He said, "There are reports circulating in the print and electronic media that my client, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, allegedly received an amount of ₹15 crore from her husband, Raj Kundra, approximately 10 years ago for a transaction that is reportedly being investigated by the Economic Offences Wing (Mumbai).
