Ranvir Shorey explains staying in touch with exes

Shorey reflected on the idea of keeping contact with former partners and said, “You shouldn't be so in touch that it makes your present partner uncomfortable. I'm not in favour of that at all. And that means a lot to me. Obviously, if you had a relationship with someone and if you bump into them, it’s not like you won't even say hi.

But yeah, I don't think it should happen that the ex is also part of the family.”Shorey stressed upon the importance of boundaries, saying casual greetings are fine, but an ex should never become part of family life.

Ranvir Shorey admits using a dating app

Shorey also opened up about his dating life and confirmed his presence on dating apps, saying, “Yes, I do use the dating app.” When asked for advice on finding good matches, he explained, “Requirements in a match vary from person to person.

For me, as a divorced single father, it would be different than what a 30-year-old would have.”

Ranvir Shorey reflects on timing of separation

The 'Sonchiriya' actor also opened up about the timing of his separation and its impact on his son Haroon. He explained, “I sought separation at the right age for him. I had problems even before that. But I waited till he was 4 years old. I didn't delay it anymore because of this exact reason. I felt that later in life, it will have a stronger impact on him.”Shorey further added, “I thought 4 was a good age to initiate this. Because at that age, the child also knows who his mother and father are. Also, they are at a more malleable age. If they have to adapt to a new way of life, it's less traumatic, I feel.”
