Shweta Tiwari, the popular actress known as much for her personal life as her acting, continues to make headlines. Despite two divorces, Shweta, now 44, is focused on her children and maintaining her impressive fitness, often drawing praise on social media for looking younger than her age. Fans frequently compliment her glamorous style and fitness, sometimes joking that she looks more like an elder sister than a mother to her daughter Palak.

However, recently Shweta found herself at the center of social media buzz and trolling after rumors surfaced claiming she was dating an actor 18 years her junior. The actor in question is Varun Kasturia, who had shared a close photo with Shweta that sparked speculation and criticism online.

Varun, however, clarified the nature of their relationship by captioning the photo with a playful “Mother and Son” hashtag. The two had worked together on the TV serial Aparajita, where Shweta played the role of Varun’s mother-in-law. Despite this clarification, the rumors led to a flurry of reactions, with some social media users digging up old stories and speculations about Shweta’s personal life.

This episode highlights the challenges celebrities face when their on-screen relationships get misinterpreted in real life, especially when age gaps become a focus of public attention.
