Sheeba Chaddha reveals reason behind ending her 11-year relationship post divorce: 'He was bringing nothing…'

Sheeba Chaddha, a single mother, recently discussed her post-divorce relationships and the qualities she seeks in a partner. In a podcast with Siddharth Kannan, she shared the reason behind the breakup of her relationship after her marriage and also talked about her thoughts on using a dating app.

When asked about her relationship, Sheeba told, "I was in a relationship for almost eleven years. After that, I knew I couldn't be in a relationship until my daughter leaves for college. I've pretty much closed myself off to that. Several single men and women are on dating apps, but I don't even know what a dating app looks like."

Upon being asked if she got tempted to be on a dating app, Sheeba said, "No, because then you'd have to go on a date and listen to all the chatter. I'm really uninterested in that."

When questioned if her relationship broke because of her daughter, she said, "No, that person was bringing nothing to the table and I tried too much because the kind of woman who loves too much."

Sheeba Chadha is looking for a meaningful connection and she prioritizes understanding, stability, and a shared world view, suggesting that she seeks a deep and lasting relationship built on mutual trust, respect, and compatibility.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam actress Sheeba Chaddha, recently shared an account with Siddharth Kannan of several incidents during the film's production, including one where a lightman was injured due to his behavior.

Sheeba Chaddha said, “I remember he tripped and fell, and he just stormed out of the sets. Unhone darwaza aise pheka (he slammed the door so hard), and there was an old lightman behind the door who got slightly hurt."

As Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was Sheeba's debut film, she was taken aback by Salman's temperamental behavior. Recalling her surprise, she said, “I was like, baap re, aisa hota hai kya with stars (Oh, my god, does this happen while working with stars)?"

Sheeba Chaddha also recounted another instance where Salman Khan refused to perform a required hug. The script called for a hug, but the actor's refusal caused a temporary halt in filming. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali intervened to persuade Salman to comply with the script.
