Raja and Shweta ended their marriage over ten years ago. Back then, Shweta had accused him of domestic violence and said he had a drinking problem, which made it unsafe for her and their daughter Palak.
In a recent chat, he spoke about his broken marriage with Shweta and how he ended up staying away from their daughter, Palak Tiwari.Now, speaking in an interview with Hindi Rush, Raja shared how the divorce shook his life and left him with nothing. “This divorce cost me all my money. It was like I died in a plane crash while she survived. She took away everything. She created a situation where nobody was ready to even rent out their house to me.
She ruined my image. It was the court that helped me get back one of my flats (bought by my parents). If it was left to Shweta, she would never have given me a single penny.
”‘She didn’t let me meet my daughter’Raja also dismissed Shweta’s past claims that she gave up her marriage for their daughter. Instead, he said it was Shweta who stopped him from seeing Palak right from the start. He addendum “She didn’t let me meet my daughter. She divorced me on a condition that I never meet my daughter.
After a legal battle of about 8-10 years, I finally gave up. I was like, ‘Beti bhi na mil, tu bhi na mil’. In all this process, a father dies.
You can’t meet your child, fatherhood gets killed.”‘She took away the whole family’Coming from a background where divorce was unheard of, Raja found it hard to accept how things turned out. He said Shweta did not just keep Palak away from him, but from the entire family. “Shweta didn’t just take away Palak from me, but the entire family.
She was born there. The entire family adored her and looked after her. Shweta disconnected her from all of them, not even letting her meet her grandparents. She harassed my entire family.
”Even though he could not be with Palak as she grew up, Raja said he still tries to stay in touch. He sometimes chats with her on social media, but shared that she rarely has time for him. “I keep writing her letters every now and then sharing my life updates with her. However, she is busy building her career, so she barely makes any time for me.”
