Shaheer Sheikh refutes link-up rumours with co-star Erica Fernandes

Actor Shaheer Sheikh says he is tired of the reports, adds that he’s just friends with Erica Fernandes and people should give them a break.

A lot has been written about Shaheer Sheikh dating his Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi co-star Erica Fernandes. It was also recently reported that all isn’t going good between the actors.

Shaheer Sheikh was earlier dating Indonesian singer Ayu Ting Ting.

However, Shaheer isn’t amused with these reports. “Erica and I are good friends and there is nothing beyond it. I hope people give us a break. It’s really amazing how stories are being cooked up around us continuously. I guess few new online portals have come up and they write whatever comes to their mind. There is nobody to contest them. I think this is not right. They should be responsible towards the audience and the people they are writing about. At least, they should get their facts right,” he says.

The actor also added that such was not the case a few years back. “There was always something concrete to write back then, unlike the random writing that is happening now, which has no connection to reality at all,” says the actor, who was earlier dating Indonesian singer Ayu Ting Ting.

“I think it’s time that people stop giving importance to such rumours. I know such rumours help sell TV shows these days but I can’t really relate to such things — shows having interesting storylines will always appeal to the audience,” says Shaheer, adding that he would rather concentrate on his work than let such news bother him.
