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.

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.'
