Dalljiet Kaur, who was once married to actor Shalin Bhanot, has revealed how he has been absent from their son Jaydon’s life for a few years now. The couple, who first met on the sets of Kulvaddhu, tied the knot in 2009. Five years later, they welcomed their son Jaydon. However, just a year after his birth, Dalljiet filed for divorce, accusing Shalin of domestic violence. While she was granted custody of Jaydon, Shalin was allowed to visit his son.
According to Dalljiet, Shalin has been missing from their lives ever since she remarried Nikhil Patel in 2023—a marriage that itself ended in less than a year. Speaking to Free Press Journal, she shared, “One moment you’re there, the next you just vanish. That’s exactly what happened, and it was shocking. For me, it was always about what’s best for Jaydon. When the time came to redeem himself, he disappeared—not from me, but from his child. Jaydon looked for him in that void, and no child should ever have to go through that.”
She added, “Jaydon deserved his father. I gave Shalin that respect. After nine years, he vanished. That void is something Jaydon now has to live with.” This is not the first time Dalljiet has voiced her disappointment over Shalin’s absence.
In an earlier interview with Telly Masala, Shalin addressed the matter, but in a cryptic fashion. He said, “I never cared to study in school, why would I ever read any headline? I just read my scripts—they are interesting. I don’t Google. Why will I? I know about myself, and so do my parents. I don’t pay heed to any kind of headlines against me. I prefer to be happy.”
Dalljiet married Nikhil Patel in 2023 and moved to Kenya. However, within just a few months, she accused him of infidelity. Their marital dispute still remains unresolved.
