I have kept them away from social media. I have become a little vocal and expressive after doing this show. I felt that I need to be honest with the people who love me. I have been in a relationship with Nazila for six months now, I felt like sharing the news with my loved ones. We have been together for six months but know each other for a year. She has helped me in my lows and was always there for me. I am really thankful and that’s one of the reasons we thought we are good for each other. It is going great,” he was quoted as saying by India Today.
The two had started dating in December last year.
