Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband, businessman Raj Kundra, are facing fresh legal hurdles in a high-profile cheating case. The Bombay High Court has made it clear that it will only consider their request to travel abroad after they deposit Rs 60 crore, the amount at the heart of the dispute.

The court’s directive came during a hearing at which Shilpa and Kundra sought suspension of the Look Out Circular (LOC) that prevents them from leaving India. The couple cited professional commitments and leisure trips abroad as reasons for their request.
