Raj Kundra expressed that it was unfair that his wife Shilpa Shetty and kids had to bear the brunt of this case. “It all happened because I am married to a celebrity. If I was not, I don’t think half of this damage would have been done. I feel they weren’t getting at me, but my wife and kids. You attack me, no issues, but she was collateral damage.”
