Shilpa Shetty’s husband, businessman Raj Kundra was sentenced to jail for two months in 2021 in connection with a pornography case. Now, Raj has turned that incident in his life into a movie in which he will be playing himself. As Raj gears up for his acting debut, he was asked in a recent interview if he would work alongside his wife Shilpa Shetty.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Raj said, “I’m a newcomer. These A-listers won’t work with me.” In an earlier interaction with the media, Raj had also revealed Shilpa’s reaction when he first told her about his acting debut. Raj revealed that Shilpa said, “Tu acting kar lega?”
Raj also told Pinkvilla that he attended Padmini Kolahpure’s acting school in London when he was 18 years old. Raj added that when he showed Padmini his film’s trailer, she told him that she always believed in his acting abilities and doesn’t think it’s too late for him to make his mark in the Hindi film industry.
Raj’s film UT69 will be released in cinemas on November 3, 2023. Although the businessman is now gearing up for his debut, a long time ago he had said that he was “unaffordable” for Bollywood since his income is greater than Salman Khan’s income. During a press conference for a gold firm nearly 10 years ago, Raj said, “I can bet Salman doesn’t earn that much… well, at least nowhere near me. I am in for making films only because my wife has been part of this industry.” He added that he doesn’t think that it’s fun to be like Salman and felt that there is a lot at stake for actors in Bollywood.
This statement had resulted in an uproar from Salman’s fans who were quite angry with Raj. This led to Raj having to issue a public apology statement.
