Actor Darshan Jariwala addresses recent allegations from his estranged wife, Apara Mehta, about their separation and remarks he allegedly made during their marriage. In his response, Jariwala disputes Mehta’s account of past events and characterizes her recollections as inaccurate, saying he knows his own version of the truth.
Multiple outlets report that Jariwala specifically denies a claim that he told Mehta she was the “ugliest woman” he had come across. He says such comments would not fit how he would discuss serious issues with a partner and questions why the dispute is being raised publicly after decades. He also suggests the issue relates to shifting narratives about divorce proceedings.
The reports add context to their separation timeline: the couple married in 1982 and have been living separately since 2003, with their divorce later dismissed in court due to lack of mutual consent, according to Jariwala. Jariwala further says he has moved on and confirms he is in a new relationship, while Mehta previously discussed the anniversary call and what she says Jariwala told her.
