Businessman Raj Kundra, husband to Shilpa Shetty, has once again attracted attention of netizens. While he has been making headlines for his upcoming film 'UT 69', he has now grabbed attention for his cryptic post on X. 


Without giving much context, Raj Kundra tweeted on Thursday night, "We have separated and kindly request you to give us time during this difficult period." While some thought it was hinted at his relationship with his wife, some figured it to be a promotional gimmick.



Reacting to the post, a user commented., "Separate means? Divorce?”. Another user wrote, "“Sad it’s shocking news indeed."

However, some refused to buy the relationship angle and called it a "publicity stunt". "Must be talking about his masks," wrote another. 

Raj Kundra has been tagged as the mask man owing to his public appearances wearing funky, stylised masks. However, he recently decided to remove the mask and put that phase behind him. He removed the mask at the trailer launch event of his biographical drama 'UT 69'  in which he plays himself. On Thursday morning, he was also spotted at the Mumbai airport for the first time without a mask. "Feels good, fresh air," he was heard telling the paparazzi as he took a deep breath. 

At the trailer launch event, he also removed his mask and spoke to the media about the events that led to the making of the film. "The film is about my 63 days in the jail, from the day I entered that red gate to the day I came out. If Shilpa and I believed that if there was even an ounce of truth in the allegations and if I was guilty then I would have my head hanging in shame. But I came out like a lion because I knew I had done no wrong. The matter is subjudice, we have full faith in the judiciary.”

Talking about how UT 69 is a satirical comedy based on true events in his life, Raj said, “When you bring a British citizen to the jail, everything becomes funny — the way you’re given your food, watered down dal, the place to stay, it was tough. Even when I was writing it, I was wondering how did we reach here.”
