After being released on bail in the alleged porn films scandal case, Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra has been keeping a low profile.
Talking to Pinkvilla, the businessman broke his silence about the controversy and claimed that the case was a ‘witch hunt’ against him.
Raj denied being involved in the production and distribution of ‘porn’ and stated that the matter was subjudice. He added that though he has been declared guilty in the ‘media trial’, he has full faith in the judiciary.
“There are many misleading and irresponsible statements/ articles floating around and my silence has been misconstrued for weakness. I would like to start by stating that I have never been involved in the production and distribution of “pornography” ever in my life. This whole episode has been nothing but a witch hunt. The matter is subjudice so I cannot elucidate, but I am ready to face trial and have full faith in the judiciary, where the truth will prevail.
However, unfortunately, I have already been pronounced “guilty” by the media and my family and I have been subjected to a lot of pain (continuously), violating my human and constitutional rights at different levels. The trolling, negativity and toxic public perception has been very debilitating,” Raj said.
The businessman concluded by saying that he wasn’t hiding out of shame but rather wished that his privacy and right to live with dignity is respected and not battered by media trials!
