During an interview with TOI earlier, the actress said that she gave her best in the marriage and also tried to make it work. However, things never fell into place, and as a result, the couple had to part ways.

“When nothing was working, I decided to take a drastic step and file for divorce as a final resort. The primary cause was domestic violence. We could have worked things out, but the physical abuse caused us to part ways,” she had told the portal.

Meanwhile, Vaishnavi featured in various television serials, including Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Bepannaah, and others.
