Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra are facing allegations of defrauding an individual of ₹60 crore. In light of these accusations, Shilpa announced the closure of their Mumbai restaurant, Bastian Bandra, with its final day of operation being Thursday. She expressed online that the restaurant had created many cherished memories and that a farewell event will take place on its last night. The Thursday celebration will be relocated to another venue known as Bastian At The Top. Originally opened in 2016, the restaurant relocated to Bandra in 2023 and had received positive feedback for its food and ambiance. A complainant, Deepak Kothari, claims that Shilpa and Raj misused his funds for personal gain.
Their legal representative has stated that the allegations are false and that the matter is already being addressed in court.
