This shocking revelation unfolds against the backdrop of Vaishnavi’s previous struggle, having endured a toxic marriage with Nitin Sherawat. After repetitive domestic violence, she eventually divorced Nitin, whom she married in 2016. Reflecting on those troubled days, she shared with Spotboye, “He might not have killed me, but I was so scared that I ran away from the house. He had beaten me so badly that there was bleeding from my leg. Emotionally, physically, and mentally, it was my last day as a wife. I finally got divorced.”
As the CID actress bares her painful situation, social media becomes a platform for her urgent plea for help.
