New Delhi: The new internet crush Taha Shah Badussha, currently making waves with his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi,' has finally broken his silence regarding the dating rumours linking him with 'Laapataa Ladies' fame Pratibha Ranta.

Taha Shah Badussha on dating rumours
Addressing these rumours, Taha Shah Badussha spoke candidly to ETimes and clarified these rumours. He said, "I wish I could tell you that I’m in love but right now, my responsibility is to not fall in love but to give back to my mother and make her proud. Right now is the time to focus."
Taha also said that his primary focus is on his professional life. "The only relationship that I should be having is with my work so that I can take care of my family. But yes, I want to fall in love and have a family in the future. And for that to happen, I’ll have to first stand up on my own two legs," he added.
While Taha Shah Badussha remains career-oriented at present, he confessed to being an 'extremist' in matters of love. He revealed, "I've always been a man who would give his soul to the girl he falls for. When I fall in love, I’m a ten. But let me also tell you this that it’s very difficult to find love. Having said that, when love hits me – and it has hit me a few times – I’ve gone all out. I’m an extremist in that sense."
