Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra get interim stay from Bombay High Court on ED’s eviction orders to vacate house in Juhu and farmhouse in Pune

10 months ago0

The Bombay High Court has granted Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra interim relief from eviction notices issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The notices were related to their properties in Mumbai’s Juhu area and a farmhouse near Pawna Dam, following a provisional attachment of their assets in connection with an alleged Ponzi scheme involving cryptocurrency.

Shilpa, Raj Get Interim Protection from Eviction
On Thursday, a Bench comprising Justices Revati Mohite Dere and PK Chavan ruled to extend interim protection to the couple while they contest the eviction notices before the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) appellate authority. This decision came after the ED assured the Court that no action would be taken on the notices until the couple files their stay application. The Court clarified that no eviction would be enforced until the appellate authority rules on their appeal.

The couple’s properties were initially attached by the ED following an investigation into a crypto Ponzi scheme, although Shetty and Kundra were not named as accused in the primary investigation. Despite their assets being provisionally attached, the couple contends that the ED’s eviction notices were issued prematurely and violate their rights.
Details of the Legal Dispute
In their petition, Shetty and Kundra, represented by advocate Prashant Patil, described the ED’s eviction notices as “meaningless, reckless, and arbitrary.” They argued that under the PMLA, they had a 45-day period to challenge the provisional attachment order, yet they were served with eviction notices before this window closed.

The couple stated that the assets were acquired through legitimate means and that they are not beneficiaries of any alleged proceeds of crime. They claimed full cooperation throughout the ED’s investigation, with Kundra attending multiple summonses and Shetty providing documentation via her authorised representative.
Court’s Decision and Future Proceedings
The High Court’s interim stay will remain in effect until the PMLA appellate authority in Delhi decides on Shetty and Kundra’s plea. Additionally, the Court ruled that if an adverse ruling is made by the appellate authority, it will not be enforced for another two weeks, giving the couple time to explore further legal remedies.

The ED’s eviction notices were issued following the confirmation of a provisional attachment order on September 18, 2024, connected to an alleged Ponzi scheme involving Amit Bharadwaj. The couple had been served eviction notices on October 3, 2024, demanding that they vacate their properties within ten days.

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra are now awaiting the appellate authority’s decision, which will determine whether the eviction orders will be enforced.

Anees Bazmee reveals two climaxes shot for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: “People will be shocked”

10 months ago0

The recently released trailer of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has left everyone stunned, perfectly justifying its status as the most anticipated film of the year. Not only did the trailer generate immense buzz, but it also set a record by garnering 155 million plus views in just 24 hours, making it the highest-viewed trailer ever. Amidst the growing excitement, some interesting anecdotes have surfaced about the film — from the cast not knowing the ending to director Anees Bazmee shooting two different climaxes for the movie.

In a recent interview with India TV, director Anees Bazmee shared, “People will be shocked, they’ll be like ‘oh my god!’ We have tried to make a good and beautiful film. To ensure that, we shot two climaxes, and even the production members don’t know which ending I’m going to use.”

The trailer showcased the return of Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba, with the OG Manjulika, Vidya Balan, joining the team and clashing with Rooh Baba. The cast also includes Triptii Dimri, Madhuri Dixit, Rajpal Yadav, and more. Regarding the cast, the director shared that they have only seen the film up to the pre-climax. He said, “Only myself and three other team members know the actual ending. We shot two climaxes, and the team wasn’t even aware of why. Initially, we shot the final climax, but later I called the team again and said, ‘Mazza nahi aa raha hai, firse karenge’ (It’s not fun, let’s do it again). The team thought it was necessary, but in reality, it was just to keep the ending a secret from them,”.

Director Anees Bazmee didn’t give the last 15 pages of the script to the actors because he wanted to create an air of mystery not just for the audience, but also for the actors themselves. He allowed only a very limited crew to be present on set while shooting both climaxes.

With Kartik Aaryan reprising the role of Rooh Baba from superhit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, he will be seen with Triptii Dimri, the OG Manjulika, Vidya Balan and her partner in crime, Madhuri Dixit! Directed by Anees Bazmee and initiated by Bhushan Kumar, this much-anticipated release gears up for a grand release this Diwali on November 1, 2024.
