For the first time ever, television sensation Shaheer Sheikh went public about his relationship with Indonesian singer Ayu Ting Ting.
The actor dated Ayu, a single mother, for four months; but the relationship was not for keeps.
Formerly, Shaheer was dating Smiley Suri. However, neither he nor Smiley ever acknowledged the fact in the press. With Ayu, it was different and Shaheer was comfortable talking about her in the media.
Although the pair parted ways about three months ago, it was only recently that he chose to break his silence on the break-up.
In conversation to an entertainment website, Shaheer said that Ayu helped him settle down in Indonesia and helped him become comfortable with the culture and language of the country. Moreover, she was a “transparent and helpful” person. Sharing the reasons behind the fallout, the Mahabharat star said, “Even though she spoke English, we could hardly understand each other’s emotions.” He added that people near to them did not want them to be together because she was a single mom. Soon, misunderstandings led to bigger issues and eventually they chose to break-up.
The actor, who has now back to India, is recovering from the heart break. However, he told the website clearly that break-ups and divorces are not his thing.
Shaheer fans can delight in the fact that he will soon be seen playing a man called Dev in Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi, a romance drama with a twist.
