Raj Kundra Recalls 'Darkest Times' In Jail: ‘Friendships Vanished Overnight But Shilpa Stood By Me'
Raj's legal troubles are far from over. While he is currently out on bail, the case is still under trial. Raj Kundra, who was arrested in July 2021 in connection with a pornography case, has opened up about the harrowing two months he spent in Arthur Road jail. Speaking to ETimes, the businessman-turned-actor called it 'the darkest times of my life," admitting it was a phase filled with anger, pain, and intense self-reflection. He said, '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." Raj's legal troubles are far from over. While he is currently out on bail, the case is still under trial. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also attached assets worth nearly Rs 98 crore in a money laundering probe related to the case. Reflecting on the fallout, Raj revealed how that period tested his relationships. 'Some friendships vanished overnight, others got stronger than ever. But the real pain was watching my loved ones suffer because of my headlines," he said. The most emotional part of his revelation was about his family's unwavering support, particularly wife Shilpa Shetty. '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," Raj said. Kundra, who is now making his acting debut in the Punjabi film Mehar, said he's not interested in stardom but in telling meaningful stories. 'I'm not chasing stardom — I'm chasing stories," he added. On Friday, Raj posted a heartfelt video montage on Instagram to celebrate Shilpa Shetty. The video, featuring cherished memories over the years, was accompanied by a romantic note: 'The candles are out, but you still light up my world.… and the joy of celebrating you, will never end… every day with you feels like a celebration of love."

Watch: Man Tries Hottest Curry Made With 72 Chillies, Immediately Regrets It
Last Updated: Bengal Village, an Indian restaurant located in the Brick Lane area of London, offers this dish called 'London's hottest curry.' One dish. Seventy-two chillies. And a growing list of people left sweating, crying, or even throwing up. Bengal Village, an Indian restaurant in London's Brick Lane, is making headlines with what it calls 'London's hottest curry." Famous for its daring food challenges, the restaurant's 'Hottest Curry Challenge" is now drawing fresh attention for just how intense and extreme it really is. A video posted online shows a man named Daniel trying this curry. It begins with the owner of the restaurant, Raj, walking out of the kitchen wearing a gas mask and carrying the dish to Daniel's table. As soon as Daniel takes his first bite of the curry, his reaction makes it clear that the dish is far from ordinary. An overlay text appears on the video, which reads: 'London's hottest curry makes a man leave the restaurant and think about what he just ate." Since being posted online, the video has drawn mixed reactions from social media users. One person wrote, 'Literally gave the guy internal chemical burns." Another commented, 'Daniel's fighting for his life, deep down trying to repent for all his sins." 'Pathetic. Why damage your guts for this nonsense? This is poison," a person said. Someone else wrote, 'Stupid challenge. What is the point of serving something that can literally make people sick?" But what exactly is in this curry that makes it so intense? According to a report in The Standard, the curry served at Bengal Village contains 72 types of chillies from around the world. This includes well-known names like the Carolina Reaper, scotch bonnet, along with several forms of naga chillies and bird's eye chillies. There is also a chilli from Bangladesh known as the snake chilli, and another type mentioned by Raj called pook morich, also referred to as fly chilli. The chefs at Bengal Village wear blue gloves while handling the ingredients to protect their hands from the effects of the chillies. The report also mentioned that this curry is not just difficult to eat, but it can leave a lasting impact. One man who tried it was almost hospitalised. Despite all this, the curry remains on the menu and continues to be ordered by those brave enough to try. It is priced at £21.95 (approximately Rs 2,500).
