When I was told, 'I cannot stay with you anymore'; 8-9 months before that, I knew this was coming. I was prepared. For me, even though I know what is happening, at that moment I don't let it affect me mentally, so I focus on work, on myself, because I left Delhi and came to Mumbai for this. Personally, how one deals with it depends on them. I fortunately come from a space where I don't get shaken easily."Harsh on dating after separation with ShefaliWhile Harsh braced for the separation, he admitted that he did go through a phase of anger before eventually analysing the situation and moving on. He revealed that he even went on multiple dates after separating from Shefali. "You need to try and stay sane when a situation like this comes; if you are uncomfortable, live with it, don't try to show yourself as strong. I lived with it for 5-6 months, regretted, shouted, etc. One day, I saw that you are under stress, everyone around you is willing to listen to your story, and share their views. Once I spoke to someone, we discussed each other's issues, and later we went on a date; it happened a few times and I made it a formula. I went on multiple dates over 2-3 months. It takes time, you don't have to show your bravery, rather show what you are feeling," he said.Harsh and Shefali's relationship"Divorce is not a big deal," the actor declared, while also revealing that he and Shefali “acted quickly” and did not drag things out.
