Shilpa Shetty hits back at trolls claiming she married Raj Kundra for money – 'I was also very rich back then and I'm richer today'

Shilpa Shetty, whose career spans decades, has experienced both the highs and lows of being a public figure. Her professional journey has seen massive hits and big duds, yet she continues to deliver top-notch content to her loyal fans. While her professional life often takes the spotlight, audiences are also curious about her personal life, which has had its fair share of adventures. Most recently, her personal life became a topic of discussion when her husband, Raj Kundra, was arrested in a controversial case. Shetty has now opened up about marrying him in a candid interview.

Shilpa Shetty On Claims That She Married Raj Kundra For Money

The Indian Police Force actor addressed the notion that women marry for money, sharing her own experience. She mentioned that Raj Kundra was the 108th richest British Indian, but emphasised that she was financially well-off herself and didn't marry him for his wealth. Shetty candidly expressed the importance of having a partner who is secure and capable of sustaining their lifestyle.

Speaking to Zoom, Shilpa Shetty said, “When I married Raj, he was supposed to be the 108th youngest or richest British Indian, apparently, according to Google, which is great. But I think people also forgot to Google Shilpa Shetty, who was also very rich back then. I'm richer today and I pay all my income tax bills, GST and everything.”
