Nyra Banerjee and Nishant Malkani set the record straight on their equation: We are just friends

Nyra Banerjee has been in the news for being trolled by fans of Kanika Mann and Nishant Singh Malkani, who featured as the lead couple in Guddan - Tumse Na Ho Payega. The trolls have accused her of crowding Kanika and Nishant’s relationship. Nyra and Nishant, who play the lead pair in Rakshabandhan, refute the link-up accusations and claim that they are good friends. Nyra says,

“It’s been two months of non-stop trolling by people, who do not know the difference between real and reel life. They need to know that Nishant and I are just doing a show together. I don’t care about being trolled as it’s become a part of life. I recently shared a screenshot of a comment posted by a troll who accused me of coming in between Nishant and Kanika on my Instagram account. Whenever I get cheap comments, I share those as my story. It’s my way of giving them a befitting reply.”

Talking about her equation with Nishant, she says, “My equation with Nishu (Nishant) is really cool. We’ve been friends for a long time. We had worked on a film six years ago. Since then, we have shared a great bond. We have a lot in common. I am happy that he is my co-actor again.” Nishant adds, “

Nyra, Kanika and I are friends. It is a norm for fans to dislike an actor sharing a great equation with one-half of their favourite pair. Our followers assume us to be a couple because we are working together, make a lot of reels and shoot pictures together for the show. There isn’t anything serious, it’s all in good spirit.

” The actor insists that he is single. He says, “I am single and that will be my status for quite some time because I am focusing on my work (smiles). I don’t have time to date anyone. I have heard rumours about me dating Kanika, but the fact is that we are neighbours, best friends and spend a lot of time together. So, people tend to think that we are a couple. But we aren’t dating. I am not someone who will hide a relationship.”
