Speaking to YouTuber Siddharth Kannan, Vivek addressed the question of whether he was ever in a romantic relationship with Shah Rukh. He responded, "You mean a sexual relationship? No. He's not that sort. I don't know where the rumours came from." Vivek highlighted the context of their shared living arrangement during a period of career stress and Shah Rukh's impending marriage to Gauri, emphasising the nature of their connection as one of friendship rather than a romantic involvement. 

“We were living in the same house, my parents were there, there was tension, stress about career, he had to get married to Gauri, where would a relationship be in all of this? There was a relationship of friendship,” he told Siddharth Kannan. 

Clarifying further, Vivek expressed, "There was no relationship of sex. I would not even be able to think but... Unfortunately, for Shah Rukh because of his relationship with me, because he lived in my house, because of his relationship with Karan, a lot of people have tried to… as you become bigger in stature as a star, as a success, people say all sorts of things. It's not true."

Vaswani emphasised Shah Rukh's commitment to Gauri, stating, "In fact, from the time I have known him, he has been a one-woman man all his life. How many flings have you heard of? We have had one rumour of Priyanka Chopra, that also it's a rumour but what else have we heard of Shah Rukh? Nothing. He's not that kind of a person." 

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, who tied the knot in 1991, share a strong marital bond, and the couple has three children – sons Aryan and AbRam, and daughter Suhana.
