New Delhi: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra was arrested by Mumbai police on Monday evening (July 19) in a pornography creation and circulation case. Amid charges and allegations against him, an old interview of the business tycoon has propped up in which he spoke about experiencing poverty as a child. He had revealed to an entertainment magazine that his father used to work as a bus conductor in London and his mother would work at a factory. He revealed that as a 'self-made man', he left college at 18 to work.  He told Filmfare in 2013, "I come from a humble background. My dad moved to London 45 years ago and worked as a bus conductor whereas my mother worked in a factory. We never had it easy. I’m a self-made man since I left college at the age of 18. Whenever Shilpa checks me for spending carelessly, I tell her I have no qualms about enjoying the money I have made. My anger pushed me. I hated poverty so much that I wanted to become rich. And I did make a difference in my life. Shilpa respected me for that as she’s self-made too."
