After achieving immense success with this show from 2001 to 2007, she worked in serials like ‘Ek Ladki Anjaani Si’ and ‘Sita Aur Geeta’. Apart from this, he also showed his acting magic in Pakistani shows like ‘Piya Ke Ghar Jaana Hai’, but the actor suddenly disappeared from the limelight. Now people want to know where they are now and what condition they are in? Actually, he is in the headlines for a statement by Raja Chaudhary.
Affair with Shweta Tiwari and sensational revelations of Raja Chaudhary
Recently, in an interview given to Siddharth Kanan, Shweta Tiwari’s ex-husband Raja Chaudhary has made shocking claims about the breakup of the marriage and Shweta’s affair. Raja Chaudhary directly alleged that during the shooting of ‘Kasauti Zindagi Ki’, there was an affair going on between Shweta Tiwari and her co-star Cezanne Khan. According to Raja, he became suspicious of Shweta many times and caught her red handed. Once Shweta came in Sejan’s car on the pretext of shooting and the second time she was spending time with him by lying about dubbing.

After these sharp allegations of Raja Choudhary, once again the discussion about the old relationship between Cezanne Khan and Shweta Tiwari has intensified in the corridors.
Long break from TV and return to screen after years
After personal life controversies and initial success, Cezanne Khan took a long distance from the glamor of the industry. Unlike his contemporaries, he did not constantly compete for screen appearances. After staying away from the limelight for more than a decade, he returned to the small screen in the year 2021 with ‘Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki’, in which he played the character of ‘Harman Singh’.

He was sad that a great story could not reach the hearts of the audience, although he definitely got the opportunity to reinvent himself as an actor by playing this character.
After all, why does Sejan stay away from social media and limelight?
Despite the news of stardom and affairs, Cezanne Khan has always liked to live a very quiet and secluded life. While in today’s era, celebrities take the help of social media, reality shows and events to remain in the headlines, Sejan remains far away from all these things.
