“Chhaava” Star Ashutosh Rana’s Love Story: How He Fell Deeply for Divorced Renuka Shahane

Ashutosh Rana’s film, ‘Chhaava’, has earned over 100 crores and is the talk of the nation. Now let’s examine the actor’s actual romantic history. Chhaava has already surpassed the Rs. 100 crore milestone in just four days since its premiere. As “Sambhaji,” Vicky Kaushal plays the starring role, while Rashmika Mandanna plays “Maharani Yesuba.”
Additionally, Akshaye Khanna plays “Aurangzeb” in the movie, and Ashutosh Rana plays “Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite.” The film is an adaptation of the Marathi novel by Shivaji Sawant. Let’s look at Ashutosh Rana’s real-life love tale while admirers marvel at the film and its powerful characters that have made an impression.
Ashutosh Rana Defied Stereotypes by Falling in Love with Divorced Renuka Shahane
People had a variety of societal beliefs in the 1990s and early 2000s. Divorce was not viewed favourably in those days, and individuals who had already gone through a divorce were despised. But this title never applied to Ashutosh Rana and Renuka Shahane, the well-known actresses.
Few people are aware that Renuka Shahane was previously wed to Vijay Kenkare, a Marathi theatrical director. But at the Hansal Mehta movie premiere, she ran across Aushtosh Rana. Even though the film was never produced, it undoubtedly facilitated the two’s meeting and signalled their fresh start.
How Ashutosh Persuaded Renuka to Confess Her Love
Fortunately, Ashutosh’s friends were also Renuka’s friends, so they went to the preview together. They both had similar preferences and were attracted to one another right away. When Ashutosh approached Ravi Rai, the director, for Renuka’s number, he was told to leave a message on an answering machine and not to call her after 9 p.m.
But Ashutosh left a message on her answering machine to wish her a happy Dussehra, hoping she would somehow get in touch with him. The friendship began when Renuka replied to the message by sending a message to his sister and providing her phone number.
In an interview with The Lallantop, Ashutosh stated that they would speak on the phone three times a day for several hours. The actor was afraid that Renuka wouldn’t feel the same way about him, so he was hesitant to propose. Ashutosh made the decision to write love poetry in order to express his feelings. Renuka quickly declared her love for him when he read it to her.
Renuka Shahane Was Afraid Of Marriage
In 2001, Ashutosh and Renuka were married after three years of courtship, at the behest of the former’s father. Renuka, however, was apprehensive because her first marriage wasn’t enjoyable. Even though her marriage ended, she has learnt a lot. She had reached the age of 34 or 35 and had grown up by the time she married Ashutosh.
