MUMBAI: Shweta Tiwari and Abhinav Kohli have been fighting the custody battle for their son Reyansh for a few months. The Bombay High Court has now granted Shweta the custody of her son. Abhinav has been given visitation rights. He has been given access to meet Reyansh for "two hours in a week in their building premises, in the presence of family members."
The actress opened up about getting custody of her son and said, "This is what I wanted and I am honestly satisfied with the judgement. Abhinav would follow me everywhere I went in the last two years. He would end up in Delhi or Pune or wherever I travelled with Reyansh for my shows and create a ruckus. It was mentally exhausting for both, me and my child."
In his petition, Abhinav stated that Shweta is a busy actress and doesn’t have enough time for Reyansh. Talking about it, the actress asserted that questioning her for being a working mother would be raising a question to the rights of every single parent who has to work for a living.
“I work for my family and to give them a good lifestyle, what’s wrong in that? But he kept using that against me and I am glad that the court dismissed those allegations,” the diva added.
Abhinav said, “It is a huge relief for me as I have been fighting the custody battle for months. I haven't met my son for 11 months, so I am elated to finally be able to see him."
The Court had said, “There was no material, which prima facie indicates that the custody of the child with the mother was detrimental to his welfare and development. At such a tender age, a child needs the company of the mother and hence keeping him in her custody appears more natural and conducive for the development of the child.”
