The news came as a surprise to fans who had admired the on-screen and off-screen chemistry of the couple. Lataa and Sanjeev became household names through ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, where they played the roles of Rajshri and Vishambhar, Akshara’s parents.
Interestingly, their reel-life bond slowly blossomed into real-life love. Reports suggest that the two fell in love while working together on the show and later tied the knot.
The couple shares a son, Aarav, who is their priority even as they part ways.
Both Lataa and Sanjeev have remained private about their personal life over the years, rarely making public appearances together beyond their work commitments.
This is Sanjeev Seth’s second marriage. He previously married actor Resham Tipnis. Sanjeev and Resham were together from 1993 to 2004 and have two children: a daughter named Rishika and a son named Manav.
