Esha Gupta Talks About Hardik Pandya
Recently, Bollywood actress Esha Gupta, known for her role in Aashram, addressed longstanding rumours about her relationship with Hardik Pandya. She clarified that while the two were in touch for a couple of months, it never developed into a romantic relationship.
“Yeah, for some time we were talking. I don’t think we were dating, but yeah, we were talking for a couple of months. We were at that ‘maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t’ stage. It ended before we even reached the dating stage. So it wasn’t dating-dating. We met once or twice, that’s it. So yeah, as I said, it was a couple of months and then it ended,” Esha said as quoted by MoneyControl.
“Maybe it could have happened, but things fizzled out quickly. There was no drama or bitterness,” she added.
