Controversies
have
been
dogging
Shilpa
Shetty
ever
since
she
entered
films
and
more
so
after
winning
Celebrity
Big
Brothers
show.
The
latest
controversy
is
about
her
alleged
relationship
with
businessman
Raj
Kundra.
Now,
she
has
opened
up
and
broken
the
silence.
She
spoke
to
BBC
Asian
Network
about
her
relationship
with
Raj
Kundra
and
much
more.
Here
is
an
excerpt
from
the
interview:
"The
people
who
made
me
the
person
who
I
am,
I
think
I
owe
them
an
explanation,
not
that
I
really
owe
an
explanation
to
the
Press
because
they've
gone
ahead
and
written
what
they
wanted
and
what
they
wanted
to
do
and
tried
to
tarnish
my
image
but
I
think
I
owe
the
People
an
explanation" says
Shilpa
Shetty.
Has
this
been
a
very
stressful
period? Well
it
has
been
you
know,
because
being
a
celebrity
isn't
easy,
there's
no
denying
that.
When
vested
interests
try
and
tarnish
your
image,
and
it's
pretty
evident
with
the
goings
on
that
there
is
someone
out
who
is
trying
to
bring
me
down.
I
have
God
on
my
side
and
have
great
support
in
my
family.
I'm
someone
who's
always
stood
up
and
spoken
when
things
aren't
right
and
what
according
to
me
aren't
right.
I
wanted
to
keep
quiet,
but
I
felt
that
me
keeping
silent
would
be
misconstrued
as
for
being
weak,
wanting
to
hide
something
and
there
is
no
such
thing.
Do
you
feel
like
a
victim
of
conspiracy? All
that
really
doesn't
matter
to
me,
what
matters
to
me
is
when
people
don't
bother
to
find
out
from
me
and
just
put
it
in
to
make
it
great
news.
I
was
upset
about
that
and
I
really
wonder
how
people
can
take
the
Carte
Blanch
to
do
the
thinking
for
me
that
I
could
do
actually
do
something
like
breaking
someone's
home!
I
come
from
a
country
and
belong
to
a
culture
that
actually
believes
in
and
values
relationships.
And
I'm
a
believer
in
Karma
and
I
wouldn't
do
something
like
that.
What
about
the
headlines
in
India
about
your
alleged
affair
with
Raj
Kundra? I
haven't
even
met
Raj
until
three
months
ago.
So
it's
very
very
silly,
it's
definitely
a
figment
of
their
imagination.
It's
been
really
stressful
for
me
and
my
family.
How
would
you
take
it,
your
sister,
your
daughter,
what
would
you
go
through?
It's
terrible.
