Actress Lataa Saberwal, best known for her role as Rajshri Maheshwari in the popular television series "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai," has announced her separation from her husband, Sanjeev Seth. The news was shared by Lataa on her social media on Saturday, June 21, 2025, where she requested privacy and peace for herself and her family during this difficult time.
Lataa and Sanjeev's relationship began on the sets of "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai," where they portrayed the roles of husband and wife, Vishambharnath and Rajshri Maheshwari, respectively. Their on-screen chemistry translated into a real-life romance, and the couple tied the knot in 2009. Together, they have a son named Aarav.
In her social media post, Lataa expressed gratitude to Sanjeev for their son and wished him well for his future. She wrote, "After a prolonged silence… I declare that I (Lataa Saberwal) have been separated from my husband (Mr. Sanjeev Seth). I give gratitude to him for giving me a lovely son. I wish him all the best for his future life. I request everyone to please respect my and my family's peace and not to ask any questions or call regarding this.”
The couple's on-screen pairing as Rajshri and Vishambharnath Maheshwari was widely loved by audiences, who admired their portrayal of supportive and understanding parents. They also reprised their roles in the show's spin-off, "Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke". In 2013, Lataa and Sanjeev participated in the celebrity dance reality show "Nach Baliye 6," offering fans a glimpse into their off-screen relationship and bond.
Sanjeev Seth was previously married to actress Resham Tipnis from 1993 to 2004, and has two children, Rishika and Manav, from that marriage.
Lataa Saberwal has been a part of several television shows, including "Shaka Laka Boom Boom," "Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki," and "Ishq Mein Marjawan." In 2021, she announced her decision to quit daily soaps to focus on digital platforms and personal growth. Despite stepping away from daily television, she remains a respected figure in the television industry. More recently, in March 2023, Lataa shared that she had been diagnosed with early nodules on her voice box and was advised to take complete voice rest.
The announcement of their separation has been met with support and empathy from fans and colleagues, many of whom have applauded Lataa's grace and strength during this personal transition. The actress has requested that everyone respect her privacy and that of her family as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
