Raj Kundra, the husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, has been placed in judicial custody for 14 days in connection with his suspected involvement in the creation and distribution of pornographic video through applications such as HotShots.
Kundra had planned to pull in various Bollywood actresses, including Celina Jaitly, Kim Sharma, Neha Dhupia, Arshi Khan, Nora Fatehi, Gizele Thakral, and Scarlet Rose, among others, by the creative team of HotShots app, according to a video published recently by a model-turned-actress.
According to sources, Celina Jaitly's spokesman, has denied the accusations, claiming that while Celina was invited to star in an app, it was Shilpa Shetty's influencer app, not Raj Kundra's HotShots.
Celina has no idea what HotShots is all about, according to the spokesperson, and her commitments prevented her from joining Shilpa's JL Stream app when it first launched.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Crime Branch detained Kundra on July 19 for his role in the production and distribution of pornographic material.
He has filed a complaint with the Bombay High Court, alleging that his detention was 'illegal.' Shilpa has also shown her support for her husband, claiming that the clips featured on the apps are 'erotica' rather than porn.
Later she was told by a producer that she was not fit to play the role of 'single mother', so the script is changed and refused to work because of the bold scenes.
According to the complaint filed by the actress, The First Information Report (FIR) was registered under various Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, including 420 (cheating), 392 (punishment for robbery), 393 (attempt to commit robbery), and provisions of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act and the Information Technology Act, the official added.
