Although Shraddha was a "lively and energetic person and on some days when she had fights with Aaftab, she isolated herself so that she does not have to lie", the colleague was quoted as saying. November 2020, marked the "first time when she opened up about the domestic violence that she was going through in her relationship with Aaftab" he said.
