“Never stop believing in love!” This statement holds absolute truth in the lives of some of the glamorous ladies from the small screen. These ladies after having failed in their first marriages mustered up courage and found love once again. Luckily, for most of them, it has resulted in happiness whereas for some, even second marriages also brought unhappiness. In this post, we will talk about 12 popular television actresses who married twice.
1. Shweta Tiwari: She is one of the most popular household names and the most-adored bahus from the television world. Shweta Tiwari’s life has been a rollercoaster ride of struggles but nothing can weaken her strong spirit. Shweta underwent physical abuse in her first marriage, but she didn’t lose hope. Instead, she overcame all her fears and gathered courage to lead the life of a strong single mother. She also overlooked all social taboos and embraced marriage again. Her tumultuous life has surely been an inspiring story to all. She was married to actor Raja Chaudhary from 1998-2007 with whom she has a daughter named Palak. Everything was going okay in her married life until she became a victim of social violence. This strong woman stood up against all odds and spoke up against this ill-treatment meted out to her. Eventually, she decided to end this relationship and filed for divorce. Soon after, she ended her marriage, she moved on completely and found love in life again. This happened when she met television actor, Abhinav Kohli. Shweta and Abhinav took things slowly and dated for 3 years before tying the knot on July 13, 2013. Abhinav has not only been an understanding partner to Shweta but he is also a doting and caring father to her daughter Palak. The couple welcomed a cute little baby boy on November 27, 2016 and named him Reyansh Kohli.
2. Shraddha Nigam: Shraddha Nigam was first in a married status with her ‘Dil Mil Gaye’ actor, Karan Singh Grover. This marriage lasted for about a year from 2008 through 2009. Media has widely reported and alleged that Shraddha and Karan’s 10-month-old marriage went kaput because Karan wasn’t loyal to Shraddha. Shraddha unable to bear the pain decided to move on and ended the marriage. The actress found love again in actor Mayank Anand in 2012. Meanwhile, her former husband Karan Singh Grover moved on as well and got into wedlock with Jennifer Winget which didn’t work out either, and then finally found love again with Bipasha Basu.

The couple also launched their clothing line at the Lakme Fashion Week in 2011 and things have been going great for this actress.

Chahatt who was going through a lot of mental torture ended this marriage. After her first marriage ended, Chahatt was in a relationship with actor Kanana Malhotra, but that even didn’t make to the next level.

They have named their bundle of joy, Zohar Mirza.
4. Sneha Wagh: Sneha Wagh is mostly remembered for her role in the serial ‘Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera.” She also got married twice and the reasons of her failed relationships are pretty much common to the above stories. Her first marriage to Avishkar Darvekar was not a peaceful one.. Sneha was just 19 years old when she got married for the first time. Being too young, she was unable to take decisions on how to handle her falling marriage. These incidents left such an indelible imprint on her mind that she vowed never to get married again. However, after a long gap of 7 years, she decided to try her luck again and went for her second marriage. This marriage to interior designer Anurag Solanki too ended after eight months. After witnessing two failed marriages, Sneha completely lost the interest to get married again.
5. Deepshikha Nagpal: Deepshikha Nagpal is another actress who has walked the aisle twice. She was first married to fellow actor Jeet Upendra but divorced him in 2007. This end of marriage didn’t end her hopes of falling in love all over again. This damsel found love in Bollywood and TV actor, Kaishav Arora. Deepshikha and Kaishav got married in 2012 and Kaishav happily accepted Deepshikha’s two kids from her previous marriage. The happiness in her second marriage ended shortly and soon things started being sour. She soon filed FIR against Kaishav for threatening to kill her and her kids. With this legal drama going on, something unexpected happened. Amidst all this ugly mudslinging, Deepshikha and Kaishav decided to forget bad days and patched up! Soon after the reconciliation, everything fell in place rightly and this couple began enjoying their happy days once again. The couple was even holidaying in Goa and looked happy as ever!
6. Dimpy Ganguly: This name may not be quite familiar to Indian households. For those of you who remember her, she took part in Imagine TV’s Swayamvar reality show, ‘Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ and ended up marrying Rahul Mahajan, son of late BJP leader, Pramod Mahajan. Rahul and Dimpy were married for about 5 years from 2010-2015. After many ups and downs, the couple filed for divorce in 2014 and it was granted in 2015. The lovelorn Dimpy found happiness once again when she bumped into her school friend Rohit Roy. Sparks flew between the duo and the next thing that happened was their news of marriage.

7. Archana Puran Singh: She played the role of Ms. Breganza in Karan Johar’s ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ to perfection. Archana’s first marriage failed miserably which made her lose interest in men and took a vow that she will never marry anyone. However, her second marriage to actor Parmeet Sethi was like a match made in heaven. Archana first met Parmeet at a common friend’s party and it was attraction at first sight for Parmeet. The couple had a live-in relationship for 5 years before officially tying the knot. Archana was older to Parmeet by 5 years but this did not affect the trust, honesty and understanding in their relationship. The couple faced a stiff resistance from Parmeet’s family.

They met at their common friend and late actor, Sanjit Bedi’s party and within a week, these two were married. Sounds magical, right!! Mihir and Manini had a very unconventional wedding that took place at Mihir’s living room. Tabloids predicted that this marriage won’t last long as the decision was made hastily. Similar to the story of actress Shweta Tiwari and Abhinav Kohli, even Manini’s daughter from her previous marriage, Dainoor has a beautiful relationship with Mihir.
