Quoted by Koimoi, he added, “My PR team intervened to ask about the source to which they clearly refused. A week late, a story is printed with baseless imaginary stories again quoting some “source” from our inner circle. Our families have been mentally harassed because of this. We want a public apology from the publication and the author of this article for false accusations and trusting unreliable sources. We want the so-called source’s name, too.”
In the report HT, quoted their source saying that the couple has “individualistic personalities” which is one of the reasons behind their issues from the start. The source had added that while their relationship had started with a lot of love, they have hit a rough patch and are working towards their marriage as it has left their families worried.
On the work front, Sharad is all set to make his OTT debut with ‘Surkh’.
