In an exclusive interview, businessman Raj Kundra, who is married to actress Shilpa Shetty, finally opened up about his divorce from his first wife Kavita. His interview came after an old video of his ex-wife blaming Shilpa Shetty for their marriage's breakdown released online. Raj Kundra divorced Kavita in 2006, and he married Shilpa Shetty in 2009  who recently celebrated her 46th birthday.



Raj Kundra, speaking in an interview about his ex-wife Kavita's old video, said: "It's disheartening that just a few days after my wife's birthday, 11-year-old news becomes viral again, bringing up a half-baked story and continuing to try to discredit us. Clearly, there is a strategy in place. I've kept my mouth shut for the past 12 years, but now it's time to speak up.Enough is enough”

Raj Kundra said that the media paid his ex-wife to "sell a so called shocking story." He stated, "News of the World paid her hundreds of pounds to conduct this interview. During our divorce, she had to show her bank statements, on which it was clearly stated that she had been paid by the newspaper to sell a so called sensational story.He said, ”She's blaming a celebrity for her failed marriage when she was the one who caused it to fail.”

Raj Kundra also discussed the grounds behind his divorce from Kavita in the interview. When they moved in London, he said that Kavita "always brought out the worst in him" and that she was having an affair with his sister's husband. "She became increasingly close to my ex-brother-in-law, spending more and more time with him, particularly when I was away on a business trip. Many members of my family, including my driver, would suggest there's something fishy going on between these two, and I'd never believe them. I decided to give my ex-wife the benefit of the doubt.”


Raj Kundra went on to say that he found out about his wife's romance after "his sister and her husband moved back to India," as Kavita and his brother-in-law were still in touch. He also claimed to have discovered a cellphone hidden in "her bathroom" by Kavita, as well as the texts she had written to his sister's spouse at the time.

"I remember being saddened and crying uncontrollably as I considered what I had done to deserve this. I called my pregnant sister and informed her that the phone number was Kavita's second secret phone, that I was going to drop her off at her house, and that that was the end of my involvement; she could do whatever she wanted.”

Raj said that after the birth of their baby girl, he left Kavita at her parents' house in India without confronting her, and added: "That was the last time I left her and my kid; somewhere inside Kavita, she sensed something was wrong. Saying farewell to my 40-day-old kid was difficult." He claimed that once he returned to the UK, he texted her to inform her that he had learned about her affair.

"Later, when I met Shilpa through mutual friends and my ex found out about our date on the internet, she raised her divorce demands." She even sold a storey to a UK tabloid for tens of thousands of pounds saying Shilpa ruined her marriage. Kavita demanded that I stay away from our baby as part of our multi-million dollar divorce agreement, and that my daughter would know where to find me if she needed me. I agree that it was unfair to the child, but everytime we met, we fought like cats and dogs, and we both felt that our daughter didn't deserve to be exposed to this part of us.

I knew she was very well financially, but I miss my kid, and I'm sure she hasn't learned half of the story; God knows what my ex-wife has fed her mind. I attempted several times to contact my daughter, but no one was ready to connect me. "I could have tried more," Raj Kundra admitted, "but I think I just moved on with my life in a new country."


Raj Kundra stated Shilpa Shetty "truly supported him during that painful moment of his life." He said he "has not been in touch" with his ex-wife since their divorce When questioned about Shilpa Shetty's reaction to the old footage of Kavita that has reappeared again, Raj stated: "I was really upset and quite angry. She again said ignore don't worry, but I decided enough is enough."She has no idea I've given this interview, and I'm doing it because I believe the truth needs to be spoken."
