They say where there’s smoke there’s fire. And when a popular television actor clams shut when questioned about his friendship with a co-star, it seems there’s more to the picture than meets the eye. Mohit Raina, who has been doing a great job playing Lord Shiva in Life OK’s mythological serial Mahadev, is a tough cookie. He evades publicity and even after he agrees to talk, instead of refusing to comment on his personal life, terminates the interview.

When asked about his chemistry with both the leading ladies on the show Mouni Roy and Sonarika Bhadoria, he says, “I think both of them play their parts correctly. It is up to the audiences to decide which one they like better. As an actor, the pairing with a co-star doesn’t matter. The audience has to like the pair.” Though viewers love the pair of Sonarika, as Parvati, with Mohit, they appreciated Mouni’s role as Sati in the show much more, which led to the rumours that the two were dating each other. Is it true? “I don’t what to say about it. We are co-stars and good friends. That’s it,” Mohit says.

Apparently, the duo still keep in touch, but instead of answering the question, Mohit ended the interview saying he thought we would be talking about the Amrit Manthan track, which will be aired on the show. “I don’t like answering personal questions,” he says.
