Actor Ssharad Malhotra has requested his fans not to 'deter' the image of his former girlfriend Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya after the actress informed him she was being abused by some of his followers.

Ssharad and Divyanka met on the sets of TV show 'Banoo Main Teri Dulhann' and dated for nine years before calling it quits in 2015, much to the disbelief of their fans.
