Woman On Top Shweta & Manav

With Shweta Tiwari and husband Raja Choudhary marital problems making headlines. It occurred to us that it's not the first instance of a husband reacting violently to his spouse's success. Bollywood made many films on the motif, including the block busters Abhimaan, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and the recent Delhi Heights. The fact is that even today some men get violent and insecure because their wives have gone ahead in the rat race and taken over the bread winners tag. The Shweta-Raja out-burst questions the popular notion that women can have a happy married life and a rocking career without damaging the male ego?

So do professional differences loosen the marital knot and more so in the glamour world, where competition for stardom is fierce? Prashant Golecha roped in a string of actors to comment on this issue.

Manav Gohil, who is married to actress Shweta Kawatra is less seen on TV and more on the party circuit. The actor often cribs about the industry's attitude to berate male actors by offering then less challenging roles. Manav suggests a positive approach to the crises, "The couple has to be matured to know how to balance even if either of the spouses is more successful in the relationship. It may be difficult to digest but one can cope with it, if one desires. Your wife's success can become a motivational factor for you to excel as well; it simply depends on your mental outlook. I think it is about human beings and not just actors, it happens even in corporate sector. I don't see who earns more in the house is an issue. I am saying this on the basis of my observation and my own life experiences."
