Raj Kundra Wipes Off His Instagram Feed, Big Update Awaited?
Raj Kundra knows how to gain the spotlight, and he never fails to make headlines — be it his weird masks, which he wore until the release of his film UT69, or now, another action that has raised eyebrows. Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty's husband and one of the participants of Karan Johar's The Traitors, has wiped off his Instagram feed.
Yes, you read that right — Raj Kundra has deleted all his posts, and now his Instagram has nothing. But is it a PR stunt, or is he taking a break from social media to have a detox? Only time will tell, but it looks like a big announcement is coming soon. To note, Raj is gearing up for the release of his upcoming Punjabi debut film Mehar. The film, directed by Rakesh Mehta and starring Geeta Basra alongside Raj, is all set to release on September 5, 2025.
Interestingly, his move is quite similar to Ranveer Singh's. A day before his 40th birthday, Ranveer wiped off his Instagram feed to zero, and the next day, he dropped the first look from his upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar.
Raj Kundra, who was arrested in July 2021 in connection with a pornography case, recently opened up about the harrowing two months he spent in Arthur Road Jail.
Speaking to ETimes, the businessman-turned-actor called it 'the darkest time of my life," admitting it was a phase filled with anger, pain, and intense self-reflection. He said, 'There was anger, hurt and confusion, but also deep self-reflection. I could've let that chapter define me, but I chose instead to learn from it."
Kundra, who is now making his acting debut in the Punjabi film Mehar, said he's not interested in stardom but in telling meaningful stories. 'I'm not chasing stardom — I'm chasing stories," he added.
Before deleting pictures and videos from his Instagram, Raj had shared a video to celebrate his wife and much-loved actress Shilpa Shetty. The video, featuring cherished memories over the years, was accompanied by a romantic note: 'The candles are out, but you still light up my world… and the joy of celebrating you will never end… every day with you feels like a celebration of love."
Raj Kundra was last seen in Karan Johar-hosted reality show The Traitors. While Raj was the first to be eliminated from the show, Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luthar emerged as winners.
