Raja Chaudhary who has appeared in the reality show Bigg Boss 2, where he emerged as the first runner up, is now preparing to take a leap in his acting journey. Recently the actor has secured a role for the historical comedy series Tenali Rama, where he will portray the character of Chaudapa Raya. Raja Chaudhary's personal life has often overshadowed his professional achievements, with his high-profile divorce from Shweta Tiwari and struggles with alcohol addiction frequently making headlines.
In an interview with ETimes TV, Raja said that the controversies surrounding his life have taken a toll on his acting and expressed that he believes that he hasn't received work in proportion to his talent, largely due to the unfavorable image painted by the media. The actor says, “I don’t think I’ve received the amount of work I deserve, probably because of the negative publicity surrounding me. People who have never met me assume that I am always causing difficulties.
If I truly caused difficulties, why would the creators of Tenali Rama bring me back? Yes, I suffered professionally as a result of how people perceived me.” In continuation, Raja opened up about his battle with alcohol and said that he has maintained sobriety for several years. He overcame his struggles with alcoholism by finding a new passion in pickleball, which helped him redirect his energy positively.
He gave credit to his family for supporting him throughout the dark days of his life and said, “Ultimately, you live for your family. When they have a problem with you, you understand you need to change. I was able to work on myself after accepting my mistakes and deciding to surrender.
My family has been there for me through it all, supplying moral support. If I could change one thing about my past, I would never have consumed alcohol. It disturbed my life, and I didn’t handle the situations I should have.
” Talking about his family, Raja talked about his daughter Palak Tiwari, his child with Shweta Tiwari and said, “We stay in touch. She reaches out whenever she gets time from her busy schedule, and I do the same. I'm very proud of her.
” Raja Chaudhary and Shweta Tiwari were married in 1998 and ended their marriage in 2007. The reason for their divorce was domestic violence and Raja’s alcoholism. The couple had a daughter, Palak Tiwari, who made her debut in 2023.
