The couple want to be good parents for their son, Shaarav now rechristened as Jaydon

They were once one of the most lovey-dovey couples of TV world. However, we were shocked when reports of domestic violence rocking Shaleen Bhanot-Dalljiet Kaur's marriage made headlines last year. The lady has been living separately from her husband since a year and now they have filed for divorce by mutual consent. Dalljiet had accused him of domestic violence and dowry harassment but he denied the allegations. They have now filed officially for divorce. Dalljiet told The Times of India, "Rather than dragging on the matter in court, Shaleen and I have chosen to do it mutually. The court visits have been really depressing. After several meetings with (and without) lawyers and discussing many clauses keeping the future of the child in mind, we have reached a conclusion that divorce is best for both of us.“ Also Read - Shweta Tiwari and other Top 10 actresses who accused their partners of domestic abuse

She further added, “Shaleen wants to coexist in a happier way. He wants to be a good father to my son and I won't deny him that right. I won't let my ego and resentment get in the way of providing a better world to my son. Shaleen will visit our son at mutual convenience since we will be busy with our respective shoots. And I will make honest attempts to make them meet." The divorce proceedings will start from this week and is expected to be passed in six months time.

Dalljiet made a comeback to the TV industry after her separation from her husband. She did Swaragini on Colors and is now seen as Manjiri on Kaala Teeka. She has altered her name from Daljeet to Dalljiet. She has also rechristened her son's name to Jaydon. “According to his horoscope, his name should start with the alphabet `J'. Jaydon means `God has heard'. Both our names have been changed numerologically,“ she says.

Shaleen adds, “This last one year has made me realise that life is unpredictable. So, till the time the divorce doesn't actually happen, I can just pray everything gets sorted soon."
