Shilpa Shetty Reacted To Claims Of Marrying Raj Kundra For Pots Of Money, 'There's No Way In Hell..'

Shilpa Shetty married Raj Kundra in 2009, and they have been growing stronger together with each passing day. The duo is blessed with two adorable kids, Viaan Raj Kundra and Samisha Shetty Kundra. When Shilpa decided to tie the knot with Raj, she was severely criticised for running behind his money. The actress, who was among the leading stars back then, broke many hearts and took the wedding vows with Raj, despite the criticism.

Shilpa Shetty reacts to marrying Raj Kundra for money

Once, Shilpa Shetty reacted to the claims that she married businessman, Raj Kundra for the sake of money. In an interview with Zoom, the actress mentioned that she has always been rich and has even become richer now. Reacting to people passing judgment that she married Raj for money, Shilpa sassily remarked that people forgot to Google her name before making these statements. She said:

"Raj, when I married him, was supposed to be some 108th youngest or richest British-Indian, apparently back in the day when you Googled him, which is great. But I think people also forgot to Google Shilpa Shetty I was also very rich back then and I am richer today. When you’re a successful woman, you want to have a man who’s not going to feel insecure."

Speaking along the same lines, Shilpa further mentioned that she focused on Raj's likeable nature and shared that he's a good human being. However, she also added that she would have never got married to him just for money, as there were richer people than Raj, who were wooing her back then. She said:

"So when I married him, coincidentally, he was well placed. He's just likeable, and he's a good human being. And that's the reason I got married. Everything else is all incidental. So, if he had pots of money and he wasn't a good human being, there's no way in hell I would've married him. And saying that, there were people richer than him that were wooing me at that time.”
