Her second marriage with Abhinav Kohli in 2013 also faced challenges, leading to Shweta filing a domestic violence case against him.

Society often holds the belief that marriage is the key to a satisfying and stable life. When people observe individuals over 35 who are still single, they may feel anxious, questioning what the future holds for them and how they will navigate life.
Nevertheless, amidst these societal expectations, successful TV personalities who are over 40 have demonstrated that one can lead a fulfilling life without being married.
