The
Bombay
High
Court
on
Monday,
September
20,
expressed
concern
about
the
media
reports
about
Shilpa
Shetty's
kids
after
Raj
Kundra's
arrest.
For
the
unversed,
businessman
and
Shilpa
Shetty's
husband,
Raj
Kundra
was
arrest
in
July
2021,
in
connection
with
the
production
and
distribution
of
pornographic
movies.
Soon
after,
Shilpa
Shetty
had
filed
a
suit
against
the
alleged
defamatory
articles
and
videos
published
against
her
and
her
family.
The
actress
sought
that
media
be
restrained
from
publishing
"incorrect,
false,
malicious
and
defamatory"
content.
Shetty's
counsel,
Abhinav
Chandrachud,
revealed
to
the
court
that
most
of
the
defendants
(media
outlets
and
private
persons
running
blogs
and
vlogs),
have
agreed
to
remove
objectionable
posts.
Justice
Gautam
Patel
during
the
hearing
on
Monday
asked
the
plaintiff
to
segregate
the
defendants
into
two
categories
-
private
vloggers
and
bloggers,
and
traditional
media
outlets.
"Traditional
media
will
understand
rationale
and
competent
advice.
We
cannot
say
the
same
about
these
private
vloggers
and
bloggers," Justice
Patel
said.
The
court
also
questioned
why
Shilpa
was
in
rush
for
the
hearing,
"You
(Shetty)
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
a
permanent
injunction
(against
media
reports),
then
why
are
you
in
a
rush?
This
matter
pertaining
to
Raj
Kundra
is
going
to
go
on
for
some
more
time," Justice
Patel
said.
"I
am
not
concerned
about
Shilpa
Shetty...she
will
handle
herself.
I
am
more
concerned
about
her
minor
children.
Media
reports
on
Shetty's
personal
life
with
her
children
are
of
concern...in
such
matters,
it
is
the
children
who
are
in
the
centre,"
Justice
Patel
added.
Back
in
July,
Justice
Patel
had
said
that
the
court
cannot
pass
a
blanket
gag
order
on
the
media
on
reporting
anything
against
Shetty
but
had
directed
for
three
videos
uploaded
on
YouTube
to
be
deleted.
According
to
reports,
the
bench
has
posted
the
matter
for
further
hearing
on
October
1,
2021
