In fact, in a recent interview, Shastri's mother Lakshmi had said, "He had a lot of female following. I used to receive lots of letters... At one time, there was a very good marriage proposal for him and when we asked him, he said, 'I have someone in mind'."

According to her, that 'someone' was Ritu. Rumours seem to suggest that Shastri may have moved out from the couple's apartment in Worli, Mumbai, to a 'bachelor pad' in Churchgate.
