Police have seized 48 terabytes of adult images and videos in a raid on Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty's home as part of a probe into her husband's alleged connections to illegal porn films.
Officers are now seeking to clone Ms Shetty's phone and may also bring her in for a second round of questioning.
Husband Raj Kundra, 45, was arrested on July 19 in Mumbai by police who said they have 'sufficient evidence' that he is a 'key conspirator' in a porn production ring.
Mr Kundra attended the search with officers on Friday and later had his police custody was extended until July 27.
Ms Shetty told police during questioning on Friday she believed Mr Kundra was innocent and claimed his co-accused Pradeep Bakshi was the one involved with mobile app 'Hotshots', which allegedly streamed pornographic content.
She said she was 'unaware of the exact nature of the content' on the app, but described it as 'erotica' rather than pornography.

Investigators are also probing whether Kundra used two or three other apps as part of a porn production ring.
He is accused of luring a woman into making a porn film, using the promise of getting her an acting job.
An investigation was launched on February 3 after a woman complained to the police about being forced to do the movie under the false pretences, according to the Press Trust of India.
Police are now investigating whether Ms Shetty benefitted from her husband's alleged links to the pornographic film business as part of her position as director of his firm, Viaan.
She resigned from the company after the allegations came to light but police are probing if she received money generated from adult content, E Times reported.
Mr Kundra's police custody was also extended on Friday until at least July 27.

Kundra allegedly set up a film company with his brother, registering it in the UK to evade Indian cyber laws.
He reportedly left the company and has denied any wrongdoing, while his lawyer has objected to classifying the content as pornography.
In a court hearing on Thursday, Abad Ponda suggested the content in question did not show sexual intercourse, and was just vulgar content.
'Police is following what web series are doing these days - vulgar content. But that's not really classified as porn. Nothing in this remand shows that two people actually indulged in act of intercourse. If it's not actual intercourse, it's not classified as porn,' Mr Ponda told the court, according to NDTV.
Publishing or transmitting 'obscene' material including porn is illegal in India under a 2015 law and punishable by up to seven years in jail.
Model-actress Poonam Pandey has also reportedly filed a case against the businessman and his colleagues, claiming they illegally used her content.
Kundra and his colleagues deny the claims and say they haven't received any notice until now.
