Sherlyn Chopra sends notice to Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty asking for Rs 75 crore for mental harassment
By MYBRANDBOOK
Following the Rs 50 crore defamation suit that was filed by businessman Raj Kundra and his wife, actress Shilpa Shetty against Sherlyn Chopra for 'fake' allegations, Chopra has said that she will not get scared.
Sherlyn, according to sources, said that the duo has threatened her with the underworld and sent a defamation notice but she will not get scared.
"I request the police to record my statement so that cognizance can be taken of my complaint. I've sent a reply notice asking for Rs 75 crore for mental harassment," she added.
According to a report in India Today, Sherlyn's lawyer, Suhail Shariff, said in a statement, "Unfortunately, a defamation suit is used as a weapon to stifle the pursuit of justice and free speech. It is used as a tool that can enable the accused to turn the tables and make a culprit out of a victim. A defamation suit falls under the category of what is globally known as SLAPP (strategic law against public participation) suits. A SLAPP suit is intended to censor, intimidate and silence a party from speaking freely and fearlessly by burdening them with the stress and cost of a legal defence until they abandon their criticism or opposition."
The statement also features an excerpt from Sherlyn's reply to the legal notice. It reads, "A woman cannot be punished for raising voice against the abuse and exploitation faced by her since a right to reputation cannot be protected at the cost of women’s dignity."
She alleged that "Raj Kundra’s notice is an instrument for obfuscating the main issue and distracting from the entire controversy at hand".
It all started when on October 14, Sherlyn filed a complaint against Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty, alleging that on March 27, 2019, Kundra had visited her house late at night and had sexually assaulted her. Then on March 29, she said that she had to do a photoshoot under pressure. Sherlyn then alleged that for the next 10 months Raj Kundra pursued her to associate with his other firm JL Stream and was asked to upload fitness-related content.
On October 19, Raj and Shilpa's lawyers had filed a defamation suit against Sherlyn of Rs 50 crore, claiming that the allegations put on them are 'concocted, false, fake, frivolous, baseless, without any evidence.' The notice further claimed that the allegations were made by Sherlyn 'with an ulterior motive to defame and extort money,' while also stating that Shilpa is not involved in the working affairs of the JL Stream App.
Raj Kundra was arrested by police on July 19 along with 11 other people on charges related to the alleged creation of pornographic films. Raj was granted bail on September 20 by a Mumbai Court in the pornography case on a surety of Rs 50,000.
