Shilpa Shetty's Husband Raj Kundra Offers Kidney To Premanand Maharaj Amid Cheating Case
During their meeting with Maharaj, both Shilpa and Raj sought blessings and listened to his spiritual guidance.
Raj Kundra and his wife Shilpa Shetty were recently seen visiting the revered spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan. Their appearance at the ashram drew attention not just for the couple's devotion, but also because it came at a time when Kundra's name surfaced in reports of allegedly cheating a businessman of Rs 60 crore.
During their meeting with Maharaj, both Shilpa and Raj sought blessings and listened to his spiritual guidance. What surprised many, however, was Raj Kundra's emotional gesture, as he offered one of his kidneys to the guru in light of his health struggles.
Raj Kundra's Emotional Offer to Maharaj
While seated with Premanand Maharaj, the couple shared their concerns and received words of comfort. In the course of their conversation, the spiritual leader revealed that both his kidneys had failed and that he had been living with the condition for nearly a decade.

Raj Kundra immediately expressed his admiration for the guru and made an emotional offer. He said, 'I've been following you for the past two years. I have no questions because your videos always answer any doubts or fears I have. You are an inspiration to everyone. I know about your health condition, and if I can help, one of my kidneys is yours."
This unexpected statement reportedly surprised Shilpa Shetty, but Premanand Maharaj responded with gratitude. He said, 'It's enough for me that you stay happy. Until the call comes, we won't leave this world because of a kidney. But I accept your goodwill from the heart."
Visit Amid Fraud Allegations
While the visit to Maharaj highlighted Kundra's devotion and sincerity, it also coincided with headlines linking him and Shilpa to a massive Rs 60 crore fraud case. According to reports, the businessman involved accused the couple of cheating him, though both Raj and Shilpa have denied the claims. The two issued a statement labeling the allegations as 'baseless" and reaffirmed their faith in truth prevailing.
Premanand Maharaj, known for his devotion to Lord Krishna and Radha, frequently receives visits from celebrities, including Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. His meetings often emphasize compassion, faith, and resilience in times of turmoil—making the Kundras' appearance especially timely.

War 2 (Hindi) Day 2 Box Office: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer shows reasonable 60 percent growth on Independence holiday; Adds Rs 45 crore
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, grew by a reasonable 60 percent on day 2 in Hindi, to add Rs 45 crore net. The two day cume of the movie in Hindi stands at Rs 73 crore, keeping it on track for a Rs 130 crore net weekend. These aren't good numbers but they are decent nonetheless. The trend in the weekdays will be critical for the movie to end with net Hindi collections of over Rs 200 crore. War 2 Adds Decent Rs 45 Crore Net On Independence Day Holiday In Hindi The true value Hindi day 2 of War 2 is around Rs 48 crore net. Due to preference of the Telugu version of the movie over the Hindi version, the collections in the Andhra states for the Hindi version are lower than what they would normally be. War 2's contribution from the Telugu version for the opening day was roughly Rs 20 crore net. The presence of Jr NTR propelled the movie to these numbers. The collections from the dubbed version have come down considerably on day 2 and that was pretty much expected, too. They are pegged at around Rs 10 crore net. The two day India net all language total is a little over Rs 100 crore. War 2's Andhra States Distributor Stands To Lose Big There should be some stability at low levels for the movie on Saturday and Sunday in Telugu. However, for the prices at which the rights of the movie in the Andhra states (all languages) were acquired for, the numbers being put up by the movie are simply not going to be enough. Renegotiations will have to happen, else the distributor will lose a fortune. War 2's Trajectory Indicates A Rs 250 - 300 Crore Net Finish (All Languages) The India net numbers of War 2 are likely to end in the Rs 250 - 300 crore net range unless the weekday drops are too crazy. The overseas numbers are not much to shout about either. A USD 7.5 million extended global weekend, including premieres is probably all that the movie will be able to manage. The hold over the weekdays will be critical if it really needs to hit USD 15 million in its full run. War 2 In Theatres War 2 plays in theatres now. Tickets for the movie can be booked from the box office or from online ticketing applications. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

North India, Karnataka and Kerala follow suit in terms of vital contributions. Coolie Targets Rs 250 Crore At The India Box Office, By The End Of The Extended Weekend Coolie is going to have another couple of strong days at the box office, to propel it to a number of over Rs 250 crore. These collections are coming despite a clash with War 2. If not for the clash, the collections would be probably Rs 30 crore or so, more for the opening weekend. Coolie Will Stand At A Worldwide Gross Of Over Rs 400 Crore After The Extended Weekend Collections of Coolie overseas, continue to be terrific. The film will be standing at over Rs 400 crore worldwide after the extended opening weekend. The hold of the movie after the weekend will be interesting to observe.

Mohammed Shami Called 'Womaniser' By Estranged Wife, Accused Of 'Ignoring' Daughter
Indian cricket team fast bowler Mohammed Shami once again found himself in the headlines for the wrong reasons as he was attacked by his estranged wife Hasin Jahan on social media. Jahan alleged that Shami did not want their daughter Ayra to be admitted to a good school. However, she revealed that their daughter secured a place in an international school. Jahan went on to call Shami a 'womaniser' and further alleged that the pacer prioritised the children of his girlfriends and gave them expensive gifts while completely ignoring Ayra and not paying for her school or education. 'The enemies did not want my daughter to get admission in a good school, but Allah foiled their plans, and she has secured admission to a very good international school," she posted on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Haseen Jahan (@hasinjahanofficial) 'The father of my daughter, despite being a billionaire, is playing with her life because of womanizing, while educating his mistress's children in elite schools. He spends lakhs on business class flights for some mistresses but claims he has no money for his own daughter's education," she added. Earlier, Jahan said that Calcutta High Court directions to the Indian pacer to pay her and daughter a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance is a "victory" for her after "a long battle". Calcutta High Court directed Shami to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance. Jahan will have to be paid Rs 1.50 lakh per month, while the daughter will get Rs 2.50 lakh per month. Jahan, a former model, married Mohammed Shami in 2014. The couple had a daughter in 2015. Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan separated in 2018 after she accused him of domestic violence. "I am thankful to God that I finally got victory after fighting such a long battle... Now I will be able to give my daughter a good education and maintain her life easily... If you see the life Shami leads, the status he maintains, his earnings, this amount is nothing in comparison to that... We had demanded Rs 10 lakhs from the court around seven years ago. Since then, Shami's income and inflation have both increased," Hasin Jahan said. "The status with which he leads his life, my daughter and I also have the right to maintain the same status," she added. Jahan's advocate Imtiaz Ahmed confirmed that Shami will be required to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance to Jahan and said there is a high chance the maintenance might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh.
