Apara Mehta is a veteran television, film and theatre actor who has been working in the entertainment industry for over four decades. Best known for her role in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, the actress recently opened up about her painful separation from Darshan Jariwala, recalling how he allegedly told her she was the “ugliest woman” he had ever seen. Darshan has now reacted to her claims, calling them a case of “false memory” and dismissing the allegations.

Darshan Jariwala on Apara Mehta’s remark

Reacting to Apara’s claims, Darshan said, “There’s a neurological phenomenon that, with time, your memory of an event keeps changing. I can say, very generously, that it’s a case of false memory. The way it’s been narrated, nothing like that happened. I’m not that kind of guy who would even tell, let’s say, a plain-looking woman that she’s ugly. It would be a very irrelevant remark to make. If I know myself well, I’d talk about how the person is inside, and not really from the outside.”
