One can now say that Raj Kundra is now an actor, not just a businessman. His wife Shilpa Shetty has this opinion as she sees his film '
UT 69
'. Raj was arrested in 2021 on charges of creating
pornographic content
. He spent about two months in Jail and then was granted bail. Raj was booked under sections of the
Indian Penal Code
, the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act and the Information Technology Act.
He's now made a film on his experiences in Jail which released on Friday, November 3.
Post watching the film, Shilpa shared a video of a scene and wrote an emotional note for him. She expressed, "My dearest Cookie, I know I say many things… but, this is something I want you to remember! YOU are special & brave, and I am soooo proud of you ♥️🧿🌈 Many people go through hardships… some become cynical, some bitter, & some even change. What is admirable is how YOU have taken it all in your stride and embraced life’s journey with positivity."
She further spoke about the film and said, "#UT69 celebrates the human spirit and shows how one can turn adversities into strength. You’re a living example of that. We all have our journeys - and you have endured yours with faith and patience 😇 Last but not least, UT69 is entertaining despite dealing with a delicate subject and kudos to @shahnawazali1 for handling this incredible story with a cinematic lens that balances dark humour & gut-wrenching emotions. It’s not an easy task, but you pulled it off. Congratulations to the entire team (most are debutants 😅👏🏽)"
Shilpa also appreciated Raj's acting skills in a fun way. "It’s a slice of your life, @onlyrajkundra, and you have put your life into it. Wishing you all only the very best. As an actor, you are a natural! Unbelievable, considering it’s your first film (I thought I was the only actor at home now I stand corrected)😅 Please watch this beautiful film, out in the theatres today… it’s ALL HEART!♥️"
Raj had earlier shared in an interview that Shilpa has been his constant support when he was in Jail and was even sending letters to him. He also had shared a video and clarified that 'food porn is the only porn he's been involved with.'
