Last year, during the lockdown, fans discovered the entertaining side of Raj after he featured in several of Shilpa’s TikTok videos. Self-proclaimed critic and actor Kamaal R Khan remarked that he was taking full advantage of having a ‘heroine wife’, to which he humbly responded that it was their duty to keep the audience entertained amid the lockdown.
