Harsh Chhaya and Shefali Shah`s split in 2000 was widely publicised at the time. After nearly six years of marriage, the couple separated. Harsh just posted a mysterious comment on Facebook about an actor couple who separated over 25 to 30 years ago. Netizens speculated that the actor`s now-deleted message was directed at his ex-wife, Shefali. A user shared the post and asked the same question.
Harsh just posted a lengthy letter on his Facebook account. In the cryptic statement, Harsh cited an actor couple that split around 25 to 30 years ago. He remarked that the couple`s separation was big news back then. He went on to note that over time, one of them avoids discussing what went wrong in their relationship, whilst the other person is always ready to talk about it.
Is actor #HarshChhaya talking about his ex-wife Shefali Chhaya (now #ShefaliShah) who is married to producer-director Vipul Shah…??

He wrote, “So an actor couple got divorced some 25-30 years ago. It was quite a news then. Over time, one of them avoids talking about it and passes it off as done and dusted, it`s over, move on .. but she is as if always waiting .. any new release or a stage that gets a mic in hand and she makes it a point to let the world know how bad it was even after two and a half decades.”
Harsh Chhaya makes a shocking revelation
On the same topic, Harsh stated that the actress, who divorced years ago, recently worked with a Bengali women director, to whom she revealed that her ex-husband battered her. The lady director had communicated this knowledge to a mutual friend of the former couple who was aware of the divorce proceedings. So, the common one corrected the facts and told the lady director that it was false information supplied by the actress, because it was she who fell in love with another man, who is a director and producer.
“Turns out, recently, a Bengali lady director who has made a film with the actress some time ago, unwittingly, was telling one of the couple`s old friends that her ex used to even beat this actress. The common friend, like quite a few of them, was close enough to the couple and knew about the whole divorce thing inside out, as did a lot of other contemporaries from then. So this friend let the lady director know that the actress is lying and simply walked out because she fell for the director-producer.”
Harsh went on to explain how the actress keeps telling the same story. Previously, their close friends kept quiet out of respect for the actress`s ex-husband, but now they find it aggravating. Some people find it hilarious now that they understand the other side of the story.
“Every time she now starts her story, the ex and the contemporaries from then find it amusing that there she goes again. Friends, too, kept out of this ever since at the behest of the ex, and everyone moves on anyway, but the friends are now a bit irritated that she continues with her rant to this day, so now they make it a point to let people know who think they figured it all just by hearing one side of it.”
Netizens react to the long post
A user took to X (previously Twitter) to publish Harsh Chhaya`s enigmatic note, raising the issue of whether he was referring to his ex-wife, Shefali Shah, who is now married to director and producer Vipul Shah. Soon after, netizens crowded the comments section. A user wrote, “There`s no doubt about that. Even after 25 years, Shefali Chhaya continues to talk about her divorce. Anything for a nice tale or to be a `strong woman`. How would she react if her ex-husband began to speak negatively about her?”
