Breakups and patch-ups are not just a part of our lives, but our celebs' lives too! The only difference is that celebs' love life happenings become headlines and ours, stay limited to our BFF’s WhatsApp chat! It is often said that prolonged relationships make a permanent mark upon your life and if broken, can make a person find it difficult to fall in love again. That’s somewhat the story of Khatron Ke Khiladi contestant, Ridhima Pandit (just leave aside the difficulty of falling in love again!).

Ridhima has recently been making headlines, thanks to her participation as a contestant in Khatron Ke Khiladi and a new love interest in her life (ahem!). Any guesses as to who it might be? He is one of the most good-looking and hottest stars of the telly town, Kushal Tandon! Apart from his superb acting, Kushal has always been majorly famous for his linkup rumours. Since the past few days, both Kushal and Ridhima’s social media handles have been grabbing a lot of eyeballs, thanks to the ‘lovey-dovey’ pictures they have been posting with each other, but now, looks like the cat is finally out of the bag, all thanks to Ridhima.
The probable 'couple' met on the sets of Alt Balaji's hit web series, Hum and ever since, this duo has not failed make headlines. In an interview with SpotboyE, Ridhima finally spoke about her relationship rumours with Kushal Tandon. She was quoted as saying, “Oh my god! Really Me? (Laughs). Kushal is like family to me; definitely more than a friend. What else can I say?” Well, now we all know!
However, this wasn’t always the scenario. In a July 2018 interview with The Times of India, the Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant star had rubbished all linkup rumours with Kushal and had stated, “We are just good friends. I have worked with Kushal and it's common to develop a good rapport with your co-actors. In fact, Karishma (Sharma) is also a part of our group. Why is nobody talking about her? Just because people know that I am single, the speculations are centred around me. Kushal is a large-hearted guy. I didn't want to celebrate my birthday because of my mother's health issues, and when he got to know about it, he decided to surprise me. That's what true friends are for, aren't they?"
When asked if there are any probable chances of them dating in the future, Ridhima had shared, “No, I would like to keep it at just that. It’s not that I am averse to relationships, but I am not focusing on it, because I have reached a point of fatigue on that front. There are times when I feel the pinch, but it’s momentary. Also, it helps that I have never been a die-hard romantic. Eshaan and I parted on good terms and we remain friends."

The man himself, had also reacted to his linkup rumours with Ridhima, earlier this year. He was quoted as saying, “We are great friends. All of us got along like a house on fire. The show wrapped up in six months and we did not know how time just flew on sets. We have great camaraderie. I would like to set the records straight, I am not dating Riddhima. People like to speculate. If I work with someone then I am dating that person, If I upload a picture with that person, if I am seen talking, I am with that person. I date everybody (laughs out loud). I have no other job in life. I feel like I am one mandir ka bell that everyone rings and goes.”

In yet another interview, he shared, “I get linked to every girl, I work or talk to. I have been linked to Ridhima Pandit, Karishma Sharma, everybody. If I put the pic of a wall, I might be dating it. In reality, hate the word dating. I like and love people. I like both the girls but there is no love. They are good friends. People feel comfortable around me, that is my personality. I can’t do anything about the rumours. Probably, I am prone to these rumours because I make girls comfortable. So, they like my nature, and we party together, then the dating rumours start.” But looks like Ridhima has finally decided to throw some light on it already, Kushal!
For the uninitiated, Ridhima was earlier, in a 10-year-long relationship with Bollywood superstar, Hrithik Roshan’s cousin, Eeshan Roshan. The duo had parted sometime around December 2017. Sharing details about the same, a source had revealed, “Ridhima and Eshaan first met when they were 14 and started dating four years later. However, after being together for 10 years, their relationship has now gone kaput. What’s endearing is that they continue to be friends. Many people might think that the couple parted ways, owing to Ridhima’s busy schedule, but that’s not true, as Eshaan had always been supportive of her career. Nobody is responsible for the break-up; it’s just that they have outgrown each other. For now, they are focussing on their careers.” (Must Read: Janhvi Kapoor And Khushi Kapoor Plan To Ring In New Year And Didi Anshula’s Birthday In Singapore)
While Eeshan and Ridhima still continue to be great friends, the latter has probably been struck by Cupid, all over again!
