Meet actress who divorced her first husband after 4 years, fell in love with co-star younger than her, married secretly, her name is..., husband is...
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, where often the picture-perfect part makes it to the spotlight, it's often the harsh truth behind the curtain that never meets the eyes. It's usually the personal traumas, turbulent bonds, and ugly interpersonal relationships that are shown with the portrayal of everything good and over the top, until one day the reality comes out.
Behind the camera lights and red carpet appearances are stories of emotional rollercoasters and shocking twits, where love can both fall apart and find its way back in the most unexpected places.
One such story is of a celebrated actress, Ashwini Kalsekar, who has made her strong presence both on television and in films. Although Aswini was popularly known for her role as a supporting actor and a negative role, she has also made her mark in the film industry with her role in films like Golmaal, All the Best, Singham Returns, and Khakee, mostly starring alongside Ajay Devgn. However, she rose to fame with her role as Maham Anga in the serial Jodha Akbar and went on to portray strong characters in shows like Kasamh Se and Jijaji Chhat Per Hain.
Besides her great professional success, her personal life was far from smooth. She first got married in 1998 to a fellow TV actor, Nitish Pandey, but soon that relationship turned sour, and they started having rifts. After 4 years in 2002, the couple parted ways.
After the separation, she focused on her career and spent considerable time working on herself. During filming a particular project, she met one of the younger co-stars, Murali Sharma, who was three years her junior. Their initial interactions were cordial, but eventually, they became good friends. With time, their connection grew deeper, and they fell in love with each other. Soon, they got married in a simple wedding in 2009.
Later, in an interview, she revealed that she and her husband both shared she and her husband have been each other's critics, always helping each other grow.
From her journey of enduring heartbreak to finding love again, her tale is one of resilience, strength, and unscripted turns.

Naseeruddin Shah reveals he turned down numerous songs after ‘Oye Oye' became a blockbuster hit: ‘I'm a terrible dancer…'
Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah may be one of India's most revered performers, but his sudden surge to mass popularity came from an unexpected place, an iconic song-and-dance number in the 1989 hit Tridev. The track 'Oye Oye' became a national sensation, and along with it, Naseeruddin found himself in the middle of mainstream adulation. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, the actor candidly spoke about the ironic nature of his overnight fame following the film. Despite becoming the face of the wildly popular song, Naseeruddin revealed that he never saw himself as a dancer—or even a singer, for that matter. He said, 'Infact after song Oye Oye, I was flooded with only offers like that. People wanted me to do the same thing. But I didn't fall into that trap because I'm a terrible dancer. Oye Oye worked because they didn't expect that I would be even able to do one step right. And that's why they were shocked and it worked. Anyways, there is no dearth of people praising you in this industry.' Reflecting on the period when lip-syncing to playback songs was the norm, Naseeruddin shared how uncomfortable the experience was for him. 'Now it has stopped happening, but there was a time when it used to happen a lot. I was asked to sing, and that was equivalent to hundred deaths. I'm really bad at singing, among the worst singers of song in Hindi. Perhaps because I never thought that I would have to play hero in films, or sing songs or worse, romance actresses younger than my daughter's age.' Also Read | Naseeruddin Shah slams 'sickening' Bollywood films that celebrate hyper masculinity: 'Big tragedy if they're considered…' For Naseeruddin Shah, the world of commercial Hindi cinema was never the end goal. His aspirations had always been grounded in realism, in character roles—something that didn't involve elaborate dance routines or lip-synced songs. 'I had thought I would end up becoming a character actor. Will play the role of a lawyer, doctor, cop or an elder brother. And that's why I'm terrible at commercial acting, because I never trained for it.' The actor, known for his brutally honest take on the film industry, went on to admit that he's never been fond of his performances in the commercial space. He has often expressed his disconnect with the formulaic aspects of mainstream cinema. In the same interview, Naseeruddin added that filmmakers began typecasting him into intense, often melodramatic roles. They only imagined him as the actor who could perhaps scream and cry on screen and he was fed up by that and didn't know how to bring novelty to such mediocrity.
