The only relationship I was in was before I entered the TV industry. I dated a girl for 9 years that was my only relationship. It was when I was in class 10th and today if I am an actor it is because of her because she liked Shah Rukh Khan a lot. I feel bad that media ignores my work and only writes about my link-ups. I have worked really hard to reach where I am today. I have come to Mumbai to work not to have affairs. I work really hard for all my shows and feel disappointed when my hard work gets sidelined. I genuinely want people to talk about my work. All my co-stars are just friends and these are just rumours.” Karishma & Pearl in 'Nagarjuna..' (Photo: Web) On being asked about the reports of him dating Karishma Tanna, he further told TOI that, “Karishma is a very senior actor. She is very senior to me and I respect her a lot as a friend. We are working together but we are not dating each other. She has been in the industry for such a long time.” Karishma Tanna REPLACES Pearl V Puri's rumoured ex-girlfriend opposite Vivek Dahiya in Ekta Kapoor's next show!
