Cherlyne Martins claims Kundra’s producer demanded sexual favors, said Raj can make you a Bollywood star

Panaji: Cherlyne Martins, who claimed that Raj Kundra’s producers Ajay Shrimant, Abhijit Harishchandra and Prince Kashyap had approached her with work offers for sleazy films, today dropped another bomb – she claimed that one of them allegedly even asked her for sexual favors or “compromise” and hinted that if she could “impress” Raj Kundra, he could make her a Bollywood star.

The Goa-origin model who is currently out of the country, but otherwise based in Mumbai, yesterday alleged that between November 2020 and January 2021, she was repeatedly approached  on different occasions by Ajay Shrimant, Abhijit Harishchandra and Prince Kashyap to work for the Hotshots App and shoot soft porn films for Raj Kundra’s company.

Speaking to this reporter from Oman, where she is currently living, Cherlyne Martins said: “They kept dropping Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra’s name as though he was Salman Khan or Aditya Chopra. I wasn’t impressed. Though I do bikini shoots, porn is totally out of my basket. I flatly refused. They offered me 75 to 80k per day. They said I could impress Raj Kundra with my work and my figure and he could make me famous. One of them even hinted that I should “compromise” with Kundra and him. But I told them to get lost.”

Continuing with narrating her experience, she said she was also approached by a female producer for Arvind Kumar Srivastav aka Yash Thakur’s Nuefliks app in November last year.

“I don’t remember the woman’s name. She offered me Rs 1.50 lakh per episode  to do sex scenes. She said there won’t be any real intercourse but only implied sex acts. She compared Nuefliks to Netflix and Anurag Kashyap-directed Sacred Games. For a moment I was confused between the two, but when I checked Nuefliks on Twitter, it looked like a D-grade porn site. So I blocked her on WhatsApp and never spoke to her again,” Martins told this reporter.

The three producers – Ajay Shrimant, Abhijit Harishchandra and Prince Kashyap’s names have come up in the recent police investigation in the Raj Kundra porn racket case.

Another name that has come up is of a middleman Ravi Gupta, who was trying to work with Kundra as a producer, but was stonewalled by Umesh Kamat. Gupta approached several struggling models with offers to shoot for HotShots app.

The trio have been named in a fourth FIR registered at the Malwani Police Station and subsequently transferred to the Property Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch for technical investigation.

All the three – Ajay Shrimant, Abhijit Harishchandra and Prince Kashyap are absconding and are wanted by the Mumbai police. It seems they have fled Mumbai after the crackdown in February, earlier this year.
