Controversy | Accused of Harassing her Father In 2015, Shweta returned from Germany to India and shifted to her parentsâ house. Since her motherâs demise, her father was living alone in the house and had hired two maids to take care of him. A few days after Shweta moved in to live with her father, he filed a complaint against Shweta at a police station in Mumbai. According to her fatherâs complaint, Shweta came to his house without any intimation and within a few days, she started ill-treating him. In his complaint, her father even accused Shweta of demanding a share of his property. Later, the Welfare Tribunal and Deputy Collector of Mumbai ordered Shweta to vacate her fatherâs house. Shweta then filed a petition in the Bombay High Court in which she challenged the order of the Welfare Tribunal and Deputy Collector of Mumbai. After a few hearings of the case, the court released an order, which read, check sources The Tribune "Till the father is alive, the singer has no right to claim a share in his property. Shweta demands her share. What is her âshareâ while he is alive? She has none. He (father) may indeed give his flat and all wealth away inter vivos. That is his choice. She cannot prevent him from doing so. So long as he is alive, Shweta has no âshareâ in his property. In case after case, we have complaints from senior citizens that their own sons and daughters are harassing them. In every case, the harassment is an attempt to somehow grab the senior citizenâs property in his or her lifetime without a thought spared to the mental or physical health, well-being or happiness of these seniors.â |

I was very spoilt from my family and also experienced a very warm family life. My parents gave us daughters enough freedom, as you see I hadnât had an arranged marriage, my three sisters though were all married by 23 and have their set families. And though my parents were separated, not divorced, they stayed together for the sake of the children, to grant us a functioning family, a warm home. I think this is also one of the reasons why I have a strong family sense and was willing to give my career up for an own family. When I decided to come to Germany everyone around me warned me and said that it could become difficult for me, to stay without everything one is used to in India, servants etc. and to do all the housework. By now I got used to it and I enjoy it, I even enjoy to take the trains and busses as well as learning the language.â
