Actor Shilpa Shetty, who was interrogated by the Mumbai Police on Friday, has said she was unaware of the exact nature of content on 'Hotshots' - the mobile app via which her husband, Raj Kundra, is accused of streaming pornographic content. Police sources told ANI that Shilpa has said that her husband was creating 'erotica', not 'porn' and stressed on the difference between the two.

Shilpa's statement was recorded at her house in suburban Juhu. The crime branch of Mumbai Police also conducted a search of the house and seized a laptop, the official added.

As Shilpa was a director of Viaan Industries, Raj's firm, the police decided to question her, he said, adding that she had later resigned from the post.

On Friday, a court extended Raj's police custody till July 27. He was arrested in the case on July 19.
