The post drew criticism from a viewer, who urged Farah not to allow “controversial personalities” to use her platform. The user wrote, “Mr Kundra has created a controversial image for disrespectfully using Shilpa Shetty image for all wrong reasons! Women should be respected at all levels… Please make all women feel proud by introducing personalities who are respected in society.”
Reacting to it, Farah said that her personal approach to judging people. She wrote, “Unlike you, I don’t judge people by what I read. I decide that after I spend time with them. You should not believe everything written. Lots is exaggerated.”
The YouTube episode itself focused on light-hearted family moments, with Farah, Shilpa, and Raj sharing stories and laughter while cooking. Farah has regularly used the show to bring viewers closer to celebrities’ personal sides, combining casual conversation with culinary activities.
Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra controversy
Mumbai Police issued a Look Out Circular (LoC) against actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra in a Rs 60 crore cheating case, an official told news agency PTI. A case was registered by the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) based on a complaint by Deepak Kothari, who accused Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra of cheating him.
An LoC is an alert issued to immigration authorities to stop or restrict a person under investigation from leaving the country.
The complainant has alleged that the couple defrauded him of over Rs 60 crore, which involved Shetty and Kundra’s now-defunct company, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd. He alleged that between 2015 and 2023, he invested the amount with them under the pretext of business expansion. However, instead of using the funds for business, the money was allegedly diverted towards personal expenses.
Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s lawyer had earlier denied the allegations, saying they were purely civil in nature and had been adjudicated by the NCLT Mumbai on October 4, 2024.
