Shweta Tiwari’s ex husband Abhinav Kohli opens up on the ‘viral assault video’

Shweta Tiwari and husband Abhinav Kohli recently made headlines because of a video shared by Shweta in which Abhinav is allegedly assaulting her in their society compound. Soon after the video posted by Shweta, Abhinav also shared a long video explaining his side of the story. In the video, Abhinav also showed some videos in which Reyansh, their son can be seen playing and with him and enjoying his company, unlike what Shweta claimed in her post.

Abhinav has also taken a legal route and approached the Bombay High Court. He has alleged that the Shweta has left their son in Mumbai in a hotel while she has left for Cape Town to shoot for Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 during the pandemic.

IN an interview with ETimes Tv Abhinav shared details of the HC hearing that took place on May 11 and said “Yesterday I had a date with the honorable High Court and the HC was gracious enough to give me a hearing. The honorable HC has taken into notice that Shweta Tiwari the mother of my son Reyansh left for South Africa and the honorable HC has ordered me to submit an application in detail and has given us one week’s time to do this. And another week has been given to Shweta’s side to file a reply to the application. This application has to be about the fact that for which I’ve been constantly fighting that I want my child to be with me in this pandemic and when his mother is not around. So the HC has asked me to submit in detail an application and give it to the court. It’s definitely a relief that the court has opened its ears for my matter and I am obliged,” said Abhinav.

Talking about the video posted by Shweta on her Instagram handle, he said, “The video Shweta has posted on her Instagram account and it became a big scandal until I realized or could take a note of it. When I saw the news I was already branded a big villain by few publications. By God’s grace at the right time, I shared my response on social media. I just spoke my heart out on social media and shared my side of the story. I told people what has been happening to me. I wanted to tell people how I have been projected as a devil whereas I am just another father who wants to be with his son. I am just another husband and not a villain of Hindi films. Shweta had tried to mislead people and made me look like an evil person by sharing that footage and I thought it was very important that people should know what my struggle is. They should know what has been going into my life. For the last one and a half years continuously something bad has been coming to me from Shweta’s side.”

He further added, “I thought of clearing my name and showed the entire footage of that evening. In just simple words chronologically I just put out everything on my social media handle. I was the one to hand over the baby to Shweta on the same night and when I returned Reyansh to her she just vanished with my son. I wanted people to know my feelings towards my child. She keeps me away from my child for months but whenever we meet we share the same old bond and he becomes inseparable and she is telling everyone that my son is getting traumatized because of me. I don’t know why she is lying, just fight with honesty and truth. If she fights with honesty she will fight better and will have God by her side. This is what I believe in. If again Shweta does the same thing and comes up with a lie, I will again defend myself. It is very important now that I should defend myself. Enough of her lies. My heart is broken that my child is in the same city but I am helpless and I can’t be with him. I had to take the legal way. I am happy that HC was kind and they took note of my problem. I have been dealing with Shweta, her allegations, and her family since 2017 and I will not keep quiet. I will put my side out. I want everyone to just keep me and my son in their prayers so that we can have a simple, normal life.”

Abhinav also shared that post his video he is getting a lot of support from common people and is extremely thankful to them for their support, “I am extremely overwhelmed with the support I am getting from common people. I am getting messages from people and it is very touching. These prayers are what will help me finally be with my boy. I am very thankful to the people who are not just blindly following the star power. I just want to thank people because their prayers are what will keep me going and I am just waiting to have a normal life with my son like every father has and like how I had with my father,” he concluded.
