Amidst this, Shilpa Shetty’s statement in the case has come to light where she seems to have defended her husband and claimed that the videos on his app were ‘not porn but erotica’.

According to a report by Mid-Day, a police officer said, “She (Shilpa Shetty) said that the movies available on Hotshot are not pornography but erotica. She also said that nowadays, similar content is available on the various OTT platforms and in fact, some are more obscene than what is available on Hotshot.”

The report further said that both Shilpa and her husband Raj have denied being involved in the production of such videos. Raj also said that everything was handled by his brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi in London and he also said that they have only chatted on Whatsapp. But, it is said that the police is not relying much on Raj’s statement. The officer also told the daily, “We have enough evidence that he was dealing with everything, his brother-in-law was made owner of the London-based company just for namesake.”

Meanwhile, Raj Kundra has been charged under Sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292 and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
