Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her businessman-husband Raj Kundra have hit the headlines again.
The 46-year-old businessman, who was arrested in the alleged porn films case, is currently out on bail.
On October 14, actress Sherlyn Chopra filed a fresh case against Raj & Shilpa at Juhu Police Station. In the FIR, she had allegedly accused the couple of sexually and mentally harassing her.
Earlier, the model-actress had supposedly accused Raj of sexual assault. She had also allegedly claimed that Raj had once stated that his relationship with Shilpa was complicated.
Now, according to India Today, Shilpa & Raj’s lawyers have reportedly filed a Rs 50 crore defamation suit against Sherlyn. The notice was apparently sent to Sherlyn seeking an apology for the lewd remarks she had made against them on public platforms.
Shilpa-Raj’s notice reportedly claimed that Chopra’s allegations against the duo were allegedly based on an ‘ulterior motive to extort money’ from them.
The official statement reads, “The entire allegations made by Ms Sherlyn Chopra against Mr Raj Kundra and Ms Shilpa Shetty Kundra, are concocted, false, fake, frivolous, baseless, without any evidence, even to Ms Sherlyn Chopra’s knowledge, and have been made with an ulterior motive to defame and extort money.”
“The allegations are nothing but an afterthought, wherein Ms. Sherlyn Chopra, is arraigned as an Accused, in C.R. No. 02/2020, Nodal Cyber Police Station. That, Ms. Sherlyn Chopra, has committed offences u/s 499, 550, 389 and 195(A), of Indian Penal Code, 1860. That, we have complete faith in the Indian Judiciary, and we would be initiating civil/criminal proceedings against Ms. Sherlyn Chopra before the competent court of Law, for Justice. We have put a defamation of 50 cr against Sherlyn Chopra,” the notice added.
Sherlyn Chopra is yet to respond to the lawsuit.
