Raj Kundra: Shilpa stood by me even when it would've been easier to walk away

Recently evicted from The Traitors, , at a press meet for the reality show, laughed about playing the 'nepo-husband' card. Married to actress , Raj appeared completely at ease with his wife's celeb status. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to Bombay Times about the male ego and power dynamics in celebrity relationships, Raj said, 'I say it with pride — Shilpa's success is our success. I've never been insecure about her spotlight. If anything, it inspires me. Real strength in a man comes from being secure enough to lift others — especially your partner — without feeling smaller in the process. That's not ego-less, that's evolved love.' 'There was anger, hurt and confusion, but also deep self-reflection' Over the last few years, Raj has faced legal and public scrutiny. In July 2021, he was arrested by the Mumbai Police for allegedly producing and distributing adult content via an app. He spent 63 days in Arthur Road Jail before being granted bail in September 2021. Reflecting on that period, he shared, 'Those were some of the darkest times of my life. There was anger, hurt and confusion, but also deep self-reflection. I could've let that chapter define me, but I chose instead to learn from it. The truth has its own timeline, and I've made peace with that. My focus now is to move forward with clarity, creativity and courage.' Raj Kundra 'My kids gave me reason to smile when I felt like disappearing' Raj's legal battle is far from over. While he remains out on bail, the case is still under trial. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also investigating him for alleged money laundering and has reportedly attached assets worth nearly Rs 98 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Such a phase, he says, tests every bond in his life. 'Some friendships vanished overnight, others got stronger than ever. But the real pain was watching my loved ones suffer because of my headlines. That guilt stays with you. And yet, the love they gave me during that storm is what saved me. You realise who your tribe is, and you never take them for granted again,' he said, adding, 'Shilpa stood by me with grace and resilience, even when it would've been easier to walk away. My kids gave me reason to smile when I felt like disappearing. That kind of unconditional support rewires your soul.' The businessman, who is also dabbling in acting, will be seen in the Punjabi film Mehar. Talking about wanting to be a part of compelling content, he said, 'I'm not chasing stardom — I'm chasing stories.'

Sudhanshu Pandey On KJo's The Traitors: ‘No Phone, No WiFi, It Was Peaceful'

Last Updated: Sudhanshu Pandey shared that the experience in The Traitors was meditative, as there were no phones, no internet and just one TV. Sudhanshu Pandey has stayed away from television since he exited Anupamaa. After leaving the daily soap, he wanted to try something different. Now, he's back in action as a contestant on The Traitors, a reality show hosted by Karan Johar, where he's competing with 19 others. At first, the show may seem like something out of his comfort zone, but Sudhanshu actually found it very peaceful. He shared that the experience was 'meditative," as there were no phones, no internet and just one TV. This gave him a chance to observe others closely and think more about human nature. In a recent conversation with ETimes, the actor speaking about the experience on the show and what he's learnt so far, he said, 'It was a very meditative space to be in because we would play the whole day and then go back to our rooms at night and be just completely by yourself. There was only one TV, there was no internet, there was nothing, there was no phone, there was no WiFi. So you were completely disconnected." 'I was observing everybody there and how they behave. They were splitting their personality every other second. You realise, there are all sorts of people there. So, it makes you sit and observe the kind of people around you or what kind of people are they growing into. It was a great observation class for me and a great vacation, I would say," Sudhanshu Pandey explained. The Anupama star feels that for Karan Johar, hosting The Traitors must have been tough for him. Since the filmmaker enjoys talking and connecting with people, staying silent and serious for a show like this was not easy for him. He had to hold back his usual energy and remain calm. Sudhanshu also spoke about why he doesn't expect to have fights with anyone on the show. He explained that he always treats people with respect, and because of that, he usually gets the same respect back. Sudhanshu Pandey further explained that he didn't plan any special strategy for the show. He decided to just be himself and act naturally, without pretending or showing any fake image. For him, a reality show is meant to show the true side of a person. Since he has been in the industry for many years, he feels this is a good chance for the audience to see his real side. He wants people to connect with the real version of him. Other than Sudhansu Pandey, The Traitors also feature Anshula Kapoor, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Nourouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvi Gaur, Jasmine Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Lakshmi Manchu, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia, Sufi Motiwala and Uorfi Javed.

Exclusive - Sudhanshu Pandey breaks silence on Harsh Gujral's below the belt comments linking him to Elnaaz Norouzi in 'The Traitors'

Anupamaa fame actor Sudhanshu Pandey finally addressed the uncomfortable comment made by comedian Harsh Gujral on the reality show The Traitors. Fans, who had been urging Sudhanshu to speak up, raised the topic during the live chat, asking how he felt about Harsh's loose statement suggesting Sudhanshu was 'going gaga over Elnaaz Norouzi' and that he "needed to be controlled. " The remark, which many found cheap and disrespectful, did not sit well with audiences, especially those who have admired Sudhanshu Pandey's dignified and graceful conduct throughout the show. Sudhanshu, known for his calm and composed personality, responded in a subtle but firm manner. He expressed genuine disappointment at Harsh Gujral's choice of words and how the incident personally affected him and his family. While talking to Times of India TV, Sudhanshu said, "Humour should never come at the cost of someone's dignity. When I heard what Harsh Gujral said about me, I was sitting with my family, watching the show together. It became an extremely awkward and uncomfortable moment for all of us, especially for my kids. Some things cannot be brushed off as a joke." He further said, "Words carry weight, especially when said on public platforms. I genuinely believe people like Harsh Gujral, who come from the comedy space, should think very carefully before making such loose comments about anyone, let alone a senior actor. I have always chosen to play my game and live my life with dignity, grace, and respect, and I sincerely hope people realise that some lines should never be crossed in the name of humour - never!" Throughout "The Traitors", Sudhanshu Pandey has won over fans for his powerful game play. Unlike others who get caught in controversies, he has kept his game clean, sharp, and respectful, staying away from dirty tactics and drama. Fans continue to applaud Sudhanshu Pandey for handling this situation with maturity. His subtle strength, pure strategy, and classy approach have earned him respect on the show.
