Actress Shweta Tiwari is one of the most popular faces on television. Her performance as Prerna in the hit Hindi show 'Kasauti Zindagi Kay' is one of the most memorable roles on Indian prime-time television. Apart from her skills as an actress, Shweta Tiwari has also been in the news for her turbulent marriages. She first got married to Raja Chaudhary in 1998. In a recent interview with Galatta India, Shweta revealed what prevented her from filing for a divorce for years despite being in an abusive marriage.

Shweta had filed for a divorce in 2007 on the grounds of domestic violence and due to Raja's alcoholism.  The actor claimed that Raja used to beat her up every day as well as turn up on the sets of her shows and misbehave with her.
