Social media reaction
Fans offer prayers for Sunanda's speedy recovery
The video rapidly gained attention, leading fans to share their worries and offer words of encouragement. One fan expressed, "Get well soon," while another wrote, "God bless her." A third supporter added, "Prayers for Shilpa's mom's speedy recovery." So far, Shilpa and her family have not released any official updates about Sunanda Shetty's health. But a NDTV report stated that Sunanda was hospitalized late last night due to "age-related issues."
Legal troubles
Sunanda admitted after Shetty's travel request withdrawal
Notably, Sunanda was admitted to the hospital shortly after Shetty decided to withdraw her request for permission to travel overseas. This move came after the Bombay High Court refused to suspend a Look Out Circular targeting her and her husband, entrepreneur Raj Kundra, related to a ₹60 crore fraud case.
Court ruling
What did the court say?
On October 8, the Bombay High Court said they would only consider lifting the Look Out Circular and allowing travel abroad if the disputed ₹60 crore was paid. The LOC was issued by the Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing, so the couple asked for temporary relief. Later, Shetty's lawyer told the court that she decided not to travel for now.
Career highlights
On the work front
Professionally, the veteran actor was last seen judging a dance reality show, while Kundra was seen on the reality show The Traitors. A few days before this, Shetty shared happy moments from her Diwali celebration with her sister Shamita Shetty and husband, dressed in traditional attire and surrounded by lights and decorations.
