Dalljiet Kaur Says Ex-Husband Shalin Bhanot Hasn't Been Checking Up On Their Son: 'Not A Single...'

Dalljiet Kaur, who married Kenya-based businessman Nikhil Patel in March 2023, has spoken openly about her marital challenges. In a recent interview with Galatta India, she discussed her ex-husband Shalin Bhanot, with whom she shares her son, Jaydon. Dalljiet revealed that Shalin has not contacted their son for over a year and hasn’t shown any interest in why she and Jaydon returned from Kenya.

Dalljiet explained, “With my ex, there has been zero communication for about a year, or maybe more. He hasn’t really reached out so I don’t have any communication. I tried to be amicable with him for nine years. Every time he would ask to meet Jaydon, I would never refuse. Very happily I made them meet because I thought it was good for Jaydon. I was very selfish like that. I was more than happy him meeting Jaydon.”

Dalljiet wondered why Shalin showed no interest in finding out what happened in Kenya that caused her and Jaydon to return to India. She questioned, “You don’t want to check on your son? You don’t want to know what happened from the horse’s mouth? You have my number. The world wants to know. You don’t want to know? But that’s his karma,” she said.

Dalljiet said that “not a single message” had come from Shalin’s end. “It was always a pattern that he would reach out. I made it a point for him to meet Nikhil. I asked him that you come to Kenya, stay with us, it will be good for Jaydon. He said yeah, yeah. And then gayab,” she added.

Dalljiet Kaur and Shalin Bhanot’s relationship started on the sets of Kulvaddhu in 2006, and the two got married in 2009. They welcomed their son, Jaydon, soon after. However, by 2015, their marriage took a troubling turn. Dalljiet filed for divorce, accusing Shalin of domestic violence, which brought a lot of attention to their split. She was granted custody of their son after the divorce was finalized.

Even after their separation, Dalljiet tried to maintain a connection between Shalin and Jaydon, allowing visits. But recently, she revealed that Shalin hasn’t contacted Jaydon in over a year.

In 2023, Dalljiet moved on and remarried Nikhil Patel, starting a new chapter in her life. They are separated now.
