Ketaki and I didn’t start dating when I was performing because of my professional ethics, I don’t date anyone on set. In December last year we met through a dating app and that’s how we got in touch. Managing time between us is difficult, but the onus is on him because he is busier than me. However, he has time to meet and sometimes we just meet near my house for a few minutes.”

We connected on a dating site, but I already know Rushad since he acted in Anupamaa and we interacted on the sets of the show. So, I never felt like I was dating a stranger.”
