Vishal reacts

During the conversation, he admitted that he also came across the fake wedding photographs.

“Yes, I saw the pictures too, and honestly, all I can do is laugh,” Vishal said.

He added, “I don’t need to explain my relationship to Shweta because people will think what they want. Shweta and I know the truth about our bond, why should I care about other people’s opinions? Anyone who knows us knows that I call her “Mom” and we share a great bond. These viral pictures don’t bother me, just make me laugh.”

This is not the first time that buzz surrounding Shweta and Vishal’s relationship has surfaced on social media. Some time ago, the two were linked due to their close bond and social media banter.

About the viral image

The photographs have Shweta as bride in traditional dress and Vishal as groom. One picture shows Shweta signing with Vishal standing right next to her, and another shows them posing together after exchanging garlands. It seems Shweta and Vishal’s faces were superimposed over actor Swara Bhasker and her husband Fahad Ahmad’s faces in their wedding pictures.

Shweta Tiwari was previously married to Raja Chaudhary with whom she has a daughter named Palak Tiwari. She filed for divorce in 2007 after nine years of marriage. Shweta claimed that they had a troubled relationship due to Raja’s alcoholism and domestic violence.

Shweta then married Abhinav Kohli on July 13, 2013, after dating him for three years. They have a son named Reyansh Kohli. In August 2019, she filed a domestic violence complaint against Abhinav, alleging that he harassed her and her daughter. Meanwhile, Vishal was in the news for his breakup with Madhurima Tuli. They first appeared on Nach Baliye 9 as an ex-couple but they had bitter public fights. After Vishal enters Big Boss 13 as a wildcard contestant, Madhurima also joined him.
