Jason Shah break-up with Anusha Dandekar
In a recent interview with ETimes, Jason Shah opened up about his alleged breakup with Anusha Dandekar, shedding light on his personal journey and spiritual transformation following the relationship’s end.
Reflecting on the breakup, Jason expressed, “I have had a spiritual change in my life since then (his break-up), which has made me wiser. It was rushed. I didn’t really think about it. The other person didn’t really understand me, and I felt they were trying to make me fit in their box. And that is not going to happen, right?”
He further delved into the complexities of modern relationships, emphasising the importance of genuine communication and understanding. “A huge problem with relationships today, and one of the main reasons for breakups and divorces is that people don’t really listen to the other. They’re only trying to put forth what they feel. That’s the sad part. Only when you listen to what a person says, especially earlier on, that your relationship will last longer.”
