The TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is currently showing the lives of its fourth generation, with Shruti Rawat and Shruti Ulfat playing the roles of Manisha Poddar and Vidya Poddar, respectively. In the show, both characters are devoted wives, but in real life, both actresses have gone through divorces and are now single. Despite their challenges, they are leading happy lives and are very active on social media, where they often share moments with their fans.
Shruti Rawat: Life After Divorce and Raising a Daughter
Shruti Rawat, who portrays Manisha on the show, announced her separation from her husband on Instagram. She had married her longtime boyfriend, Nikhil Agwane, in December 2016 in a traditional Maharashtrian ceremony. Their relationship, however, came to an end in July 2023 due to ideological differences. The actress revealed that they had different perspectives on life, which eventually led to their divorce.
Shruti and Nikhil have a four-year-old daughter, and despite the separation, Shruti continues to focus on being a loving mother. She remains active on social media, sharing glimpses of her personal and professional life, and fans appreciate her for staying positive through her journey.
Shruti Ulfat: A Strong Bond with Her Son Post-Divorce
On the other hand, Shruti Ulfat, who plays Vidya Poddar in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, went through a divorce in 2017 after being married for 20 years. Shruti married Alok Ulfat, who was 12 years older than her, but the relationship didn’t last. The two decided to part ways, but their bond remains strong for the sake of their son, Ojas, who lives with Shruti.
Despite the divorce, Shruti and Alok maintain a friendly relationship, and they often spend time together with their son. Their shared focus on co-parenting has allowed them to stay connected, and they even enjoy coffee together as a family from time to time.
Social Media Presence and Fitness Journey
Both Shruti Rawat and Shruti Ulfat are active on Instagram, where they frequently post reels and fitness updates. Shruti Ulfat’s dedication to fitness is admired by fans, as she shares videos of her workouts, often inspired by her co-star Anita Raj. The two actresses, though playing sister-in-laws on-screen, share a similar journey of single motherhood in real life.
