Raj Kundra says ex-wife Kavita had an affair with his ex-brother-in-law, says 'I cried and cried thinking about what I had done to deserve this'

It has been close to a decade that Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty tied the knot. When the dup met, Raj was a man who was going through divorce proceedings with his first wife, Kavita. Kavita had called Shilpa 'the other woman' who was trying to break a family, and a video of the same has resurfaced once again. Now, in a recent interview, Raj has opened up about his first wife and why they sought a divorce. He made a shocking revelation that his ex-wife was having an extramarital affair with his then brother-in-law, Vansh.

Talking to Pinkvilla, Raj said, "She always brought out the worst in me and I think that’s evident from my past pictures and present. My family meant the world to me always but she would always fight and argue with everyone in my family and for her, it was always about her side of the family. We were living in one house with my mum, dad and my sister and her husband had moved over from India to try and settle in the UK. She grew very close to myex-brotherr in law spending more and more time with him especially when I was out on business trips. Many of my family and even my driver would say we sense something fishy between these two and I would never believe it. I gave myex-wifee the benefit of doubt. I did everything I possibly could for both sides of the family because for me my side or her family is family, a principle I still follow today."

He added that his Kavita and he had a daughter and his sister Reema was also expecting a child. But, one day, she found a phone "in her husband's cupboard which had texts from a UK number that spoke about everything from lovey-dovey messages to missing the time they spent and how he is heartbroken that he couldn’t be with her." She also found the phone number to be connected to a tower near Raj's house. That's when Raj tried to look for another phone of Kavita's. He revealed, "I turned it on and it was the same phone and number with multiple messages from Vansh they were speaking and texting daily. I recall how heartbroken I was and how I cried and cried thinking about what I had done to deserve this. I called and told my pregnant sister the phone number was Kavita’s second secret phone and that I was going to drop her at her house and that was the end for me she could decide what she wanted to do."

Talking about his daughter with Kavita, Raj said, "Kavita requested I stay away from our baby and that when needed my daughter would know where to find me. It was not fair on the child I agree but whenever we met we fought like cats and dogs she brought out the worst in me and we both agreed our daughter didn’t need to be exposed to this side of us both. I knew she was financially well provided for but I do miss my daughter and I am sure she doesn’t even know half of the story, god knows what all myex-wifee has fed her brain with. I tried to reach out to my daughter a few times but no one was willing to connect me. I should have tried harder but I guess I just moved on with my life in a new country."

Raj also added, "we have never been in touch after my divorce. I heard she had set up a construction company in the UK with Vansh. I saw their names recently as directors I wish them all the best together."
