Shilpa shared old photos with her father and captured the strong bond between the father-daughter duo. Shilpa Shetty remembers father on his 85th birth anniversary with unseen photos Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]December 22 (ANI): Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty paid a heartfelt tribute to her late father and remembered him on his 85th birth anniversary. On Instagram, Shilpa shared old photos with her father and captured the strong bond between the father-daughter duo. The post also featured a priceless moment showing Shilpa’s father with her son Viaan. She ended the series with a group photo of herself and her sister, Shamita Shetty, with their father. “Cheers to 85, Dad! I hope you’re enjoying your single malt up there,” she wrote in the caption. Shilpa and Shamita’s father passed away in October 2016 after suffering a cardiac arrest. Shilpa Shetty, who married businessman Raj Kundra in November 2009, welcomed her first child, son Viaan, in 2012. The couple welcomed their daughter, Samisha, in February 2020, who was born through surrogacy. The actor has been in the headlines lately for the wrong headlines. After being named in an alleged ₹60-crore fraud case, Shilpa broke her silence with a strongly worded statement, refuting the allegations. “I am deeply saddened by the baseless attempt to link my name to this matter. My association with the company was strictly in a non-executive capacity, with no role in its operations, finances, decision-making, or any signing authority. In fact, like several other public figures, I endorsed certain products for the home shopping channel, in a professional capacity, for which the state is still outstanding,” the statement read. Shetty further alleged that her family had lent a substantial amount to the company, adding that nearly ₹20 crore was extended as a loan and the amount remained “unpaid”. “I wish to place on record that nearly ₹20 crore has been lent to the company by us as a family, and the said amount remains unpaid. The mischievous attempt to impute criminal liability to me, especially after an inexplicable delay of nearly nine years, is legally unsustainable and contrary to settled principles of law,” she said. In August, a case was registered against Shilpa Shetty, her husband Raj Kundra and another individual for allegedly defrauding a businessman of over ₹60 crore. (ANI)
