Shilpa Shetty TROLLED for Riding Horseback to Vaishno Devi Temple: 'Kya Faida Itna Yoga Karke'

Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty recently visited the Vaishno Devi temple in Jammu and Kashmir, accompanied by her mother Sunanda Shetty and sister, actor Shamita Shetty. She also shared photos from the trip on social media. They took a private jet and later, a chopper, to visit the temple. The visit follows shortly after the Enforcement Directorate seizes assets worth Rs 98 crore belonging to Shilpa and Raj Kundra in connection with a cryptocurrency scheme.

Shilpa Shetty faced backlash on social media after posting a video of her horseback ride to the mountaintop for darshan at the Vaishno Devi temple. Animal lovers criticised her for animal cruelty, questioning the necessity of her intense fitness and yoga routine if she couldn’t trek the 12 km from the base camp at Katra. Many took to the comments and slammed her actions.

One user commented, “Kya fayda itni fitness ka jab Jana kisi bezuban pe baithke he hai”. Another wrote, “Kya faayda Itna yoga karne ka climbing in a horse and going• helicopter kar lete isse achcha.” “Koi fayeda nhi bejan janwar k upper baithke jane m darshan krne k krne hai pedal jao helicopter se jao,” read a third comment.

Last week, Shilpa Shetty visited Assam to offer her prayers at Kamakya Temple. In one of the photos, Shilpa was seen performing a special puja in the temple. She also posed with the authorities of the temple. Meanwhile, her husband, businessman Raj Kundra was not seen at the temple. See the photos below:

Last month, ED seized Raj’s properties worth Rs 97.79 crore. The attached properties include a residential flat in Mumbai’s Juhu, in the name of Shilpa. Another property is a residential bungalow in Pune and Equity shares in the name of Raj Kundra, the ED said.

The Mumbai zonal office of ED has provisionally attached immovable and movable properties of Raj under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. It has been alleged that Kundra along with others collected huge amounts of funds in the form of bitcoins (worth Rs 6,600 crore in 2017) from the “gullible public with the false promises of 10 per cent per month return in the form of bitcoins”.

Meanwhile, on Mother’s Day, Shilpa posted a heartwarming picture with her sister and mother, showing them sharing loved-up moments.
