Ever
since
Shilpa
Shetty's
businessman-husband
Raj
Kundra
got
arrested
in
connection
with
an
adult
film
business
racket,
the
actress
has
been
grabbing
eyeballs
for
all
the
wrong
reasons.
After
getting
trolled
online,
she
has
even
filed
a
defamation
case
against
multiple
publications
and
social
media
platforms
for
publishing
defamatory
content
and
maligning
her
image.
Now,
filmmaker
Hansal
Mehta
has
come
out
in
support
of
Shetty
in
a
series
of
tweet.
The
Aligarh
director
urged
everyone
to
give
the
actress
some
dignity
and
privacy,
stating
that
it's
unfortunate
that
people
in
public
life
are
proclaimed
guilty
even
before
justice
is
meted
out.
He
wrote,
"If
you
cannot
stand
up
for
her
at
least
leave
Shilpa
Shetty
alone
and
let
the
law
decide?
Allow
her
some
dignity
and
privacy.
It
is
unfortunate
that
people
in
public
life
ultimately
are
left
to
fend
for
themselves
and
are
proclaimed
guilty
even
before
justice
is
meted
out."

Mehta
further
slammed
Bollywood
celebrities
for
remaining
mum.
He
said
that
in
good
times
everybody
parties
together
but
there's
deafening
silence
in
bad
times
and
called
it
a
pattern.
"This
silence
is
a
pattern.
In
good
times
everybody
parties
together.
In
bad
times
there
is
deafening
silence.
There
is
isolation.
No
matter
what
the
ultimate
truth
the
damage
is
already
done,"
read
Hansal's
tweet.

In
another
tweet,
he
mentioned,
"This
vilification
is
a
pattern.
If
the
allegations
are
against
a
film
person
there
is
a
rush
to
invade
privacy,
to
pass
sweeping
judgement,
to
character-assassinate,
to
fill
'news'
with
trashy
gossip
-
all
at
the
cost
of
individuals
and
their
dignity.
This
is
the
cost
of
silence."

Meanwhile
on
Friday
(July
30,
2021),
the
Bombay
High
Court
heard
Shilpa's
plea
and
directed
some
media
platforms
to
pull
down
their
content
while
passing
an
interim
order
in
the
matter
stating,
"No
part
of
this
shall
be
constructed
as
a
gag
on
media." The
court
had
also
noted
that
a
blanket
ban
will
have
a
chilling
effect
on
the
media.
Shilpa
Shetty's
husband
Raj
Kundra
was
arrested
by
Mumbai
Crime
Branch
on
July
19
for
allegedly
creating
pornography
films
and
publishing
them
through
some
apps.
He
is
currently
in
judicial
custody.
