On Friday, Tina Tandon took to Instagram to defend her brother. She wrote, "Rumours float, but the truth stands strong. I don't usually address things publicly, but the recent remarks about my brother Kushal and his past relationship simply aren't true. At best, they're only one side of the story."

She added, "Since he's on the show and can't respond himself, I'd ask everyone to hold off on forming opinions until they've heard both sides. Fairness starts there. Thank you to everyone choosing support over assumptions." She captioned the post, "Speaking up so the truth doesn't get lost in the noise."

Her statement came after Shreya Kalra claimed that Kushal had DM'd her on social media and flirted with her while dating Shivangi after they shot a promo for their show Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka. Shreya further claimed that Kushal and Shivangi were already involved with each other at the time, although she was initially unaware of it. She claimed that she backed off as soon as she learnt about their relationship.

Shreya also alleged that when she later met Shivangi on the show's set, the actor told her that Kushal had claimed it was Shreya who had first messaged and followed him on social media. Recalling the incident, Shreya said, "I said, 'Excuse me! I wouldn't be the first person to approach any man. I've never done that in my entire life.' I gave my phone to her. She read my whole chat. I didn't flirt back and I didn't say anything. After doing scenes, she used to cry."
