Deepak Tijori's marriage faced legal and personal turmoil

Deepak Tijori's marriage to Shivani Tijori hit a rough patch in 2017. Allegations of an affair prompted Shivani to seek a divorce and financial support. Deepak contested the marriage’s legality, claiming Shivani had not divorced her previous husband. Deepak, an actor known for his roles in popular 1990s films, faced personal challenges amid this turmoil. Reports suggested Shivani threw him out of their home in Goregaon, leaving him without food and forcing him to stay with friends. As the divorce process began, Shivani filed for maintenance. Deepak claimed their marriage was invalid due to Shivani's previous marital status, complicating their separation. While Deepak remained mostly silent, his sister-in-law, actress Kunika Sadanand, defended him, stating he still lived part-time at their home. She dismissed rumors of eviction, noting he has a separate room and has been dividing his time with a girlfriend. As the situation grew tense, Shivani expressed her disappointment with Deepak, accusing him of crossing moral and legal boundaries. Though she didn't share details because of the ongoing court case, her remarks highlighted the depth of their conflict. Deepak Tijori has stepped back from acting in recent years, focusing on directing films. His daughter, Samara Tijori, is set to make her own debut in Bollywood soon.
