Harsh and I are strictly platonic friends: Elena

Actor Harshvardhan Kapoor (inset) and his relationship status seem to be the hottest talk of the town. Actor Anil Kapoor’s son was recently linked with Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan, however, neither of the two have confirmed anything. But here’s a fresh rumour, this time linking Harsh with the Kapoor & Sons actor Elena Fernandes (above). The two were spotted cosying up in London.

According to sources, Goan-South American modelactor Elena and the Mirzya actor went out for a dinner date. Harsh was there to apparently visit his father, who is shooting for a film in London, and took out time to catch up with Elena.

When we contacted Elena, she rubbished dating rumours, saying, “No, I am not dating Harsh. For me, I see him as just my friend. Harsh and I are strictly platonic friends... We both are ambitious people.”

Elena, who has known Harsh for almost a year now, calls him one of her closest friends in the industry. “He’s a very sweet and genuine guy, which I think many people don’t get the chance to see. They just see this ‘Kapoor’. We’ve had dinners several times and we hang out a lot... London is home, it’s where my family is and where I grew up. This time around, I knew Harsh was already there. So, we just caught up like good friends do. We went shopping; we had some food, dinner... we were just hanging out.”

So what’s Elena’s current relationship status? “I’m seeing someone but we keep it private. He’s not from the industry, but his family is connected to it,” she reveals.
