Things seem to be getting uglier between Shweta Tiwari and her estranged husband, Abhinav Kohli. It all began a couple of days ago when Abhinav accused Shweta of leaving their son Reyansh alone in Mumbai and travelling to Cape Town for the show Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi. Shweta responded to his allegations, saying she had informed him about her travel over a phone call, and that their son was safe with her mother and daughter, Palak. In another video, Abhinav accused her of lying and said that she should have left their son with him.

On Monday night, Shweta shared a video on Instagram, in which the actress can be seen struggling with Abhinav in an attempt to stop him from pulling their son, Reyansh. Along with the video, she wrote, “Now let the truth come out!!!! (But this is not going to stay forever on my account, I will eventually delete it, I am posting this right now to reveal the truth, then it goes off). This is why my child is scared of him! After this incident my child was scared for more than a month, he was so scared that he would not even sleep properly at Night! His hand hurt for more than 2 weeks. Even now he is scared of his papa coming home or meeting him (sic).”

In her post, Shweta further wrote, “I can’t let me Child go Through this mental trauma... I try my best to keep him calm and happy! But this Horrible Man makes sure my baby’s mental health goes back to Square one! If this is not physical abuse then what is!!!!?? It is the CCTV footage of my society (sic).”

While Shweta could not be reached, Abhinav told us, “I also have a video from the same night, and I don’t think there was any mishandling. She tried to take the child away forcefully from my home even though he didn’t want to go with her. In fact, I tried to reason it out with her to allow our son to stay with me for the night instead of taking him away against his wish. It’s evident in the video, which I have that she sat down and made it look like I pushed her. There was no pushing, pulling, or assault. She did it deliberately to create a scene. When my son said that he wanted to go to his mother, I took him to her. The following day, she took him to a hotel. After I failed to locate him, I filed a case against her in December 2020.”

Recently, in an interview, Shweta had said that Abhinav hadn’t financially contributed towards raising their son. Talking about it Abhinav said, “That’s not true. I was working till the beginning of 2019 and would transfer 40 per cent of my earnings into Shweta’s bank account without fail.”

1) Shweta married Raja Chaudhary in 1998 and their daughter Palak was born in October 2000. They were granted divorce in 2012.

2) The actress tied the knot with Abhinav Kohli in 2013 after dating him for a few years. Their son, Reyansh, was born in 2016.

3) Their marriage hit a rocky patch in August 2019 when Shweta filed a complaint against him for domestic violence and her daughter Palak, too, had alleged in a post on Instagram that he persistently made inappropriate and disturbing remarks, “the impact of which is only known to my mother and I,” she had said in her post on social media.

In an ugly turn of events, actors Shweta Tiwari and her estranged husband, Abhinav Kohli are engaged in an unfortunate and resentful face-off over their son, Reyansh. Things got heated up over their son after Tiwari left for Cape Town, South Africa on May 7, to shoot for, Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. After this, Kohli, in a video, said that Reyansh was abandoned by his mother.

Explaining herself in an interview to Bollywood Bubble, Tiwari said, “I had informed Abhinav over a phone call that I am going to Cape Town and that Reyansh is with my family. I really don’t understand the agenda behind it, given that he speaks to Reyansh in the evening over call for about one hour, every day, as per the High Court’s order.” She added that he hasn’t been contributing financially for their son’s welfare.

In retaliation, Kohli released a new video, denying the allegations and claiming that he has been transferring 40% of his earnings into her bank account and that Tiwari was lying that she had informed him about their son’s whereabouts.

Tiwari then posted a video from the CCTV camera of their building, where Kohli is seeing snatching their son, pushing her and walking away. She wrote, “Let the truth Come out… This is why my Child is scared of him …”(sic). Many including Ekta Kapoor, Karanvir Bohra and Kamya Panjabi, demanded action against Kohli.

Kohli then in a two hour long live on Instagram, explained the chronology of events with video proofs about the video Tiwari posted. Talking to us, Kohli says, “She snatched my kid and now this huge scandal with labels like ‘man-handler’ and ‘woman-beater’. She has lied. If you look at the videos I shared, it is a clearer version and you will see Shweta wasn’t pushed, she sat down on her own and is seen lying on the grass on her own. It was all acting.”

After dating for a few years, the couple got married in 2013 and had their son in 2016. A year later, Tiwari filed a complaint of domestic violence against him, and they were separated in 2019. The couple live in the same building complex. Kohli further adds: “This is torture on a personal level not just maligning my character. Whatever the world sees is not even half of what happens.”

After repeated messages and calls, Tiwari was unavailable for a response.
