Meet actress, who Rekha once slapped on set, cried, unable to recover, disappeared, now living a…

She walked into Bollywood with stars in her eyes — and legends all around. Aarti Chabria made her debut in 2001’s Lajja, sharing frames with the likes of Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, and Ajay Devgn. But the real drama unfolded off-camera.

Rekha, in character, had to repeatedly slap Aarti in an intense sequence — something the young actress wasn’t fully prepared for. The camera stopped. Aarti’s tears didn’t. She cried for hours, shaken and confused. It took a heartfelt conversation with Rekha and director Rajkumar Santoshi to help her regroup.

Though she later featured alongside Bollywood heavyweights like Akshay Kumar (Awara Paagal Deewana), Govinda (Raja Bhaiya), and Salman Khan (Partner), her trajectory never quite took flight. Stardom stayed elusive. Slowly, quietly, she stepped away from the spotlight.

But the story didn’t end there.

In 2019, she married Australian chartered accountant Visharad Beedassy in a low-key ceremony. Four years later, at 41, Aarti stepped into a new role — motherhood. Her son, Yuvan, became her world, and with him came a new chapter.

Now, without the arc lights, Aarti Chabria has found a different kind of audience — online. As a fashion and lifestyle influencer, she blends personal moments with wellness wisdom and style tips across Instagram and YouTube. No red carpets. No box office buzz. Just a woman rewriting her narrative on her own terms.

Sometimes, the real story begins after the credits roll.
