"But it turned out to be a toy gun," said a source.
Though matters did turn pretty ugly at the Balaji studios, the incident served as a flashpoint. And the violent-tempered husband with a drinking problem has now checked into a rehabilitation centre.
"In fact, Shweta is now taking him to Delhi for further treatment. She's playing the dutiful devoted wife to the hilt, taking time off from her shooting to attend to him, and now accompanying him to Delhi," added the source.
So Shweta is ready to give her marriage one more shot?
A source close to the actress discounts that possibility completely, saying: "Shweta is only there to help her husband get back on his feet. The divorce is definitely on."
