He wanted a photograph walking out of Court and she complied. Shweta had alleged Raja used to come home drunk, and beat her up. Raja has undergone treatment for alcoholism at Maseena Hospital a few years ago. She agrees that she’ll probably marry again, not sure whether it will the ‘Jaane Kya Baat Hai’ co-star Abhinav Kohli. Raja, on the other hand, claims he’s happy to be forever single.
A tumultuous marriage, ugly spats with his wife and rumored drunken brawls that got him thrown out of the city, but his ban is now lifted since late 2011. Raja is doing a play based on the Indo-Pak Partition. He is upset that as a compromise he had to given up judicial custody of daughter Palak. He really wanted her to see him perform on stage. Shweta refused. The court just sent Palak to a child counseling centre. Raja admits having been through hell. He had to report to the police station each morning and evening before and after TV shoots and inform the police when he was leaving. People have been judgmental without knowing facts, he feels. He feels it was unfair to extern him from the city. Raja says right now he’s without emotions. Raja promises to only focus on work to get audience acceptance as he acknowledges he’s standing at zero.
