Elaborating further on it, “It was very difficult for me the first time around, because the situation was very different. I was unfortunately being heavily trolled for no fault of mine. My family also, at that point in time, felt that it's better for me to just lock myself in that house. And also it was a previous commitment, and I didn't want to back off because of everything that happened. I wanted to stick to my word and continue. As they say, ‘The show must go on’.”

She also went on clarifying, “Honestly, at this time, people have been sitting at home with no work; they've lost work. And I'm being paid to sit in a house, why would I say no?”

For the unversed, Raj Kundra was arrested in July this year, in connection to the alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps. In the voluminous document, the police have said the probe conducted by the property cell of the crime branch has revealed that Kundra was the 'main facilitator' in the porn films case.

Currently, after spending several weeks in judicial custody, Raj Kundra was granted bail last month.

Talking about Shilpa’s reaction over the incident, she said in her social media post that she has full faith in Mumbai police and judicial system. 

Later, her statement with Mumbai police also went viral in which she said that she had no knowledge about Raj Kundra’s business dealings.
