Amol Parashar BREAKS Silence On Dating Rumours With Konkona Sensharma: 'Agar Shaadi Hogi...'
Last Updated: Amol Parashar seemed amused at how his personal life has grabbed more attention than his work. Actor Amol Parashar has finally addressed the dating rumours linking him with Wake Up Sid star Konkona Sen Sharma. The buzz around their alleged relationship started gaining momentum after the two were spotted together at a screening of Amol's latest web series. While the two have maintained silence so far, Amol has now chosen to speak up—though with caution. In an interview, Amol clarified, 'Nobody asked me. Instead, everyone started bringing their assumptions to the table. Earlier, I would react to every news, but now I have learnt to just move on. Agar kuch hoga aur mujhe share karna hoga, toh I will share it on social media myself." On being asked about their dynamic, Amol avoided labels, instead focusing on mutual happiness. 'See, you have people in life. Kisi se aap close hote hain, aur kisi se aap zyaada close hote hain. Naming every relation is not necessary… Aap khush, samne waala khush aur gharwale khush, that's it!" He also recalled a similar situation with his Sardar Udham co-star Vicky Kaushal. 'I remember something similar happening with Vicky, and I was like: 'Bhai, bata do sabko because people are asking me'. And he was like: 'I will, at the right time'." Amol seemed amused at how his personal life has grabbed more attention than his work. 'Logon ko mazaa aa raha hai. Aap karlo kitni bhi acting, views link-up news ko hi milte hain," he quipped. On marriage, the actor said he's open to surprises. 'Kuch bhi ho sakta hai. I love surprising myself, and my family knows that. Agar shaadi hogi, toh I, too, will post it on Insta (laughs), as that's what matters to everyone. But as of now, I have nothing to talk about." Work-wise, Amol has made a return to theatre after a decade with his solo play Besharam Aadmi. 'It's after ten years I am back to theatre… Already done seven shows." He also hinted at a second season of Gram Chikatsalay, adding, 'My character dies in Kull, but in the other series I'm very much alive." First Published:
