According to the reports, on-screen lovebirds Anurag and Prerna, a.k.a Cezanne and Shweta were dating each other in real life too. But soon their relationship ended due to their personal differences. And in fact, it ended on a bitter note, so much so, that they can’t stand each other now. Apparently, Cezanne and Shweta’s fights increased on the sets of the show which eventually resulted in delays and cancellation of shoots many times. They wouldn’t even rehearse their scenes together, despite being it an important one!
In an interview with India Forums in 2005, Cezanne had admitted that he was dating Shweta at some point in time, but they are no longer together. Cezanne was quoted as saying, "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."

Shweta and Cezanne never shied away from showcasing their hatred for each other in the interviews. Even Shweta expressed her dislike for her Kasautii Zindagii Kay co-star, and once stated in an interview, "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."

Shweta went on to say, "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."

Indian television's favourite bahu, in a throwback interview, talked about herself, her personal life and career to TellyChakker. When Shweta was asked how she is as a person, she shared, “I am friendly but at the same time, I prefer to be a loner. I am an optimistic person who loves to take life as it comes.” Shweta, who was then married to Raja Chaudhary, opened up about being surrounded by the controversies. She mentioned, “I am unaffected by them. People who matter to me know me. My family and husband have never asked a single question about any gossip or controversies surrounding me. I do my work and mind my own business.” (Also Read: 6 Television And Bollywood Mommies Who Suffered From Depression During And After Pregnancy)
