Cherlyne Martins alleges Raj Kundra’s team offered her Rs 85k to 90k for live streaming strip shows
MUMBAI: In the Raj Kundra-Hotshots porn racket, a Goan model Cherlyne Martins has alleged that between November 2020 and January 2021, she was repeatedly approached by three producers, including an agent Ravi Gupta, on different occasions to work for the Hotshots App and shoot soft porn films for Raj Kundra’s company.
Martins who is currently out of the country, alleged they even asked her to send nude audition video clips. She was not using her real name and said that she was known by a different (Indian) name on the modeling circuit.
She told this reporter that she was offered Rs 85k to 90k for doing live streaming strip shows in which she would be topless at the end of the act.

Speaking to this reporter from Oman, where she is currently living with her father, Cherlyne Martins said: “They kept dropping Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra’s name as though he was Salman Khan or Yash Raj Films’ 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. But I told them to get lost.”
The three producers from Mumbai named by Martins are associated with the controversial HotShots app – Ajay Shrimant, Abhijit Harishchandra and Prince Kashyap and have been named by other victims as well.

Their names have come up in the recent police investigation in the Raj Kundra porn racket case and in all likelihood they are named as accused in a new FIR recently registered by the Mumbai Crime Branch.
They are 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.
Continuing with narrating her experience, Cherlyne Martins said she was also approached by a female producer for Arvind Kumar Srivastav aka Yash Thakur’s Nuefliks in November last year.
“I don’t remember her 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.”
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.
