Raja Chaudhary and Shweta Tiwari
Television actress Shweta Tiwari’s personal life has often been in the limelight. Her bitter marriage with her first husband, Raja Chaudhary, has come up every now and then. While Shweta has publicly accused Raja of physical abuse, the actor recently got the opportunity to defend himself.
Raja Chaudhary slams Shweta Tiwari
In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Raja did not hold back when expressing his dislike for Shweta. Calling her “illiterate,” Raja said that he had planned the future of their daughter, actress Palak Tiwari.
He said, “Tumne paise dekhe nahi, bachpan se tumne gareebi ki zindagi ji hai, chawl main rahe ho, achanak se jab paise aaye toh dimaag kharab hojaata hai logon ka (You hadn’t seen money before, you lived a life of poverty since childhood, grew up in a chawl. When money suddenly comes, it messes with people’s minds).”
He added, “Padhai likhai tumne ki nahi hai, anpadh tum vaise ho, jhoote duniya jee rahe ho, toh jab aap kaam karne lagte ho toh the person doesn't remain the same. She became a businesswoman (You weren’t educated, you’re illiterate in that sense, living a fake life, so when you start working).”
He further said “I earned it, it’s my money, what did you even earn? Did you arrive on this earth alone? I don’t understand how anyone in a family can even say something like ‘this is my money’. It’s our money. But if that’s the extent of her thinking, what can anyone do?”
'I was earning less'
When asked if Shweta earned more than him, he said, "You could say that. She was earning more, I was earning less. I was working too, but does that even matter? A man earns his whole life — the day a woman earns, she feels it was her money. Aadmi toh kabhi nahi kehta yeh mera paisa hai. Aurat ka paisa aurat ka paisa hogaya, ajeeb natak hai. Fir baatien hongi ki kandhe se kandha milake chalenge, barabari karenge, abey kahan ho barabari ke layak? Chaar rupay dekhke tumhari neyaat badal gayi (A man never says, ‘this is my money.’ But a woman’s money suddenly becomes a woman’s money. It’s a strange drama. Then there will be talk about walking shoulder to shoulder, about equality — but where’s the capability for equality? Your intentions changed just by seeing a little money)."
Raja and Shweta married in 1998 and welcomed their daughter, Palak Tiwari, in 2000. However, in 2007, Shweta filed for divorce citing issues such as alcoholism and accusing him of domestic violence. Their divorce was finalised in 2012. Since then, Palak has lived with Shweta.
