Disappointment expressed
'I'd like to clarify the situation...': Kundra
Kundra said, "I'd like to clarify the situation regarding the video circulating online. I had booked this particular restaurant a year in advance to celebrate my wife's birthday."
"Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that our table had been given away to another group due to what they claimed was a double-booking error from the same agent."
"As someone who has also run restaurants, I found the handling of the situation deeply frustrating, especially with my elderly parents...left waiting."
Disheartened
Kundra reveals his and Shetty Kundra's frustration
Kundra said, "What was meant to be a special evening turned unnecessarily stressful, and when we raised our concerns, we were abruptly told to stay quiet, which only added to our disappointment."
He revealed he had been planning this family holiday for over a year and was disheartened when the restaurant's mismanagement ruined it.
He added, "After a year of planning, the lack of accountability or even basic courtesy from the restaurant management was extremely disheartening."

The viral video, reportedly recorded on Monday, showed an argument between the Shetty-Kundra clan and a foreigner who was asking them to allegedly lower their voices.
