Actress-model Gehana Vasisth, who was arrested in February for being involved in a porn-racket, revealed in an interview that Raj Kundra was planning to launch a new app named ‘Bollyfame’. He was also making arrangements to launch his sister-in-law, Shamita Shetty in a movie through this app.
In her interview, Gehana said, "Just a few days before his arrest, I went to his office. There, I got to know that he is planning to launch an app called Bollyfame. He was planning to do chat shows, reality shows, music videos and feature films for the app. There was no plan of involving 'bold scenes' in these films."
"We also discussed on the scripts. Then we thought about casting Shamita Shetty for one script, Sai Tamhankar and two other artists for another. I was supposed to direct these films and was thinking about it just a few days before his arrest," Gehana added.
Gehana said that she has never met Shamita Shetty and knew that her particular job was to only direct the film and she stuck to it. She further stated that she has no clue about "Shamita Shetty's fees or conditions" for the film.

The actress also said that Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey should be arrested if there is any pornography case. The two actresses had also released statements in connection with the case. They were questioned by the Maharashtra cyber cell. Sherlyn and Poonam had contracts with Raj Kundra's firm Armsprime Media. Both the actresses had later terminated their contracts. Poonam had also filed a case against the businessman.
Raj Kundra was booked under Indian Penal Code Sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292 and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays), and other relevant sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
