Actor Rakul Preet Singh did not want to hide her relationship with producer Jackky Bhagnani, and that is why she made it official on social media last year. However, she said she would rather have her work drive the conversation about her.
Rakul says, “Anybody’s personal life is as normal as anything else in their life. It is just that if we were not actors, it wouldn’t be a talking point. In fact, I feel being in a relationship is the most natural progression for any human being. Like after parents, having siblings, and then having friends, you have a partner.” Rakul made her relationship official on Instagram by sharing a picture of both celebrities holding hands. They have made several public appearances since then, and openly admire each other on social media.
“We don’t want to hide and say ‘we are just good friends’. We want to acknowledge that. But do I want it to be a talking point at all points? The answer is no,” Rakul said. She added, “My work should speak. Both of us are on our own individual journeys when it comes to our professional sphere. And that’s it.” The actress said she does not read stuff written about the couple, or the scrutiny.
“I don’t read it. What matters to me is my job. I treat my job like a job. I am a girl who acts by profession. When I go back, I am a girl who has a very normal life,” Rakul said. “This is the conditioning I grew with. It is very important to disconnect from work and connect with people who are not from your workspace. Because then you are not delusional.”
On the work front, Rakul has ‘Chhatriwali’ and ‘Doctor G’ in the horizon.
