Actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra's husband, businessman Raj Kundra's name is being used in fraud cases. According to reports, a 73-year-old man was scammed by a caller claiming to be an Uttar Pradesh police officer. The caller alleged that the man was involved in the ‘Raj Kundra money laundering fraud’, and got him to pay ₹25 lakhs. He later realised what was up, and filed an FIR at the Cyber Crime station in Pune.

Kundra's lawyer Prashant Patil says, “There are reports in public domain about certain alleged cyber crime scamsters using my client Raj Kundra’s so called ongoing investigation. These Cyber criminals are duping people posing themselves as police officers from other states of India . My client makes a public appeal that any innocent person who has been scammed by such fake imposters should immediately report to the crime branch and file a criminal complaint against such imposters. It’s upon the Law enforcement agencies to immediately take cognisance of such cyber crimes and immediately arrest such individuals who are allegedly responsible for this scam.”

He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
