Reportedly, the loan was taken by Shilpa and Shamita's father, Surendra Shetty. Parhad, who is reportedly an automobile agency owner, said that Shilpa's father had borrowed the money in 2015. He had allegedly promised to repay it in January 2017, however, the Shettys are now refusing to repay the amount. The loan was allegedly given to Shilpa and her father's firm Corgifts.

In 2019, Parhad had spoken about the alleged loan and said, "All payments were made through cheques drawn in favour of Surendra's firm 'Corgifts'." Reacting to the comment at that time, Shilpa had said in a statement: "I have had no involvement in my late father's business ever and have no knowledge of the financial dealing of the company at all. This gentleman is misleading the media. I knew him in the capacity of our family car mechanic, that's all."
