Shilpa Shetty And Raj Kundra Face Cheating Charges

In Bollywood, glamour and controversy often walk hand in hand, and this week, it’s Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra who are in the spotlight. A Mumbai-based businessman, Deepak Kothari, has accused the couple of cheating him out of a massive ₹60 crore in an investment deal gone wrong. What started as a business collaboration is now a full-blown legal battle.

The complaint says Deepak invested ₹60.48 crore between 2015 and 2023 in a venture called Best Deal TV, where both Shilpa and Raj were directors. At the time, Kothari owned more than 87% of the company. According to him, the funds meant for business were allegedly diverted for personal use. And here’s the twist, Shilpa reportedly gave him a personal guarantee in April 2016, only to resign as director a few months later without making the exit public.

The shock for Deepak came later when he discovered that Best Deal TV had gone bankrupt. This wasn’t just a case of a business failing, it was, in his view, a betrayal. His trust, investments, and years of association all seemed to have crumbled overnight. The complaint has since been handed over to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for a deeper investigation.

As for Shilpa and Raj, the news has set social media buzzing with speculation. While the investigation is still in progress, the case adds yet another chapter to the couple’s history of legal troubles. Whether this turns out to be a misunderstanding or a major scam, one thing is clear, this legal drama has all the makings of a real-life courtroom thriller.
