“That’s such baseless gossip. Govind ji is a very senior and respected actor, and I’ve always looked up to him. We shot Gaurishankar Gauharganj Wale together, and those pictures are simply from our shoot days. People are just connecting dots without knowing the truth. There’s absolutely no truth to these link-up rumours,” she says.

She hopes that people would confirm things before jumping to conclusions. “Honestly, it’s funny and upsetting both at the same time. I wish people would confirm facts before spreading anything. I’m here to do my work and focus on my craft. These kinds of stories just distract from the hard work we all put into our films. I hope people stop making assumptions.”

She adds, “When you're in the public eye, even normal things can be blown out of proportion. But I’ve learned to stay calm and not let it affect me. I know who I am, and the people close to me know the truth. At the end of the day, I just want to grow as an actor and let my work speak for itself.”
