Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra provedhe played mind games to keep his business in a cocoon even if the Police detainshim for his alleged involvement in the porn racket case.
The WhatsApp Chats that were purportedly leaked on socialmedia showed that Raj Kundra had already made ‘Plan B’ to keep his errands ofcreating and publishing porn on applications if his already blocked app ‘HotShots’land in trouble.
According to the information released by the MumbaiPolice, Mr. Kundra was already aware of the fact that he could be arrested bythe cops so he had a word over this with his business partner Pradeep Bakshi,who is based in the UK, on WhatsApp group ‘H Accounts,’ which is now undersurveillance of Crime Branch.
Apparently, Mumbai Police reached these chats whilequizzing Mr. Kundra’s former personal assistant Umesh Kamat, who is also therepresentative of Kenrin Production House in India. Going by the chats, theyhad another app namely ‘Bollyfame’, which will be ready in 2-3 weeks, on whichporn videos were to be streamed.

Kundra –It’s great that we prepared for Bollyfame
Kamat–Will come to the office and talk, we should remove all bold content till then
Kundra – Idoubt they will remove ALTBalaji content.
Kamat–it’s not that serious. They will just ask to remove objectionable content
Pertinently, the key conspirator of pornographic contentcreation and publication, Raj Kundra believed that the future of such videos is‘Live Content.’
At least four screenshots of WhatsApp chats were doingrounds on social media in which Kundra was allegedly discussing the''Plan B'' with another member on ''H ACCOUNTS'' group, the sources said.Moreover, a member in the group shared a screenshot of the mail received fromGoogle Play Store about the status of HotShots, to which Kundra replied,"...Plan B started max 2-3 weeks the new app will be live iOS and Androidit''s a blessing."
Divulging the details of the chats, a member named as RobDigital Marketing Hotshots asked Kundra, "until then, can we deactivateall the bold films and the Appeal again the Play store.”
A screenshot of chat of November 10 showed that a membertold Kundra, "till BF (Bollyfame) is up let's find out a way to sustain HS(Hotshots)." The discussion further moved to the removal of “extremelybold content” from the platform for some time.
On October 11, members of ''H ACCOUNTS'' WhatsApp groupdiscussed live revenue of Rs 1.85 lakh and movie sale of Rs 4.52 lakh,which was appreciated by Kundra and his brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi, who wasalso allegedly part of the racket.
However, due to its objectionable content, ''Hotshots''was suspended by Google Play Store and Apple App Store last year.
