“We cannot avoid controversies, they are bound to happen. And it is natural also. But I am already in a relationship. I'm dating my Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai co-star Kanchi Singh and I am very clear in my mind about it. I am not looking for love inside the house."
On the show, Rohan had also expressed his desire to tie the knot with Kanchi once he turns 30.
