Shweta Tiwari has gone through two complicated marriages. Her first marriage to Raja Chaudhary ended in 2007 following serious reports of domestic violence and emotional abuse. They have a daughter, Palak. She married Abhinav Kohli in 2013, but that marriage too became troubled, with Shweta subsequently accusing him of harassment and subjecting her children to an unsafe environment. She is currently raising both of her children as a single mother, juggling her own responsibilities with a successful career in the entertainment industry.

Balancing professional and personal life

Shweta Tiwari, mother-of-two has a beautiful balance between her personal and professional life. After giving birth to her son Reyansh, she remained away from work for three years to devote herself solely to his early life.

Meanwhile, daughter Palak has entered the limelight with her recent entry into Bollywood.
