Actor Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband, Raj Kundra, recently made headlines after news of their alleged financial fraud surfaced. Meanwhile, a video of the couple from their visit to Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan went viral, in which Raj is seen offering his kidney to the spiritual leader, leaving everyone, including Shilpa, shocked. The video attracted flak from netizens who termed it a ‘PR stunt’. Raj has now addressed the criticism on social media.
Raj Kundra responds to criticism
Raj shared a note on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), stating that it’s strange how his gesture of offering a kidney was mocked as a stunt. He wrote, “Strange world we live in when someone chooses to offer a part of themselves to save another’s life, it’s mocked as a PR stunt. If compassion is a stunt, may the world see more of it. If humanity is a strategy, may more people adopt it. I’m not defined by labels the media or trolls throw at me.”

The businessman also shared a philosophical thought that his past can cancel his present, writing, “My past does not cancel my present choices, and my present intentions are not for you to measure with your cynicism. Judge less, love more you might just save a life too. #RadheRadhe #HumanityFirst #LetGoodnessLive.”
Raj Kundra's viral video
In the video that surfaced on Friday, Shilpa and Raj are seen attentively listening to Premanand Maharaj as he shares that both his kidneys have failed and he's been living with the condition for 10 years. He revealed he was unafraid that God's call could come at any moment.
On hearing this, Raj made an emotional statement which came as a surprise to everyone, including his wife Shilpa. Raj can be heard saying, "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."
Premanand Maharaj was touched by his words as he expressed his gratitude to Raj before declining the offer. He replied, "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."
