When in the film and television industry, being linked romantically to your co-stars and fellow colleagues isn’t something new. Most of them brush it off while some get quite affected by it. It was the latter for television actor Kushal Tandon. Kushal was linked romantically with his web show – Hum: I’m Because of You – co-star Ridhima Pandit for the longest time. Though they have denied dating each other in the past, a few reports recently stated that the couple were indeed dating and that they have called it quits after 9 months of being in a relationship.

This certainly didn’t go down well with the actor, who released a statement on his social media following the reports. He states that there was no existing relationship to base the breakup on. He even went on to say that he has been single for a long time now and that it was all a PR stunt done for publicity.

The rumours of the two actors dating began when Kushal threw a surprise birthday party for  Ridhima Pandit. But, now that he has refuted the rumours, the rumours can finally be put to rest. We hope all is well with the two actors, who are quite close friends otherwise.
