'Sasural Simar Ka' actress Avika Gor BREAKS SILENCE on rumoured AFFAIR with Manish Raisinghan!

Popular TV actress Avika Gor, who shot to fame with the hit Colors show Balika Vadhu has been grabbing the eyeballs for her alleged affair with her Sasural Simar Ka co-star for quite sometime. The actor plays her husband in the daily soap.

The duo have often been spotted together at various events and their social media pages abound in pictures of them together. Now, Avika and Manish have finally opened up on their equation and have slammed the rumours of them dating each other.

In a recent interview with Bombay Times, both of them spoke about how their relationship has evolved with the passage of time. Manish was quoted saying, "The gossip affected me in the beginning and I was stupid enough to maintain a distance from Avika. I became conscious and irritable during that phase. The rumour made me sick. But later, I realised that if my intentions are clear, why should I treat her any differently? I have never dated her; she is almost half my age. We are compatible, but I have never seen her that way. Anyway, such loose talks don’t affect me anymore and we meet for work now.”

Speaking about the rumours, Avika added, "Manish is a just few years younger than my father, so there is no scope for any romantic involvement. We share a unique bond of friendship, which is inexplicable. It is based on understanding, respect, honesty and maturity. We are BFFs and he is a strong support system. I call him Shin Chan (the popular comic character) and he calls me Mitzi (Shin Chan’s mother) till date.We have maintained our friendship in a dignified way till now. We are good friends and will always be, but I have no intention to date Manish.”
