New Delhi: Actor and former 'Bigg Boss 16' contestant Soundarya Sharma is hitting the headlines for her rumored relationship with filmmaker and ex-housemate Sajid Khan, who also participated with Soundarya in the celebrity reality game show. However, she termed all those talks as rumours, adding they are not dating each other.

Soundarya said: "I'm deeply hurt and disappointed by these false stories linking me with Sajid. I have always admired him as a friend, mentor, and elder brother. It's upsetting that even in this day and age, women are subject to link-up stories. It's time that society stops looking at us through the narrow prism of who we are dating and focuses on what we are accomplishing."

The actress made her acting debut with 'Ranchi Diaries' and she also made a cameo in 'Thank God'. Soundarya was also seen in the web series 'Country Mafia' starring Ravi Kishan, Anshumaan Pushkar, Anita Raaj, and Satish Kaushik.

She also pleaded with the media to refrain from publishing stories that would harm her and her family.

"These stories were spread by a few journalists because I could not accommodate their interview requests. These stories have affected me and my family, and I am contemplating legal action. I hope we see some responsible media reporting going forward," she said.

Soundarya Sharma rose to fame with her appearance on the Salman Khan hosted celebrity reality show 'Bigg Boss 16'. She secured her place in the top 9 but was later evicted. During the show, Soundarya gained popularity for her chemistry and her growing adoration for actor Gautam Singh Vig, who was evicted during the early rounds of the show.

Sajid Khan, whose appearance on the show was opposed by many as a MeToo accused, managed to stay in the 'Bigg Boss 16' house for quite a long period.
