Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra are one of the much-loved couples in Bollywood. The duo has been together for a long time and has been each other’s strong pillars of support. Well, the duo faced an LOC linked to their firm, Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd. Now, Shilpa and Raj have filed a plea in the Bombay High Court seeking permission to travel abroad, as Raj’s father is reportedly unwell. The Mumbai Police had issued a Look Out Circular against them, as the investigation into them has been ongoing, following a Rs. 60 crore fraud case initiated by businessman Deepak Kothari.
Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra seek permission from the court against the LOC
If the reports are to be believed, on December 2, 2025, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra submitted a plea against the Look Out Circular, and following this, they moved to the Bombay High Court, revealing that last month, i.e., on November 10, 2025, Raj Kundra’s father was diagnosed with a chronic and unexplained deficiency of iron ammonia. Reportedly, as per the couple, Raj’s father has been advised to repeat capsule endoscopy or double-balloon endoscopy, as he had medical complications, which even led him to lose blood.
In this state, Raj and Shilpa needed to travel to London to meet his ailing father at the earliest by January 2026, which led them to move their plea to the court. As per the plea, after the family emergency is settled, Raj and Shilpa will return to India as scheduled. The plea can be read as:
“This is not a leisure trip, and the applicants undertake that they will only visit the father of Kundra and come back to India as scheduled, if permitted.”
To mention, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty, back in October 2025, filed a plea for quashing the LOC against them. To this, the court asked them to pay Rs. 60 crore first, if they wanted to travel abroad. For the unversed, a complaint was filed against Raj and Shilpa by Deepak Kothari. The case has been investigated by EOW. Deepak is a businessman from Mumbai who is also the director of Lotus Capital Financial Services.
What is the case around Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra?
As per Deepak from 2015 to 2023, Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty took his Rs. 60 crore for personal usage, which he invested to help the couple to grow their business, Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd, which used to run an online shopping platform and sold lifestyle products. Deepak, in his case, revealed that Kundra and Shetty approached him for a loan of Rs. 75 crore, with a promise of 12 per cent interest.
Later, Raj and Shilpa asked Deepak to treat the money as ‘investment’ rather than a ‘loan’, thereby promising him the repayment and monthly returns. By 2015, Deepak invested a huge sum of money, and later, insolvency proceedings began against Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd for cheating another investor. Deepak claimed that even after multiple efforts, he had failed to recover his money and accused Shilpa and Raj of using his money for personal benefits. In 2016, Shilpa stepped down from the position of director of Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd.
