‘Can’t a girl and guy be just good friends?’

Actor Sana Makbul admits that she often gets bothered by the constant buzz surroundin­g her rumoured love affair with actor Vishal

Aditya Singh. However, Makbul doesn’t let that mess with her head and spoil her bond with Singh. She tells us, “I don’t know how the dating rumour started. But because we’re good friends, it doesn’t matter. Also, we’re pretty clear in our head (about our bond). So I don’t let it impact our relationsh­ip.”

She further adds it doesn’t affect their individual lives also because they don’t have any partners to answer to at the moment.

The buzz around their alleged romance started when the actors spent time together outside of India during the filming of a reality show. And it comes under the spotlight whenever they step out in public or if they post pictures online. Adding fuel to the fire are also comments like “Happy married life” posted by their common friends.

Ask her about it and Makbul laughs, “They’re just trying to pull our leg. Jaise school aur college mein nahi hote friends, waise hi. They have a good sense of humour, and we also take it in a sporting spirit.”

However, Makbul admits there are days when these linkup speculatio­ns do bother her. The Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon actor says, “I’m literally like ‘a girl and guy can be friends’. Why there has to be speculatio­n about dating, every time? They can just be very good friends. Why is no one talking about me and Arjun (Bijlani, actor)? Arjun and I have a thick friendship, and I’ve posted more photos with him. So, why aren’t people talking about him?”
