Monday afternoon was special for those around the Taj Mahal as Shilpa Shetty was there with her beau Raj Kundra to spend an hour cherishing their love. The couple was guarded by their personal security guards as a huge crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of Shilpa. Shilpa and Raj, at present, own a business empire which includes a $16.2 million (10 million pounds) stake in the Rajasthan Royals Twenty20 cricket team and a recently acquired food and beverage company, Gourmet Creations.
Shetty, 34, believes in relishing every moment of her life inspite of problems and controversies cropping up every now and then. She recently became the co-chairwoman of Gourmet Creations after she and fiance Raj Kundra paid 6 million pounds to buy a 33 per cent stake in it.
Now, the former boss of her newly acquired restaurant chain has sued her for 6 million pounds on grounds of unfair dismissal.
Jamal Hirani, 42, founder of fast-food chain ‘Tiffinbites’ alleges that he was forced out by colleagues in a process that led to the firm closing and opening under a new name, the V8 Gourmet Group.
“They manufactured false accusations against me. This ultimately was my company and I have been removed. I understand that since I have left Shilpa Shetty has invested in the business,” said Hirani.
A spokesman for the actress reacted to the controversy by saying, “The case refers to events that happened before Shilpa and Raj joined. She was always aware this tribunal was coming up and hopes for a fair outcome.”
