Businessman Raj Kundra, the husband of Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, was arrested by Mumbai Police in a case of creation of pornographic films and publishing them through apps. Soon after, multiple media reports claimed that Shilpa, who is seen as a judge on dance reality Super Dancer 4, will not be seen on the weekend episode and actress Karisma Kapoor will step in place of her as a guest judge. We can confirm that Karisma is indeed shooting for the episode. However, if Shilpa will be missing from the episode is yet to be seen.
Meanwhile, Raj Kundra has been sent into police custody till July 23, the court announced on Tuesday. The Mumbai police on Monday arrested Kundra (45) saying he appears to be the "key conspirator" of the case.
