The most I can say that she is a popular television actress and if I reveal her name right now then bohot maar padegi. When things like these come out then the focus shifts from a person’s professional life to his or her personal life. I don’t want that to happen for both of us. There is so much work to be done and dating amid that is challenging. It needs a lot of time and understanding for sure.” (The Times of India))
