Shilpa Shetty was on a hiatus ever since the news of Raj Kundra's arrest for alleged connection with a pornography racket came into the limelight. Kundra has been accused of sending adult content via apps and is in judicial custody at the moment.

Shilpa's movie Hungama 2 was also recently released. However, the film too was not well-received. She was also on a social media break and hadn't posted anything for a while.

Recently though, Shilpa took to Instagram on the occasion of Independence Day. The post included the tricolour flag, with the chakra rotating. She captioned the graphic, "Wishing all my fellow Indians around the world a very Happy Independence Day. #HappyIndependenceDay #74YearsOfIndependence #75thIndependenceDay #SwatantrataDiwas #JaiHind.”

The actress has finally been able to make her first public appearance after Raj Kundra's case. She was a part of the Covid-19 fundraiser, named We For India, on Independence Day. In the video, Shilpa can be seen showing breathing exercises.

She is heard saying, "Hum aise Waqt mein jee rahe hai jahaan pe breathing ya saans lene par sab Kuch nirbhar hai. Breathing hi hai jiske zariye hum humare poore system ko protect kar sakte hai. Agar aapka nasal passage cleanse ho jaata hai to aapke brain cells tak oxygen achchi tarah se pooch payega our aapki immunity better ho jayegi."

When translated in English, it means, "Everything is dependent on the way we breathe. With breathing, we are trying to protect our whole system. If our nasal passage is cleansed, oxygen can reach the brain cells properly, and immunity gets better"

In the video, she also talks about the benefits of doing yoga. She said, "Mushkil Waqt mein negative thoughts ka aana swabhavik hai. Lekin uspe control key liye prana par Ayam hona bohot zaroori hai. That is why positive rehne ke liye apni breathing ko Sahi Karne ke liye, Aaj ke time mein pranayam Pehle se bhi zyada zaroori ho Gaya hai."

"During bad times, negative thoughts are bound to come. But to control that, one needs to do Pranayam. So it has become an integral part to stay positive and improve breathing."

She also talks about taking preventive measures amid covid-19. "I hope that these pranayamas will help you in your daily life and in your immunity and health,” said Shilpa.

The actress hasn't given her statement yet on Raj Kundra's case. But she took to social media and said, "There have been a lot of rumours and accusations. A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well-wishers as well. A lot of trolling/questions posed…. not only to me but also to my family.”

She also appealed to everyone to let everything take its own time. She added, "We don’t deserve a media trial.” Shilpa also said she has not commented yet and will not do so as it is subjudice. She urged the media to stop giving false quotes on her behalf.
