A common man's life gets ruined in a single legal case. He has to suffer a great loss both financially and mentally. But, Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra has a different story. Even after being implicated in many cases ranging from allegations of underworld connection to cricket betting, Raj sometimes gets relief from the stay of the court, and sometimes the police himself gives clean chit.
Raj's name came up in so many cases, yet he got away every time. In the words of Shilpa Shetty, Raj's luck has been 'Super Se Bhi Upar'. Despite having an estimated net worth of 4000 crores, Raj started the business of porn films. Perhaps, they will have faith in their super luck.

After this, they do not know whether the new owners have taken any loan or not.
