Raj Kundra's Controversies: IPL Betting, Gold Scam, Porn Films and More
Raj Kundra is a rich businessman who's known for his flamboyant lifestyle. But he is also popular because he's the husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. The Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police arrested Raj Kundra yesterday for making porn films and distributing them on an app. The issue has opened up a pandora's box for Raj Kundra.
But let me tell you, this is not the first time that Shilpa Shetty's husband has landed in a controversy.
Bitcoins
