Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra and her husband Raj Kundra have been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. The businessman was arrested after he was accused of the creation and distribution of pornographic content and is under police custody as of now. The actress was also interrogated by the Crime Branch if she had any role to play.
Amid the ongoing controversy, Hansal Mehta came out in support of Shilpa Shetty and requested the netizens to allow her some privacy. He tweeted, “If you cannot stand up for her at least leave Shilpa Shetty alone and let the law decide? Allow her some dignity and privacy. It is unfortunate that people in public life ultimately are left to fend for themselves and are proclaimed guilty even before justice is meted out,” one of his tweets read.
The other tweet seems to be hinting at the Bollywood celebrities who have chosen to keep mum over the ongoing controversy. He wrote, “This silence is a pattern. In good times everybody parties together. In bad times there is deafening silence. There is isolation. No matter what the ultimate truth the damage is already done, he added.”

He also called out the tweets that have been maligning her image and passing derogatory comments on her. He had tweeted, “This vilification is a pattern. If the allegations are against a film person there is a rush to invade privacy, to pass sweeping judgement, to character-assassinate, to fill ‘news’ with trashy gossip – all at the cost of individuals and their dignity. This is the cost of silence.”
Stay tuned for more such updates.
