Barkha Bisht shares she was accused of having an affair with Karan Veer Mehra; says ‘sabne bola ki issi wajah se iski shaadi tooti hai’

Popular actress Barkha Bisht and Karan Veer Mehra have been best of friends for years now. The duo not only share a great work relation but also get along personally very well. During Karan Veer’s participation in Bigg Boss 18, Barkha stood by Karan and rooted for him till the end. However, during a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan, Barkha revealed that people mistook her friendship with Karan and accussed her of having an affair with him. Many even trolled her for after she publicly supported him during Bigg Boss 18 and alleged that he was the reason behind her divorce with Indraneil Sengupta.
The actress clarified that she is not in a relationship at the moment. When questioned about the rumours linking her to Ashish Sharma, she responded, “Log keh rahe hain, I know. But like I said, bahot special log hain meri life mein. Jaise Karan Veer Mehra. Beech mein logon ne yeh bhi kaha ki mera aur Karan Veer ka kuch chakkar chal raha hai. A lot of people trolled me over it. Especially jab main usko Bigg Boss mein support karne gayi, sabne bola ki issi wajah se iski shaadi tooti hai. Kyunki itna Karan-Karan karti rehti hai. (I know people are talking. But as I’ve mentioned before, there are some very special people in my life, like Karan Veer Mehra. There were even rumours about something between us. I was trolled a lot, especially when I went to support him in Bigg Boss. People assumed that’s why my marriage ended—because I kept mentioning Karan.)”
Speaking about posting photos with Karan and facing trolls, she said, “Earlier also, I posted many photos with Karan. Someone wrote, ‘How does her husband allow all this?”
She went on to say that Ashish is a very close friend whom she has known for many years. She added, “But we connected at a time when I needed it the most. Log bol rahe hain date kar rahe hain. Maine toh apne relationships kabhi chupaaye nahi hain. Jab main kisiko seriously date kar rahi hoon, toh I have never hidden it as such. (People are saying we are dating. I have never hidden my relationships. When I’m seriously dating someone, I have never hidden it).”
When questioned about the possibility of their friendship turning into a relationship, Barkha playfully responded, “Potential toh har ladka ho sakta hai waise. Karan Veer bhi. (There can be potential with every guy, by the way. Karan Veer too).” However, she emphasized that her priority right now is her 13-year-old daughter, Meira, and that she isn’t looking to date casually.
