Talking about their love story, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Bharti had shared how Haarsh loves her inside out. She had shared, "We might have progressed in other areas, but the Indian mentality remains the same. Society still differentiates between girls and boys. Parents think who would marry their daughter if she gets fat. When a boy is fat, he isn't asked to lose weight, but a girl has to be slim in order to get married. Girls go into depression due to the pressure. They go to gyms and work out like crazy to lose weight, and that might not be easy for everyone."
