Coming back to their love story, Shilpa had met Raj for a business meeting where she was promoting a perfume brand and Raj was helping her with the promotions. With time, the two were seen spending a lot of time together which had given fodder to the rumour mills. Raj was a married man before he had met Shilpa. Raj’s earlier marriage to Kavita turned out to be ugly in the love story of Raj and Shilpa and after all the allegations and blame game, the much-in-love couple had decided to tie the knot on November 22, 2009.
In a throwback interview with The Times of India, Shilpa had talked about her equation with Raj and how he is a doting daddy to their son, Viaan Raj Kundra. She had said, “I met Raj at a time in my life where I was riding this wave with the Big Brother success. He lived in London with his parents who had told him about me, ‘Yeh Shilpa Shetty aayee hai aur usne Indians ka naam ooncha kiya hai.’ He came to my hotel and the first thing was that he came and touched my mother’s feet even though he was a Londoner. And that sums up the person he is. He is very respectful and treats my parents like his.” (Also Read: Dipika Kakar And Shoaib Ibrahim Get A Surprise On Their Second Anniversary, Cut A Heart-Shaped Cake)
