Raj Kundra reveals Shilpa Shetty suggested they could move abroad when he was in prision

Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra is all set to make his acting debut that depicts his life in the prison. In a recent interview with Indianexpress.com, he shared that his actor-wife suggested they leave India and settle abroad when he was in jail.

Raj: Shilpa suggested we could settle abroad
In the interview Raj shared, “My wife was actually the first person to say, ‘Do you want to live abroad Raj? You left everything in London, you were born and brought up there, you moved here because I wanted to be here. But if you want, I can make things work and let’s leave the country, let’s go abroad.’ I told her that I love India and won’t leave. Log bade bade kaand kar ke, hazarao crore kamake desh se nikal jaata hai (people do big crimes, take thousands of crores and leave country), but I have done nothing so I won’t leave the country,” he told Indianexpress.com in an interview.

He also revealed how he felt being behind the bars and the agony he and his family went through during that time. He said, “I had really broken down, enough to probably end things inside. I won’t use the word, but I was in a… There was so much humiliation, reputational damage. Because of me, media went behind my wife, children and parents. That was painful. I knew what was going on outside."

About 'UT 69'
‘UT 69’ that stars Raj in the lead role releases on November 3. Talking about the film, Raj told ANI, "People are fighting inside to sleep, to eat, so whatever it is, there is no remorse in it. These people will come and talk among themselves and when they come out of jail and there is no reform, they will just go inside crying, so if you have kept someone inside, you give a little facility to that type."
