Further, the host asked Apoorva if there was a heartbreak, and the latter replied with a 'No'. Sharing the details, the filmmaker stated that Dia came into his life when he was going through a difficult phase, and she supported him despite being a big star. However, Apoorva thanked Dia for her decision to be with a flop director and said:
“Not at all. She was very good to me, she supported me, and she came into my life when Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost had tanked, and she was a big star. So, hats off to her yaar, she decided to be with a flop [director].
In the same interview, Apoorva also shared that he hasn’t met Dia's husband, Vaibhav Rekhi yet, but he often meets the actress' mom. Talking bout his bond with Dia, the filmmaker revealed that she wished him when the promo of his film, Crackdown was released and added:
“I haven’t met her husband yet. But yeah, whenever I meet her mom, we meet very nicely. When Crackdown’s promo released, Dia wished me. So, you know friendships are very important because in this industry a lot of things work with goodwill. Friendship se bahut saari cheezein chal jaati hai.”
