Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has found herself at the centre of headlines once again as Bastian Bandra prepares to close its doors. Co-owned by Shetty and restaurateur Ranjit Bindra, the restaurant has been a hotspot for seafood lovers since 2016. However, the closure comes at a time clouded by controversy. Weeks earlier, Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra were accused in a Rs 60 crore scam, with allegations of cheating businessman Deepak Kothari through their now-defunct company, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.
Lawyer Calls Claims Baseless
This development has led to speculation, with many linking the closure to the ongoing fraud case. Social media users have been quick to call it another Bollywood celebrity business controversy, while loyal patrons mourn the loss of one of Mumbai’s most iconic dining destinations. Though Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer dismissed the claims as baseless, the fact remains: Bastian restaurant shuts amid fraud allegations, marking the end of an era for Bastian Bandra.
