The day after two photographers were allegedly beaten up by bouncers for clicking actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra pictures on their Thursday date night, the 42-year-old actress took to Instagram to share her views on this incident.
The incident took place last night when the two photographers were clicking pictures of Shilpa and her husband Raj Kundra, while they were coming out of the hotel in suburban Bandra. According to the police, while the actor and Kundra were moving inside their car, the two bouncers allegedly pushed the photographers, who were taking their photos, and later manhandled them.
The actress took to her social media handle to condemn the incident calling it “unnecessary”.
Saddened by the way things unfolded last night, Shilpa released an official statement that read, “Omg, appalled and disappointed at the way these photographers were bashed up… Really unnecessary… I even posed for them before I left and the next thing I knew, they got into fisticuffs violently when I left…Feel bad for the paps they stand for hrs sometimes for a shot…They are part of my fraternity and no one needs to be beaten for doing his job. Absolutely condemn what happened.”
The actor, who is currently in Amirtsar, added that she is saddened by the incident.

Based on the complaint filed by victims, Sonu and Himanshu Shinde, a case has been booked under IPC section 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 34 (common intention), against the two bouncers.
The accused, identified as Kanchi Purve and Kadar, were arrested Friday morning.
Graphic videos from the scene saw the bouncers landing heavy blows on the two photographers identified as Sonu and Himanshu Shinde, leaving them bloodied and bruised.
The restaurant’s management has also come forward to offer the photographers a formal apology and to assure the media personnel that the necessary action has been taken against the bouncers apart from offering to clear medical costs incurred during the unfortunate incident.
The statement read, “During last night’s incident, the people involved were personnel who are hired via external vendors – as is the practice, the security agency assigns their personnel to us and other establishments based on who is available that day.”
They went on to state that the management and staff were inside in the restaurant at the time of the incident and were made aware of the same, a while after it began. The statement further read, “We are changing security agencies today as we do not want to take the risk of this happening again, as well as personally apologising to the media involved. We are also collecting all information so that we are able to offer to take care of any and all medical bills that may have resulted due to this incident.”
On the work front, Shilpa is set to turn a television producer with “Aunty Boli Lagao Boli: Sabse Kam Sabse Anokhi”, which will air on Colors TV.
