When Kasautii Zindagi Kay fame Cezanne Khan said Shweta Tiwari was his first and last mistake

Shweta Tiwari and Cezanne Khan made one of the most iconic on-screen couples in the history of Indian television. They had played the lead characters Prerna Singh and Anurag Basu in the show Kasautii Zindagi Kay, which recorded one of the highest TRPs in the small screen industry. 

 

However, in real life, the duo could not simply stand each other. During the show, the two reportedly had started dating, but, their relationship did not last for long due to their personal differences. In fact, it ended on a very bitter note. There were reports that the couple used to fight so much on the sets, that it resulted in delays and cancellation of shoots many times. They would not even rehearse for their scenes together even if it was important.

 

The duo also never shied away from hiding their hatred towards each other in interviews. In an interview with India Forums in 2005, Cezanne had admitted that he was dating Shweta at some point of time, but they are no longer together. He had said, "Yes, but that's the past and I have moved on. A lot has happened in the last few years, resulting in both of us drifting away. I would rather not go back and dig up issues that are better left buried. I would say Shweta Tiwari was my first and last mistake. I won't say more. As of now, I have nothing to do with her. She is nobody to me and I would never ever look towards anyone like her. I think I would never get close to anyone in the future who comes close to Shweta in any way."

 

Even Shweta had openly expressed her dislike for Cezanne on several occasions. In an interview with TellyChakkar in 2005, Shweta had said, "When I started working on Kasautii... I was new to the industry, and friendly with him. With the passage of time, layers of his personality unfolded and he turned out to be an artificial man whom I can't even like. I don't talk to him."

 

She had also said, "Cezanne Khan is the only one person on the Kasautii sets who invites controversies. He had announced that he would get married to Geetanjali to everyone on the sets but he never did. I was never involved with him. I have better things to do in life. He probably enjoyed the publicity by dragging my name everywhere."
