In a recent visit to Vrindavan, businessman Raj Kundra and his wife, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, made headlines for more than just their spiritual devotion. The couple visited renowned spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj, seeking blessings and guidance amid personal and legal turmoil. What caught widespread attention was Kundra’s emotional offer to donate one of his kidneys to the ailing guru, showcasing a deeply personal act of devotion.
A Spiritual Encounter
Raj and Shilpa, both dressed traditionally, were seen sitting humbly before Premanand Maharaj. The couple shared their concerns and received spiritual counsel. During the heartfelt conversation, Maharaj disclosed that both of his kidneys had failed and that he had been living with this condition for nearly a decade. Raj Kundra, visibly moved, responded with a surprising gesture of compassion.
“I’ve been following you for the past two years. I have no questions because your videos always answer any doubts or fears I have. You are an inspiration to everyone. I know about your health condition, and if I can help, one of my kidneys is yours,” Kundra stated emotionally.
The spontaneous offer reportedly surprised Shilpa Shetty, but Maharaj received it with grace. “It’s enough for me that you stay happy. Until the call comes, we won’t leave this world because of a kidney. But I accept your goodwill from the heart,” he replied.
Visit Amid Controversy
The deeply emotional exchange came at a time when Raj Kundra finds himself entangled in a legal controversy. Reports have surfaced alleging that Kundra and Shetty were involved in a Rs 60 crore fraud, in which a businessman accused them of financial misconduct. Both have strongly denied the accusations, calling them “baseless” and reaffirming their belief in the legal system and the power of truth.
Despite the legal cloud, the couple’s visit was widely seen as a genuine attempt to seek inner peace and strength. Their interaction with Premanand Maharaj highlighted the importance of spiritual grounding during life’s most challenging moments.
A Place for Reflection
Premanand Maharaj, known for his teachings centered on Lord Krishna and Radha, frequently attracts celebrity devotees, including Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. His ashram has become a refuge for those seeking solace, faith, and guidance—qualities that Raj and Shilpa appeared to be seeking during this particularly turbulent period in their lives.
