The relationship between film stars and legal troubles is quite old. Actress Shilpa Shetty has also not been far away from such controversies, sometimes because of her husband Raj Kundra and sometimes because of her controversial statements. During a TV interview in 2013, Shilpa made a controversial comment about the underprivileged class, for which an FIR was also registered against the actress in Rajasthan and a case was also filed under SC/ST Act.
Now Shilpa Shetty has got relief from the Rajasthan High Court in this case and the court has dismissed the FIR registered in the case. Let us know the matter in detail.
Shilpa got relief from the court
11 years ago, during a TV interview, Shilpa Shetty made casteist and objectionable remarks about the underprivileged community, due to which public outrage erupted among the people of that community and a police case was also registered against the Bollywood actress. Shilpa was accused of hurting the sentiments of the community. According to the news of India Today, now the Rajasthan High Court has dismissed the case during the latest hearing in this matter.
The court order states that no concrete evidence was found against Shilpa Shetty in the FIR registered in the case. Due to which it cannot be said that the actress' intention was to insult the deprived community.
Shilpa's lawyer Prashant Patil has said- The actress had already publicly apologized for this matter and later her statement was presented in a distorted manner. Accepting the argument, the court has canceled the FIR. In this way, the High Court has given a clean chit to Shilpa Shetty and after 2013, she will now get some relief regarding this matter.
Salman Khan was also present
Shilpa Shetty and Salman Khan's friendship is well known. Apart from being co-stars, Shilpa and Salman are known as each other's good friends.
