Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is currently vacationing in Croatia with her husband Raj Kundra and family. The trip, which was meant to be a celebration of Shilpa’s 50th birthday, has now landed in controversy after a video of an argument involving her group went viral on social media.
Family Vacation Turns Sour
Alongside Shilpa were her husband Raj, their son Viaan, daughter Samisha, mother Sunanda Shetty, and sister Shamita Shetty. The family had shared glimpses of the birthday bash online, enjoying a luxurious getaway. However, the joyous trip took an unexpected turn.
Viral Video Sparks Debate
A video from Croatia’s Hvar Island started circulating on social media, allegedly showing a verbal dispute between Shilpa’s team and a foreign tourist. Although Shilpa isn’t visible in the clip, many believe her voice can be heard in the background.
According to a post by an Instagram user who claims to have been at the scene, a foreign woman requested Shilpa’s group to lower their voices at a restaurant. Reportedly, Raj Kundra responded rudely, allegedly saying, “You don’t know who we are.” The user noted that they couldn’t capture that part on video as it happened too quickly.
What’s in the Video?
The video shows a commotion outside a restaurant, with people arguing loudly. A woman’s voice can be heard saying, “Don’t talk to us. We don’t want to hear you.” Some believe the voice belongs to Shilpa, while others say it could be her sister Shamita.
“Money Can’t Buy Class” – Social Media Reacts
Netizens had mixed reactions. One user commented, “Whether you’re in India or abroad, you should behave politely. Everyone is paying to enjoy peace, not drama.” Another said, “Money can’t buy class. Just being a star doesn’t mean you can talk loudly in public.”
Supporters Defend Shilpa Shetty
Despite the criticism, many fans came to Shilpa’s defense. One fan wrote, “She’s a good human being. Just because she’s a celebrity doesn’t mean she’s wrong.” Another pointed out that Shilpa isn’t seen in the video, so assumptions shouldn’t be made.
Amid the buzz, Shilpa posted new photos on Instagram, posing by the sea, seemingly unfazed by the ongoing controversy.
