For those who don't know, Vaishnavi has even taken a break from appearing on television. The actress chose to seek a divorce from her ex-husband and actor, Nitin Sehrawat. She openly told the Times of India that she had tried making the marriage work. She said, "When all other attempts failed, I chose to take a drastic step and file for divorce as a last resort. The primary reason was domestic violence. While we could have tried to resolve our issues, the physical abuse became a significant factor, leading us to go our separate ways."

While speaking to spotboye.com, Vaishnavi Dhanraj said, "I was a victim of domestic violence, which Nitin imposed on me. I couldn't take it beyond a certain point. I reached a saturation point where I couldn’t bear it any longer. It was gruesome. How can you take such behaviour from your own spouse? That too, continuously. It was a very bad case of domestic violence. I even took him for counselling."

She further added, "One morning, it became very bad. He wouldn't have killed me probably, but I got so scared that I ran away from the house. He had beaten me so badly that my leg was bleeding. That was my last day as his wife - emotionally, physically and mentally. I eventually got a divorce in January, this year. He would say: ‘You deserve it’. He was not sorry about it. He would make up in some other manner but never with an apology. I see many marriages shrouded in domestic violence, couples stay together for their kids or society - but I eventually decided that I can’t remain in a marriage devoid of love and respect."

Vaishnavi Dhanraj and Nitin Sahrawat first met on the set of their Tv show 'Kitani Mohabbat Hai' and got hitched in December 2012 after a year of courtship.
