Harsh Chhaya Talks Honestly About Separation And Emotional Healing
Actor Harsh Chhaya has once again opened up about his divorce from actress Shefali Shah, and this time, he spoke with complete honesty about the emotional phase that followed their separation. During a recent conversation with Lallantop, the actor reflected on relationships, heartbreak, healing, and why he believes divorce should not always be treated like a social taboo.
Harsh Chhaya revealed that he had mentally prepared himself long before the marriage officially ended. According to the actor, he could already sense that the relationship was slowly reaching a dead end almost 8-9 months before the separation actually happened.
He shared that when Shefali Shah told him she could no longer stay in the marriage, it did not come as a complete shock because somewhere deep inside, he already knew things were falling apart.
Harsh Chhaya Says He Focused On Work Instead Of Breaking Down
Talking about how he handled that difficult phase emotionally, Harsh Chhaya explained that he chose to focus on work and self-growth instead of letting the situation completely destroy him mentally.
The actor said he came to Mumbai from Delhi with dreams and ambitions, so rather than collapsing emotionally, he tried to keep himself occupied professionally. He admitted that every person handles heartbreak differently, but personally, he has always been someone who does not get shaken easily.
At the same time, Harsh also made it clear that suppressing emotions is never the right approach.
“Don’t Pretend To Be Strong” — Harsh Chhaya Gets Real About Pain
One of the most emotional moments from the interview came when Harsh Chhaya spoke about accepting pain instead of hiding it behind fake strength.
The actor admitted that after the divorce, he spent nearly 5-6 months dealing with regret, anger, frustration, and emotional confusion. He openly said that he shouted, felt broken internally, and allowed himself to experience every uncomfortable emotion rather than pretending everything was normal.
According to Harsh, people should stop acting brave all the time after a breakup and instead allow themselves to genuinely feel what they are going through.
Harsh Chhaya Reveals He Went On “Multiple Dates” After Divorce
Harsh Chhaya also surprised many fans after revealing that he went on several rebound dates during that emotional period.
The actor explained that once he started opening up to people around him, conversations naturally led to emotional connections. He shared that sometimes people listened to his story, discussed their own struggles, and eventually those interactions turned into dates.
Harsh admitted that over 2-3 months, he went on multiple dates and slowly started using social interaction as a way to emotionally recover from the heartbreak.
For him, healing was not about pretending to move on instantly. Instead, it was about understanding emotions, talking openly, and giving himself time to recover naturally.
“Two People Can’t Stay Together 24/7”
During the discussion, Haarsh Chhaya also spoke strongly about society’s perception of divorce. He said many people unnecessarily continue unhappy marriages because of social pressure, even when the relationship has clearly stopped working.
The actor shared that he personally does not consider divorce a “big deal” if two people are no longer happy together. In fact, he believes it is better to separate sooner rather than dragging a broken relationship for years.
Harsh even added that no two people can realistically stay together 24/7 without conflicts, saying he himself cannot imagine living with his own clone every single day of the year.
