Off-screen, she is dating businessman Makrand Malhotra. Recently, reports claimed that the two had parted ways. Bring this up and she says, “Really? I don’t pay heed to gossip. We’re dating, but it’s all at a nascent stage. We’re still young. Marriage is too far-fetched an idea.”

According to the actor, any guy who falls in love with her, will dump her in no time. “I work like a maniac. I shoot for Balika Vadhu from 9 am to 9 pm. Then I have rehearsals for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5. Where’s the time for that ‘someone’?” she says.

So why did she agree to participate in the show? “I enjoy dancing. I want people to know that there is more to me, although I’m not trying to break my on-screen image,” she says.

“I wanted my parents to watch the first episode (of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5) with me, but then I realised I’d get too conscious. So I’ve asked them to watch the opening act without me, we can watch the rest together.”
