Raj Kundra told the Hindustan Times what transpired via a text message. "I’d like to clarify the situation regarding the video circulating online. I had booked this particular restaurant a year in advance to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that our table had been given away to another group due to what they claimed was a ‘double booking’ error from the same agent, " he wrote.

Raj Kundra also disclosed that he and his family were urged to keep quiet when they voiced their worries regarding this mistake. "As someone who has also run restaurants, I found the handling of the situation deeply frustrating, especially with my elderly parents, mother-in-law and 20 guests left waiting. What was meant to be a special evening turned unnecessarily stressful, and when we raised our concerns, we were abruptly told to stay quiet, which only added to our disappointment," his text message read further.

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra are the owners of the well-known restaurant business Bastian, which has several locations in Mumbai and one in Bengaluru. Additionally, they shared ownership of Mumbai's Royalty pub.
