Shweta Tiwari on her second failed marriage

Shweta Tiwari, who is regarded as one of the most successful actresses on Indian television, is making her comeback to the small screen. She plays the lead character in Sony Entertainment Television’s upcoming show Mere Dad Ki Dulhan alongside popular television actor Varun Badola.

Apart from her show, Tiwari is also hitting headlines for her second failed marriage with actor Abhinav Kohli. For the unversed, the actress was previously married to actor Raja Chaudhary. The couple, who has a daughter named Palak, separated in 2007 after the actress accused Chaudhary of domestic violence.


In 2013, Shweta married actor Abhinav Kohli and the couple had a son in 2016. Reports of problems in their paradise first surfaced in media in 2017. In August 2019, Tiwari filed a complaint of domestic violence against Kohli.

During the promotions of her comeback show Mere Dad Ki Dulhan, the actress has been asked a lot about her second failed marriage. Lashing out at all those questioning her, Shweta told a publication, “I want to ask those people who are saying how can her marriage go wrong even for the second time. I want to ask them why can’t things go wrong. At least, I have the courage to face it and come out in open and talk about the problem. Whatever, I am doing today is for the betterment of my family and my kids. There are so many people out there who are married but still have boyfriend and girlfriends. I think I am better than them at least I have guts to come out and say dude I don’t want to stay with you. I am doing all this without thinking people would judge me or what you people are going to write about me.”

The actress further added, “I want to send message across to all the females who shy away from talking about troubles in their married life because they fear of being judged. They will go through the pain and will silently tolerate everything and won’t give good life to their kids. So, ladies please don’t bear the pain and come out and talk about it.”

Joaquin Pedro Valdes on finding his place in London and challenging stereotypes in British theatre

Highlights

  • Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes left a career in filmmaking and advertising to pursue musical theatre in the UK, following his first love for the stage.
  • Now playing Benny in RENT, he wants audiences to see the character as a complicated human being rather than simply the villain.
  • Valdes believes Asian representation in British theatre has improved, but says producers and creative teams still have a long way to go.

Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes spent nine years working in filmmaking, directing commercials and advertising before deciding to pursue the one passion he could never leave behind. Theatre had been part of his life since childhood, but turning it into a full-time career meant leaving Manila, moving to the UK and rebuilding his professional life in a new country.

Now performing as Benny in the West End production of RENT, Valdes is drawing on his own experiences of ambition, financial pressure and belonging to explore a character who is often dismissed as the musical's antagonist. For him, Benny's story is about more than money. It is about someone who once belonged to a community but chose a different path in the hope of building a better life.
