MUMBAI: Both Jason Shah's personal and professional lives are still a topic of controversy. In addition to his previous relationship with Anusha Dandekar generating chaos, his most recent endeavor, Heeramandi, has become one of the most-watched shows on a worldwide streaming platform.
Shah commented on his past relationships in his latest interview, “The other person didn’t really understand me, and I felt they were trying to make me fit in their box.”
Social media users naturally pointed to Dandekar, who he had dated in 2021. She in turn took to Instagram stories and claimed he was lying, “At this point if you google my name, first it was me trying to fit someone in a box! Lies!...”
When asked Shah for his reaction, he jokes, “Honestly, I don’t want it to go on any further. I don’t want to comment as it gets childish to go back into the past and dig up all those things.”
He further added that he was misquoted, “What happened is someone asked me about Anusha and I had not taken her name or specified anything towards her. I just spoke about my past relationships in general. The way that article came out was me pointing directly at her, which was not my intention at all. As they say, why rustle up feathers?”
Additionally, he has begun to consider the future. The actor said in the interview with the popular news portal that he's fallen in love again. “It’s been seven months, and I want to keep it under wraps for now,” he says.
Does it bother him that people are talking about his private life? He states, “It actually works in my favour in the sense that people are always going to be talking about you. As an actor, you have got to understand that you have now become a public figure. Not a lot of people think about it, they don’t realise they would be scrutinised- whatever they do or say would be torn apart. I might say something really nice, someone will take two words and twist it to get more clicks. I take it with a pinch of salt. If you are going to get upset or angry, choose a desk job where you will fade out behind a desk nine to five. This is the life you choose.”
