The relationship between controversies and legal disputes related to film stars is very old. Senior actor Shilpa Shetty has also not stayed away from such controversies, sometimes because of her husband Raj Kundra and sometimes because of her controversial statements. In 2013, during a TV interview, Shilpa had made controversial remarks about the deprived class, due to which an FIR was registered against the actress in Rajasthan and a case was also registered under the SC/ST Act. Now in this matter the actress has got relief from the Rajasthan High Court and the court has rejected the FIR registered in the case.

Shilpa gets relief from court
11 years ago, during a TV interview, Shilpa Shetty had made casteist and objectionable remarks about the deprived community, due to which there was public anger 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 Rajasthan High Court has dismissed the case during the latest hearing in this matter.
The court order said that no concrete evidence was found against Shilpa Shetty in the FIR registered in the case. For this reason, it cannot be said that the actress’s intention was to insult the deprived community.
Shilpa’s lawyer Prashant Patil said, “In this case, the actress has already publicly apologized and later her statement was distorted. Accepting this 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 in this matter.
