Satish ji just referred to the biotik western ghats flora on the net. All the Diospyros species are trees ranging from upto 8 m to 25 m and so on. You have mentioned shrub are you sure it was not a small tree? Please check. After referring I still feel it comes close to D. candolleana and also D. augutifolia. It is not D. saldanhae which is mentioned as having leaves densely hirsute, and berry , conical or ellisoid ovate with dense rufous bristles. Both characteristics not matching your pics.
