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.

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.

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.'

‘Scientific reason' why Sachin Tendulkar should not be Reddit's brand ambassador: Rohan Joshi's video goes viral
Reddit has announced Sachin Tendulkar as its brand ambassador. The Indian cricket legend will use his official profile to share match thoughts, personal stories and special content. However, as per comedian Rohan Joshi, it's a bad idea. His hilarious explanation of why Sachin Tendulkar is the wrong choice as Reddit's brand ambassador has now gone viral. In an Instagram Reel that has not gained over 1.2 million views, Joshi says Sachin is a legend and deserves all the love, but he's the wrong pick for Reddit. 'He is an icon, obviously one of the greatest people to have ever played the game of cricket and one of the greatest Indian sporting legends of all time. But, l am sorry he can not be the brand ambassador for Reddit for one very simple scientific reason,' Rohan Joshi says in the viral Instagram Reel. Sachin played 664 international matches over 24 years, which means he spent around 200 days a year outdoors 'touching grass'. According to Rohan Joshi, Reddit users are known for staying indoors. So, someone as active as Sachin is the complete opposite. 'No one who has gone outside and touched that much grass is allowed to endorse Reddit, just antithetical to its values,' Rohan Joshi concluded with, 'Love you, Sachin.' Rohal Joshi's video attracted funny reactions. Fellow comedian Tanmay Bhat wrote, 'BRB, filing FIR on you.' 'I Completely agree with you hence I think the best candidate for this position who meets all the requirements is Rohan Joshi, my vote is with him,' quipped one user. Another user wrote, 'You really miss Mumbai Police, don't you?' 'Great move Rohan, AIB members talking about Sachin always ends well,' wrote another while hinting at Tanmay Bhat's controversy. In May 2016, the Mumbai Police was asked to investigate Bhat after BJP leader Ashish Shelar accused Bhat of insulting Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar in a Facebook video. In the clip, Bhat – the face of now-dissolved comedy group AIB – used face-swap effects to act like both stars and joked about Virat Kohli being better than Tendulkar. His portrayal of Tendulkar also made fun of Lata's age, calling her '5,000 years old'.
