The day my wife stops being 'Shweta Tiwari' ... things will be fine, says husband of Kasautii star
Raja Chowdhary and Shweta Tiwari's marriage being on the rocks has been making news ever since Shweta Tiwari filed a complaint against him for abuse. But Raja still believes the issue has been blown out of proportion. He is particularly upset with Ekta Kapoor's Balaji production house. "Some guy called Saket is meddling into our matters. He's from Balaji production house. They have provided her with a bodyguard and a lawyer. This lawyer has asked her to not communicate with me. I haven't been able to speak to her at all. I don't know why they are interfering in our matter ," he says, adding, "People instead of trying to build a home are intent on breaking it. They are misleading her. I hope she realises that. Right now, I have spoken to her mother and I hope she helps me persuade Shweta to come back. I want Shweta back... anyhow."
Raja acknowledges the fact they had a huge argument four days ago. "We did have a huge argument, but I did not hit her. Around four years ago, we had a huge fight when I slapped Shweta and she slapped me back. I broke some things in the house and she broke a few more, we realised that this was a futile exercise and made up then."
It has also been reported that Raja has a drinking problem . "I used to drink a lot, but I quit drinking after a major illness during Nach Baliye 2," he says. So why are they having these problems then? "We were thinking of having another kid that's why I wanted her to quit Kasautii Zindagii Kay, which she refused. That's why we had a fight. I don't want my kids to be brought up by maids," he says. Raja says that their daughter Palak is completely unaware of what's happening between the couple. He says, "She doesn't know anything about the fight. She thinks we are staying apart for work reasons. I hope we get over this for her sake." People close to Shweta say that Raja is misusing Shweta's money. But Raja says, "When Shweta was busy and I was relatively free, I was managing the house. No one points that the house, the cars and our office have been registered in her name. She never questioned me if I asked her to sign on a cheque. But of late things seem to have changed. And that's only because of the people around her. The moment she stops being Shweta Tiwari and becomes Shweta Chowdhary we'll be a happy family," he says.
Apparently trouble in the marriage started when Shweta was linked to co-star Cezzane Khan. But Raja feels otherwise. "Shweta never got along with him and we used to laugh about the rumour. Also recently it was reported that Shweta caught me with the actress of my film Kuch Khel Kuch Masti, but that's not true either," says Raja.
Raja hopes for a reconciliation. "We will talk to each other after 8-10 days. But this time she'll have to make the first move. I'll be most willing to follow her. If she wants a divorce I'll give her that too. I know we all make mistakes, but we should look beyond them," he concludes.
