Raj Kundra on the Ongoing Pornography Case: I am ready to give up my life if I am found guilty

It’s been five years since Raj Kundra has been waiting for justice over the ongoing legal proceedings connected to the pornography case. In 2021, Kundra was accused by the authorities for distributing pornographic content through mobile applications, and was illegally arrested and kept in the Arthur Road Jail for 63 days for a crime he didn’t commit and hasn’t been proven in the Court.

Recently, the actor-businessman revisited the horror of the phase and revealed shutting down all of his businesses after he was arrested and blamed for something he hadn’t done.

“During my dark phase, Shilpa and I decided to shut down our businesses. There were investments in sectors – Rajasthan Royals, Mixed Martial Arts, we had launched a home shopping centre and I had a technology company in the name of my son, Viaan Industries. Nearly 4000 people were earning a living through this,” he shares.

“I was arrested and blamed for something I hadn’t done. It hurt to know that after adding to the growth of India’s startup system, I had to shut down all of it. I was called just for a statement when I was arrested,” he adds.

Even today, Kundra firmly states that he’s ready to face the consequences IF he’s found guilty. “Out of all the accused, I am constantly saying that if I have done something wrong, punish me. Put an end to it once and for all. But, give me a clean chit if I haven’t done anything wrong, and I know I haven’t done. I have been fighting this case for the past five years. I will still say today, I am ready to give up my life if I am found guilty.”

Despite the struggle, Raj Kundra would not want to extract those 63 days out of his life. “Those 63 days in Arthur Road Jail have been the horrors of my life in its entirety. The times were such that I didn’t know if I would be able to see the next morning. I wouldn’t want to change any other chapter of my life. If I hadn’t seen those 63 days, I wouldn’t be the Raj Kundra that I am today. I wouldn’t have known who my people are, and who aren’t,” he concludes.
