In this post, we do not aim to give the impression of incomplete happiness, we want to embrace the present moments of each individual. Only by knowing what one has gone through could we treasure their today versions.

Who is Renuka Shahane first husband?

Renuka Shahane director and actress was born on October 7 in 1966 to an Indian Navy father and a film critic mother. However, her parents divorced and her mother married another man but they soon went in separate ways. Renuka Shahane’s mother then began her long-term friendship with the film journalist Jerry Pinto while raising Renuka and her brother.

It might be due to the experiences of her mother that Renuka learnt to walk out of a marriage decisively if it didn’t fit her lifestyle. Her first marriage took place at an unknown date with a man in the industry. When she found that it failed to make her happy, Renuka decided to give it a stop.

Renuka Shahane first husband was Vijay Kenkare. He also worked in the Marathi film industry as a writer and director at the time they got married.

There was no record of Renuka Shahane first marriage date but it might be in the middle of 1990s after Renuka had worked in the industry for some years. She had her debut in the Marathi movie Hach Sunbaicha Bhau in 1990 before joining the Hindi TV Show Surabhi. Renuka and her first husband Vijay probably met each other while the actress was filming her debut film.

Though Renuka Shahane first husband and the actress both worked in the same field, they didn’t share common philosophy in marriage life. The result was they soon divorced after the wedding.

Renuka Shahane and Vijay Kenkare didn’t have any children with each other.

To be specific, Renuka said she first saw Ashutosh when he was playing a transgender role in Sangharsh. At that moment, the Bollywood actress heard him saying "Main insaan nahi hu", which caught her attention immediately, but they didn't have chance to talk to each other.

It was the film Jayati of Hansal Mehta that bridged them together. When filming the project, they were introduced to each other. From that time onwards, the lovebirds found similar interests in the other side. Renuka Shahane once told the press that she was always grateful for Hansal Mehta’s Jayati though the movie was not successful after that. It brought her a perfect husband till date.

Back in May this year, the couple took to their social accounts a throwback photo of their marriage 19 years ago, in which Renuka wrote “You and I…what a beautiful world…19 years ago today…love eternal”

Responding to his wife’s post, Ashutosh also posted sweet words as “You are my love requests, you are the meaning of life. You are my highest consciousness, and you are the extension of it. Forever yours, thank you from my heart.”
