About a month ago, we were shocked to see on social media that actress Shweta Basu Prasad had officially announced her split with husband Rohit Mittal. She had written on Instagram, “Hi everyone, Rohit Mittal and I have mutually decided to part our ways and end our marriage.”
The actress had remained mum thereafter. We understand it wasn’t an easy time for her. But the fighter that she, Shweta has now decided to look ahead.
Shweta confirms that she and Rohit have filed for divorce. “Yes, we have filed for a legal separation.” Ask her about what led to the separation in just a year (Shweta and Rohit became man and wife on Dec 13, 2018). The Tashkent Files actress says with utmost grace, “Rohit and I are perfectly cordial and friendly. As I had mentioned in my post it was a mutual decision. He has always been very supportive of my acting career and I am his fan, he is a wonderful filmmaker and I hope we work together some day. We had 5 years of a very loving, healthy and loyal relationship, we just decided to end the marriage and remain friends, that’s it.”
Refraining from talking about the bone of contention, Shweta adds, “Of course I am not closed to the idea of falling in love again but right now my only focus is my career and my work. Love happens organically great, if it doesn’t happen then no problem. Not looking for it.”
We also asked her if she has hired a manager or publicist to strategise her career to which she says, “I do socialise a lot. Yes I don’t have a PR as I don’t care about getting snapped at airports much. I don’t get the idea of paying to get stalked or lame interviews about my lipstick and bags and why coconut water is good for health.”
But life is not full of only thorns, here comes the roses. Shweta says that her career is zooming. “There are 5 projects that are releasing this year! 2020 I have my hands full. There will be Shukranu opposite Diveyanndu Sharma, a reliance film set in the 70’s during the emergency. Then there is Sudhir Mishra’s Serious Men, a Netflix original film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui. 2 web series and one more film that I had shot for more than a year ago called Jamun with Raghubeer Yadav. In Jamun, I play a cross-eyed girl (squint), Raghubir Yadav plays my father who is trying to find me a groom, but because of her condition, she is not getting a suitor. It’s a nice one,” she concludes.
