Calling her self a proud law-abiding Indian citizen and a hardworking professional for the last 29 years, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has finally issued a staement in the ongoing pornography case in which her husband Raj Kundra is currently serving 14 days judicial custody. This is the first time Shilpa has reacted on the case and up until now the actress had maintained a dignified silence on the entire matter.
On Monday she took to her Instagram to share her statement that reads as follows:
Yes! The past few days have been challenging, on every front. There have been a lot of rumours and accusations. A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well wishers as well. A lot of trolling/questions posed… not only to me but also to my family.
MY STAND… I HAVE NOT COMMENTED YET and will continue to refrain from doing so on this case as it is subjudice, so please stop attributing false quotes on my behalf. Reiterating my philosophy of, as a celebrity “Never complain, never explain”. All I will say is, as it’s an on-going investigation, I have full faith in the Mumbai Police & the Indian judiciary.
As a family, we are taking recourse to all our available legal remedies. But, till then I humbly request you - especially as a MOTHER - to respect our privacy for my children’s sake and request you to refrain from commenting on half-baked information without verifying the veracity of the same.
I am a proud law-abiding Indian citizen and a hardworking professional for the last 29 years. People have put their faith in ME & I’ve never let anyone down. So, most importantly, I request you to respect my family’s and ‘my right’ to privacy in these times.
We don’t deserve a media trial. Please let the law take its course.
Satyamev Jayate!
With Positivity and Gratitude,
Shilpa Shetty Kundra
