Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have been mired in controversies lately. Raj Kundra’s case has been spiraling up as days are passing by. The 43-year-old businessman whose police custody was supposed to end today has been extended till August 10. Amid all these, we have stumbled upon an old interview of Raj Kundra where he spoke about how love brewed between him and his wife Shilpa Shetty.
In an interview with Bollywood Now, Raj Kundra had revealed that his first meeting with Shilpa Shetty was through his manager. During that time Shilpa Shetty was riding high on the success and popularity that she gained after her win in UK based reality show Big Brother. He went to her with the idea of making perfume. He softened Shilpa’s heart when he touched her mom’s feet in the very first meeting. However, she was not interested in having a romantic relationship with him. He told,“I’d like to say woh diya le ke mere peeche bhaagi (she ran after me with a lamp in her hand) that you are the one I have to marry, but that would be lying. Main toh haath paer dho ke peeche padh gaya (I really chased her), once I knew there was a little inclination of friendliness or that she liked me, I said, chalo, let’s try.”

He had further added, “But she said, ‘Raj, this won’t work’. She was very blatant, she didn’t give me a chance to impress her. I said, ‘Why won’t it work?’ She said, ‘Main Bombay nahi chhod sakti, main India nahi chhod sakti, aur tum London mein rehte ho (I can’t leave India, or Mumbai, and you live in London)”.

He had further revealed that he called producer Vashu Bhagnani the very next day and told him that he wanted to buy a house in Mumbai. Vashu then told him that there was a property that he could buy in Mumbai. Shilpa’s husband then bought the house without even seeing the property and called his ladylove after 10 minutes and told her, “You were saying you only wanted to live in Mumbai. You probably know where Amitabh Bachchan lives? I’ve bought a house next to his, now let’s talk”.
