Actor Shilpa Shetty broke down on Friday when the crime branch officials reach her Juhu house with her husband Raj Kundra to record her statement in the case involving the production of pornographic content. Shetty also shouted at Kundra, officials said.
She claimed to have no connection with the controversial app HotShots — where allegedly the porn videos were being produced and distributed.
During the six hours of questioning, Shilpa Shetty told her husband that the case is portraying the family in a bad light and that several endorsements have backed off in the wake of the issue, officials present at her residence said.
However, Kundra told Shetty that he was innocent and did not make porn but erotica.
She had told police that she was unaware of the exact nature of the content on the mobile app via which Raj Kundra is accused of streaming pornographic content. She also underlined the difference between porn and erotica and said her husband was not involved in producing pornographic content.
