Sumeet Vyas, who separated from his wife Shivani Tanksale in 2017, has refuted rumours of an engagement with his current beau, Ekta Kaul.
A photo in traditional Indian attire of Sumeet and Ekta surfaced on the internet, which presumably led to speculations about their engagement. Sumeet was seen posing with Mere Angne Mein actor, Ekta Kaul at a function. “We were dressed traditionally as we were attending a wedding and people mistook it for an engagement,” informed Sumeet to Mumbai Mirror.
The Permanent Roommates actor released a statement clearing the air.
I would like to put an end to all the rumours and speculation around my engagement to actress, Ekta Kaul. The rumours are false. We are currently dating and are enjoying this phase of our relationship. As both of us are busy with our careers, we would like to spend more time together before taking the next step. I would request the media to not speculate and spread false news regarding the same.Sumeet Vyas, Actor
TV actor, Ekta Kaul had earlier posted another photo on her Instagram which might’ve contributed to the speculations.
Elaborating on his marriage to Ekta, Sumeet told Mumbai Mirror that it’s too early to have that conversation.
“I had come out of a marriage, which was a sensitive issue, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get into another relationship. Now, our families have spoken to each other as well and everyone is happy,” he said.
Sumeet, who stars opposite Kareena Kapoor in upcoming flick, Veere Di Wedding, also spoke about his divorce to Shivani and their friendship.
There have been other rumours about my divorce that have come up post the launch of the ‘Veere di Wedding’ trailer. I would also like to confirm my divorce to actress Shivani Tanksale took place in 2017, it happened amicably and we both continue to remain friends. There is a friendship that has been there for many years and we split ways with a lot of respect.
