“My wife was actually the first person to say, ‘Do you want to live abroad Raj? You left everything in London, you were born and brought up there, you moved here because I wanted to be here. But if you want, I can make things work and let’s leave the country, let’s go abroad.’ I told her that I love India and won’t leave. Log bade bade kaand kar ke, hazarao crore kamake desh se nikal jaata hai, but I have done nothing so I won’t leave the country,” said Raj.

He went on to say that when he was in prison, he and his family went through a lot of hardships and difficulties. Raj said, “I had really broken down, enough to probably end things inside.

I knew what was going on outside."

Raj Kundra is playing the lead role in his upcoming film UT69, directed by Shahnawaz Ali. The film mostly follows his journey inside Arthur Jail, as well as the trials and problems he and his family suffered because of the incident.

Speaking to ANI about his film, Kundra said, "People are fighting inside to sleep and to eat, so whatever it is, there is no remorse in it. These people will come and talk among themselves and when they come out of jail and there is no reform, they will just go inside crying, so if you have kept someone inside, you give a little facility to that type."
