I found out about Tina three years ago through a mutual friend. We exchanged our contact information and kept in touch via email, but we never spoke or met.

Romiit proposed to her. And my daughter has accepted his proposal because he is a good person. Both of them decided to get married. But after some time they realized that their opinions were very different. In fact, their two families are also very different. And it is very clear that for a long-term relationship, you cannot compromise on such things. That is why my daughter decided to call off the marriage.

It gives me immense satisfaction as an actor when people cry their hearts out over Varun’s sudden death. I am satisfied with the type of mail I have received over the past few days. There are girls who say that they have cried a lot seeing Varun’s death. I have to thank Dada for teaching me every nuance that Varun follows. Only because of him, Varun as a character can grow. Also, the creative team has given the right impact and bond between KD and Varun. It’s really KD Pathak’s performance, but seeing the amount of love Varun gets makes me happy.”
