In a video posted on his social media, Kohli claimed he was going from “hotel to hotel” looking for his son as he did not know his whereabouts. He said Shweta had abandoned him at a Mumbai hotel for her shoot for the show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ in South Africa. 

In a recent interview, Shweta refuted Kohli’s claims, saying she had informed him about her travel plans and had assured him Reyansh will be looked after by her family.

“I had informed Abhinav Kohli over a phone call that I am going to Cape Town and that Reyansh is safe with my family. My mother, my relatives, and Palak are there to take care of him. Plus, I will always be on video calls with Reyansh in between my shoot. I had informed Abhinav Kohli everything and I was surprised yet again to see the video he posted” she told Bollywood Bubble. 

“I really don’t understand the agenda behind it, given that he speaks to Reyansh in the evening over call for about one hour, every day, without fail as per the High Court’s order. To be honest, as per the HC orders he is allowed to speak for only half an hour but he speaks for a longer period but we never stop him. Yet he claims that he doesn’t know where his child is and how he is doing.”

She further stated that she was initially planning to bring Reyansh, his caretaker and her mother along with her to South Africa, but Kohli refused to agree to the same. While saying she has ensured that Reyansh will be looked after completely, Shweta said Kohli is “someone who is not contributing a single penny to the growth of kids”.
