Shetty took to social media July 23 to make her first post after her husband's arrest, sharing an Instagram story with a quote that read: "The place we need to be is right here, right now. Not looking anxiously at what has been or what might be but fully aware of what is."

Kundra was allegedly involved with the porn racket case via links through the Hotshots app, which is at the centre of the controversy. He was head of Armsprime Media Private Limited - the firm behind Hotshots - but claims to have sold the app in 2019 to UK-based company Kenrin.

Investigating officers are probing Kundra's continued role in porn production through his India-based Viaan Industries office.
