'Being friends with ex is a red flag'

Speaking against maintaining friendships with former partners, Vikrant told News18, “Being friends with an ex is a red flag for me. Neither Sheetal nor I are friends with our respective exes. It’s not like ki dosti nahi karni hai but just by virtue of us being the way we are, we aren’t friends with our exes."

'Hiding relationships is shady'

Vikrant admitted that he and Sheetal never hid their relationship because they were both sure about what they wanted from life and from their relationship. He said, “Humne kabhi duniye se bhi nahi chhupaaya. I feel that people who don’t want to label their relationships or hide them are shady. If you’ve spent a considerable time together, maybe four to five years, and you aren’t wanting to share it with the world that includes your friends and family, that’s kind of shady."
