Seven years back, British businessman Raj Kundra broke many hearts when he swept Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty off her feet. Since then, the couple have been blissfully married and it seems that he continues to make her go weak in the knees.
Today, the famous couple is celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary and are clearly in a happy place. It was made evident by a picture that Shilpa posted. She is seen hugging her husband and wrote a rather heartfelt message wishing him on their anniversary.
Referring to her husband as her "soulmate" she wrote: "Whoa! 7 yrs..Happy Anniversary @therajkundra "I have found my Home in your Heart and Love in your Soul." I'm the luckiest girl in the world.#hubbylove #soulmate #loveunconditionally #gratitude."
However, she wasn't the only one to remember the special day. Raj Kundra also shared a sweet message for his wife on Twitter, where he is quite active. And it certainly looked like he is very much in love with his "rock of Gibraltar."
He wrote: "Wishing my soulmate @TheShilpaShetty my rock of Gibraltar a very Happy Anniversary. Thank you for always being there!! I am blessed!"

Shilpa responds to divorce rumours
While the couple showed their solidarity for each other at promotional events and cricket matches, speculations were rife that they maybe considering a separation.
However, as always the Kundras came together and faced the media's question about this issue. They even admitted that the situation became "irritating" for them.
Talking to TOI about the rumours Shilpa said, "Can you believe that kya sochkar likhte hai yaar. Even Raj and my friends were so embarrassed. I think some of my friends were having a party and they were scared to call Raj and me as they believed the rumour. One of them called and said 'accha humne ghar par party rakhi hui hai aa jaana'. As I was travelling, I got to know from them about the rumour. I think it's part and parcel of being a celebrity. People sometimes are bound to write rubbish. I have learnt to take it in my stride but that was very distasteful."
She added that she didn't quite understand why people believed the couple had a problem to begin with.
"Why would there be a problem? You are mad or what? I love my husband. He is my soulmate, touchwood! I think because I kept quiet, it was blown out of proportion. I am not one of those who really believes that I need to clarify anything to anyone. Unless it is something that I just feel is uncalled for. I always believe 'agar maine isse zyaada importance diya toh aur bada ho jayega'. That's the reason I kept quiet and I suddenly saw it snowballing. I even called my PR, who is a very old friend of mine, and I said what the hell is happening, you will have to stop this now, it's really irritating me," she said.
The couple who are parents of their four-year-old son Viaan Raj Kundra, have clearly proved that no matter the rumours, their bond is strong enough to withstand them. They have also exemplified the meaning of a trustworthy marriage by venturing into the following together:
- Becoming business partners: The couple are business partners for many of their ventures and leaders of their own individual companies as well. This helps them think alike and support each other professionally.
- Becoming parents to Viaan: The couple who recently celebrated their son's fourth birthday have been co-parenting with ease. Often seen together on all major festivals and special days, they are proof that a family that celebrates together, stays together.
- Having the same family values: Shilpa has on many occasions shared that she shares similar family values as husband Raj and that brings them closer to each other. This has also helped them co-parent their son easily.
