00:00It's my controversy and you're involving my wife's name. Why?
00:04Because you get a clickbait that if you put Shilpa Shetty's husband, you'll get more views.
00:10I just find it very insulting and humiliating that the person who hasn't said anything for 2-3 years,
00:16the media has hyped him so much that there are trollers and trial by media.
00:21But the fact that they unnecessarily sensationalize the news,
00:25and make it breaking news, and don't check the facts, makes me a little sad.
00:55In everything, when Shilpa's name comes up, when you have a news and Shilpa Shetty's name comes up,
01:05along with it, Shilpa's husband, Shilpa's big headlines, at that time, how do you deal with that?
01:11What do you have to say to the media, if you, in your opinion, have to say anything?
01:17Shilpa has earned such a big name here. She has worked so hard in her life here in India.
01:23It's so unfair that the controversy is mine, and you're involving my wife's name. Why?
01:31Because you get a clickbait that if you put Shilpa Shetty's husband, you'll get more views.
01:37It will go viral. But why are you spoiling the next person's reputation?
01:41You don't have anything to do with them. Why are you spoiling their reputation by putting their name in between?
01:47Either they have some genuine involvement or something, but just because I'm a husband,
01:51you can come at me. I've been here for 15 years, from an IPL team owner to a businessman that's done many verticals.
01:59I've made a lot of investments in India. So, I don't think that I'm not known.
02:04So, without putting Shilpa Shetty's husband's name, to increase your views,
02:09I think it's very wrong to bring in a person and try spoiling their reputation, their work.
02:14So, I think it's very wrong, and that's why I said recently that if you have anything to say,
02:18you can say it about me, but don't get on to my family, unnecessarily.
02:22The hard work, the recognition they've earned, the work they've done towards India,
02:30the government services, Swachh Bharat, Fitness India, so much she's done.
02:34You can't take that away from someone just by adding her name to one of my controversies.
02:39I found that very unfair. So, that's why I made a statement recently.
02:43So, there are all kinds of faces, good and bad. A family is a person's weakness and strength.
02:50After going home, did anyone question you, when there was so much news?
02:57Naturally, sir. I mean, media is a very powerful tool.
03:01And if you're sitting in front of the TV, sometimes you think that I'm sitting in front of the TV,
03:06and I'm getting some controversy, and I started believing it myself.
03:10So, if I'm believing it myself, watching TV, then imagine my family, my wife, my mother-in-law,
03:16baseless allegations, not factual. You're repeating the same thing again and again,
03:23and you put a question mark. The public doesn't know what that question mark is,
03:27but you've saved yourself. But because of that question mark, we've lost our reputation.
03:32So, it is disturbing. Luckily, my wife has been very supportive.
03:37She knows me. She knows what Raj can do and what he can't do.
03:42She's been very supportive, and she's been standing by my side.
03:46And family has also been very supportive, because they know.
03:49Those who know me, they know that Raj is a family man.
03:53Outside my family, I have a very small friend circle.
03:57I'm not a socialite. You won't find me at these parties.
04:01We live a very simple life. And I just find it very insulting and humiliating
04:06that the person who hasn't said anything for the last 2-3 years,
04:09the media has hyped him up so much that there are trollers and trial-by-media.
04:15I didn't feel so much pain because of the cases and because of going into the legal system
04:21as much as I was affected by trial-by-media.
04:23The media is doing its job. The news that comes, they have to report it.
04:27But those who unnecessarily sensationalize the news and turn it into breaking news
04:33and don't fact-check it, I feel a little sad about that.
