They say that if you are destined to meet your partner, nothing in this world can keep you apart from him/her and this saying truly implies the love story of Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra. Starting from a casual business meeting to sharing a business together, the couple has come a long way as a couple. The couple never held each other’s hand even when Raj was behind the bars for the pornography case. Raj and Shilpa have today managed to become the most celebrated and richest couple in the Bollywood industry.
The love story of the couple started on a business acquaintance. It is said that Raj met Shilpa and helped her promote a perfume brand S2. The public appearance of the couple made tabloids speculate their relationship but neither of them ever confirmed it.
After meeting Raj, Shilpa had discussed him with her friend and was disappointed as her friend had told her about his marriage.
In 2007, the actress confirmed dating ‘special someone’ but she never revealed who. But her meetings and PDAs with Raj made it quite clear.
Well, Raj Kundra had done everything to impress Shilpa and had given her some oh-so-expensive gifts. In the conversation with Pinkvilla, Shilpa had recalled how she had fallen in love with Raj and how he had tried to impress her with expensive gifts.
Not just did he give her grand gifts but also treated her with the grand proposal. The businessman proposed to her with a ‘just 5-carat’ ring.
But the twist came in the story when Raj’s first marriage with Kavita came out. Kavita accused Shilpa of being a marriage breaker. She had said that it was because of Shilpa that Raj had left her and their newborn daughter.
Shilpa was very disturbed by these comments, but she cleared her name and reputation by issuing a statement that read."My understanding is that Raj and Kavita’s marriage was over a year ago and they have filed for divorce and have been living separately for over a year.
After all the drama surrounding Raj Kundra’s ex-wife, and other speculations and controversies such as Shilpa getting pregnant before marriage, the much-in-love couple, Shilpa and Raj had finally decided to tie the knot.
Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra had tied the knot on November 22, 2009. Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra were 34 when the couple had decided to get married and the age difference between them is of 3 months only.
The couple was blessed with their first child, Viaan Raj Kundra in May 2012. Later, they opted for surrogacy to welcome their second baby since the actress suffered miscarriages before. They were blessed with a baby girl, Samisha in February 2020.
