quite emotional in the morning," the insider was quoted as saying.
Earlier, Shilpa also participated in the pre-recorded, ‘We for India’ campaign over the weekend. It was her first social media appearance since husband’s arrest. Previously she had issued a statement on the whole matter.
Raj Kundra was arrested on July 19 for allegedly being involved in the production and streaming of pornographic content through an app called Hotshots.
However, Raj Kundra was granted interim relief on Wednesday, after spending several weeks in judicial custody for his alleged role in a pornography racket.
