Days after husband Raj Kundra's arrest in the porn case, Bollywood actress and reality TV show judge Shilpa Shetty shared her first social media which is now going viral. 

In her Instagram Story, Shilpa Shetty shared a screenshot of an excerpt from a book that began with a quote by James Thurber which read: "Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness."

Titled 'Looking around', the excerpt that Shilpa Shetty read talked about 'surviving challenges' and 'living today'. It also shed light on the fact that we look forward in fear of the possibility that we might lose a job,  contract a disease, or suffer the death of a loved one, but the place where one needs to be is right here, right now. 

The excerpt read, "We look back at the people who have hurt us with anger, the frustration we've felt, the bad luck we've endured. We look forward in fear of the possibility that we might lose a job,  contract a disease, or suffer the death of a loved one.  

The place one needs to be is right here, right now -- not looking anxious at what has been or what might be, but fully aware of what is. 
 
I take a deep breath, knowing that I'm lucky to be alive. I have survived challenges in the past and will survive challenges in the future. Nothing need distract me from living my life today."

Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Maharashtra on Thursday informed that they have received four emails alleging that businessman and actress Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra, who has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a case relating to the production of pornography, bribed Mumbai Police officials with Rs 25 lakh to evade arrest. 

According to an ACB official, the emails were sent by a Yash Thakur, another person accused in the pornography case. A similar amount was allegedly demanded from him as well. His allegations, however, were vague in nature and forwarded to the Mumbai Police for further action. 

"ACB Maharashtra has confirmed that they received four emails from Yash Thakur in this regard, but his allegations of seeking a bribe from him and allegations against Raj Kundra bribing to evade arrest were quite vague in nature. The mails were forwarded to the Mumbai police for further action on April 30, 2021," the ACB official confirmed.

Earlier, answering media questions about Shilpa Shetty's role in the porn case, during a press conference, Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police, Milind Bharambe had said, "We have not been able to any find any active role (of Shilpa Shetty) yet. We are investigating. We'll appeal to the victims to come forward and contact the Crime Branch Mumbai. We'll take appropriate action."

Kundra, along with 11 others, was arrested by the Mumbai Police Crime Branch on Monday night for his alleged involvement in creating pornographic films and publishing them through some mobile applications. 

According to Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), Milind Bharambe, he had a tie-up with a London-based company that was involved in streaming pornographic content through a mobile app called 'Hotshots'. New actors were allegedly promised roles in web series and asked to do bold and nude scenes in auditions. A case was registered after female actors opposed this and approached the Crime Branch. 

During a detailed investigation, Raj Kundra's company located in Viaan had a tie-up with a London-based company Kenrin that owns mobile application Hotshots. All nude content created in Mumbai was published on Hotshots, which was operated from Mumbai. After complaints, this app was takedown by Google Play Store and iPhone," Bharambe said.
