When Parmeet asked Gulshan if girls used to stay away from him because of his on-screen personality, Gulshan agreed and said, "Jab tak social media nahi aaya tha, toh koi ladki pass nahi aati thi because unhe lagta tha jo screen par dekha tha vohi personality has iss aadmi ki (Until social media came around, no girl would come near me because they thought my real personality was exactly like what they saw on screen)."

He added, "Aur jab social media aaya aur when I entered a party, hugged Archana, another heroine saw it and pehle toh unko a Vishwas hua ki film toh bhaag rahi thi aur yahan gale mil rahi hai, yeh kya nonsense hai. Then slowly slowly people understood that he is just doing a role (But when social media arrived and I entered a party and hugged Archana, another heroine saw it and at first, she couldn’t believe it — she thought, ‘The film showed them fighting, and here they are hugging? What nonsense is this?’ Then slowly, people started to understand that I was just playing a role)."
