Raja does not mind confessions. He does not mind corrections. He takes every question on his chin and answers with a lot of emotion. Watch this heartbreaking interview on video!
You have been trending since Saturday night- and how!
Tell me how!
Well, it all began due to our interview with Shradha Sharma wherein she spoke about the issues she had with you in her relationship with you…
I read that interview. Yes, I have a drinking problem. That’s my only issue. I have seen several doctors, including psychiatrists.
Why do you think you haven’t been able to quit alcohol for such a long time?
I am in a loop, they say. I am a heartbroken person. I am fighting out my drinking problem.
Are you still in touch with your set of doctors?
Yes, constantly. I am taking care. I am being good to the world.
Your parents stay with you?
I was staying with them in UP during the lockdown. But the harsh truth is that if you are doing nothing, you are not respected. I devoted myself to them, but they felt they don’t need me. They said I should return to Mumbai as I don’t belong to the place where they stay. I left. They don’t trust me.

It all began (life changed) in 2007 when Shweta Tiwari separated from me. Then, I got into ‘Bigg Boss’ and several things started happening. Something turned around. I am portrayed bad but I am not.
Are you in touch with Shweta?
Are you talking about Tiwari?
Yes…
No, she has blocked my number. My problem with her is: Why don’t we talk it out? If a co-pilot and pilot jump, why should only one get the parachute? I didn’t get the parachute.
Are you in touch with your daughter, Palak?
Yes, but by God’s grace, she is very busy. Even i didn’t have time for parents; it’s okay.
Has it happened that you called her and she didn’t take your call and didn’t revert too?
I don’t call her. I only text or email her and wait for her reply.
Do you meet Palak?
No, I don’t. I don’t get a chance. Either she is too busy or she’s ignoring me.
How is your wife, Shveta Sood?
She is expecting alimony from me.
Have Shveta Sood and you separated?
Yes, and she’s asking me for alimony.
So another divorce battle in Court?
Yeah, again in Court! Let’s hope it settles down.
You separated from your parents. How are you managing?
I am into hospitality business. I am not living; I am surviving. But as far as finances go, my family takes care of everything. I am from a fu**ing rich family: I am a liability to my family.
Go on…
I recall I was out from ‘Bigg Boss’. The police was after me. Shweta Tiwari was after me. Every day I was at a police station. I was even exonerated from the city. Around that time, I met Shradha Sharma. She asked me to stay at her place. She gave me a room. She gave me the confidence to fight the allegations that had been levied against me. Shradha is an awesome girl. I will meet her very soon.
Shradha alleged in her interview with us that you cheated on her…
Everybody cheats. Even I did. It was a show ‘Emotional Atyachaar’, I remember. I didn’t know that they were recording this s**t.

In 2015, you were supposed to marry a girl called Shilpi…
I was with Shilpi for some time. I dated her. She suddenly turned around and started feeling that we had an age difference. She told me that my daughter was older than her.
And then?
So I told Shilpi, “Okay, then let’s part ways’.
Are you dating someone, currently?
I want to date someone, but I don’t think anybody wants to date me. Perhaps, because my credit civil score is very low.
If we talk more about how are you managing your life alone…
I was in ‘Bigg Boss’ for 98 days. It taught me to become independent. I do every chore alone. And then, there’s Instagram! Who has time?
Why don’t you take your pictures to casting directors and TV-n-film producers?
I am done with acting. I am not interested anymore in acting. I want to earn money now. I have also got into real estate business. I am living alone, but otherwise I am happy. Didn’t Priyanka Chopra once say that ‘agar watchman bhi banugi, toh sabse behtar gate kholenge’. Same here. Deewar bhi paint karunga to sabse behtareen karunga. I am just emotionally hurt with every fu**ing person I knew.
Don’t be disheartened. I am sure you will overcome your drinking problem…
I will. And I believe that one day my daughter will say ‘Come and live with me’.
