In a conversation with TellyChakkar, Shivani responded to Raja's allegations by reflecting on the time they all worked together on the sets of Kasautii Zindagii Kay. She recalled that Shweta often appeared visibly distressed, occasionally breaking down emotionally during shoots.
Shivani described the immense pressure Shweta Tiwari was under. She was managing a demanding television career with gruelling shooting schedules that sometimes stretched to 36 hours. Alongside her professional commitments, Shweta was reportedly facing serious personal challenges at home. At the time, she was caring for a young child, navigating a marital crisis and searching for a new place to live.
Shivani stressed that the circumstances were overwhelming, and Shweta frequently struggled to cope with the mental and emotional strain.
Addressing the specific allegation of an affair between Shweta and Cezanne, Shivani offered a nuanced perspective. She explained that when two actors spend such long and emotionally intense hours working together, especially while portraying romantic leads, it's natural for a certain level of comfort or emotional bond to develop between them. But she was clear in stating that forming a close working rapport shouldn't automatically be interpreted as an affair.
Shivani admitted that she was not in a position to confirm whether any romantic relationship actually existed between the two, but cautioned against drawing conclusions solely based on their on-screen chemistry or time spent together on set.
Shivani Gosain, known for her work in Indian television, has appeared in a number of popular shows over the years. Her portrayal of Varsha Bhabhi in Kasautii Zindagii Kay remains one of her standout roles. She has also been a part of successful serials like Rang Badalti Odhani, Love You Zindagi, Saraswatichandra, Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki, Naagin 5 and Pratigya 2. Shivani has also made guest appearances in hit shows like Anupamaa and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum.
Meanwhile, Raja Chaudhary's recent interview with Pinkvilla reignited the old controversy. He claimed that although his legal divorce from Shweta Tiwari was finalised in 2012, the relationship had effectively ended in 2003. Raja accused Shweta of having an affair with Cezanne Khan during that period. He recounted an incident in which he visited the Kasautii Zindagii Kay set early in the day, only to find out that Shweta had not arrived for work, contrary to what she had told him. Later, he allegedly saw her arriving with Cezanne and their driver. Raja added that any attempt he made to confront Shweta about this was dismissed, with the blame often redirected toward his struggles with alcohol.
Shweta Tiwari's personal life has frequently made headlines, sometimes overshadowing her achievements as a successful actress. Her first marriage to Raja Chaudhary ended on a bitter note and although she later remarried actor Abhinav Kohli, that relationship also proved to be short-lived and tumultuous. Despite these challenges, Shweta has continued to thrive professionally, earning praise for her resilience and her ability to maintain a strong screen presence through it all.

Watch: Karisma Kapoor Spotted Shooting In Mumbai Amid Sunjay Kapur Estate Row
New Delhi: Karisma Kapoor has been making headlines recently due to her alleged claim on ex-husband and business tycoon Sunjay Kapur's Rs 30,000 crore estate. Sunjay died in June following a cardiac arrest. His company, Sona Comstar, has since been at the centre of an investigation and a family feud over control of the group. Amid the controversy, Karisma was spotted shooting for a show in Mumbai on Monday. While grappling with the city's heavy rains, the actress briefly posed for photographers outside her vanity van. She wore a stylish jumpsuit with a ponytail. This public appearance comes as the estate dispute involving Sunjay's family continues to unfold. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@sneyhzala) Karisma Kapoor got married to Sunjay Kapur in 2003. The couple had two children together, a daughter, Samaira, and a son, Kiaan. However, their marriage faced difficulties and they eventually divorced in 2016. In a recent interview with NDTV, Sunjay's sister Mandhira Kapur spoke warmly of Karisma. She said, "She is a mother. She is a very good mother, I have to give her that. She has done a very good job of letting the family be one, which know..I commend her for that. I think the kids have been close, and they've had a great relationship. Hopefully somehow, we can carry that on and let the family be one again because she is looking out for her kids like any mother would, and that's what she is doing." When asked if she is in touch with Karisma, Mandhira responded, "Yes, of course. I am sure she is in touch with Priya (Sunjay's widow Priya Sachdev Kapur) too. The fact is we've all had a good relationship. The kids have been coming to see mom. We are all in touch. This is not meant to be a family feud." The family dispute escalated when Rani Kapur, Sunjay and Mandhira's mother, claimed sole beneficiary rights to her late husband Surinder Kapur's business empire, including Sona Comstar. She also alleged being pressured into signing papers appointing Priya Sachdev Kapur, Sunjay Kapur's wife, as a non-executive director. However, the company refuted her claims, stating she hasn't been involved in the business since 2019.
