Shweta Tiwari on how emotional dependence cost her in relationships: ‘I am there to earn’

4 min readNew DelhiJul 28, 2026 12:29 PM IST Shweta Tiwari once reflected on her relationship mistakes and on how she didn’t heed her mother’s advice. “A person who is looking to get married before earning will never earn in his entire life. So, don’t do that, my mother had said. Let him make himself capable. But I was like…why? I am there to earn. I will keep earning, but at that time, as a 19-year-old, you don’t understand. You can’t keep working all your life. You need a partner. You are not adopting. And I again repeated the mistake. What I was looking for in my partners was emotional support because I never needed anything from them. When you feel emotionally dependent on someone, they start taking you for granted,” she told Bollywood Bubble in 2021. DISCLAIMER: This article is based
