Relationships, Husband & Children

While she was in college, she started dating a Rajasthani boy, Manavendra Singh Shekhawat. In an interview, she said, [2]Bollywood Shaadis

Yes, I was in a relationship with Manavendra for many years and we wanted to get married, but life doesn’t end up the way you expect it to. We broke up and now, in hindsight, I feel that it was the right decision. I was too young at that time. When you are 22 or 23 years old, you don’t know what’s right or wrong for you. Also, my career had just started then, and I was not sure if I could balance both — marriage and a career.”

In 2013, she was in a relationship with Rishabh Jain, but later, the couple parted their ways. [3]The Times of India
