Recently, a case of cheating and fraud was filed against actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra. A businessman accused the couple and an individual named Kaashif Khan for a fraud of 1.51 crore rupees. Soon after the news broke out, Shilpa took to social media to share a clarification about the issue.

The actress wrote, "Woke up to an FIR registered in Raj and my name! Shocked!! To set the record straight, SFL Fitness, a venture run by Kashiff Khan. He had taken naming rights of brand SFL to open SFL Fitness Gyms around the country. All deals were struck by him and he was signatory in banking and day-to-day affairs. We are not aware of any of his transactions not have we received a single rupee from him for the same. All franchisee's dealt directly with Kashiff. The company closed in 2014 and was entirely handled by Kashiff Khan."

Further in her statement, Shilpa talked about how taxing the whole affair has been for her. She wrote, "I have worked very hard over the last 28 years and it pains me to see that my name and reputation is getting damaged and dragged so loosely to get eyeballs. My rights as a law-abiding proud citizen in India should be protected. With gratitude, Shilpa Shetty Kundra."
