Shilpa Shetty has been listed as a witness in the 1400-page charge sheet against Raj Kundra, who is currently in jail, and was quoted in the sheet as saying that she was not aware of her husband’s porn racket because of her busy work schedule.
“I was too busy with work, I did not know what Raj Kundra was up to,” Shilpa said in a statement recorded in the charge sheet that was filed before a Mumbai court on Friday, Sept. 16.
She also categorically stated that she was unaware of the apps ‘Hotshots’ and ‘Bollyfame’, both of which have been identified as key apps used to stream porn in her husband’s extensive racket.
