“At the outset, we would like to state that this piece of information is totally fake and mischievous, intentionally planted in the public domain to defame my client,” the statement declared. “We shall go to the root of mischief and adopt the due process of law to file criminal proceedings and civil damages against all the news articles circulated mischievously to defame my client,” it added.

The lawyer further clarified that, “No such amount was ever received by my client, Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra, and at this stage, we cannot reveal anything further as the matter is sub judice.” “My clients are, however, compelled to initiate criminal and civil cases against all the fake media articles that have circulated the news without verifying the truth.”

Shilpa Shetty Will Cooperate With Investigating Authorities

“By intentionally defaming my client, Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra, she is now compelled to seek protection of law enforcement agencies against such mischievous conduct of certain individuals,” it stated. Shetty, through her lawyer, also reiterated her readiness to cooperate with authorities. She emphasised that all “defamatory articles and news shall be dealt with strongly by adopting the procedure established by law as it infringes the Fundamental Rights of my client.”

“My clients are moving the Honourable Bombay High Court for relief against the defamatory campaign launched by certain media outlets against Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra. Any individuals or media outlets publishing online stories based on false and unverified facts will face legal consequences,” the statement concluded.

What Is the Raj Kundra Rs 60 Crore Cheating Case?

In August 2025, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty were booked by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). It was for allegedly cheating a Mumbai-based businessman out of Rs 60.4 crore, related to a loan-cum-investment deal. An unidentified individual was also charged in connection with the case.

The complainant, Deepak Kothari, alleged that the couple defrauded him of over Rs 60 crore through their now-defunct company, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd. Kothari claimed he invested the amount between 2015 and 2023. He believed it was for expanding a business, but the money was allegedly misused for personal expenses. The EOW is currently investigating the matter.
