Actor Romit Raj, who was in a steady relationsh­ip with actor Shilpa Shinde eight years ago, doesn’t want to talk about her even after she discussed him on an ongoing reality show.

“It’s been eight years and I have never spoken about Shilpa. Whatever happened between us happened for the best,” says Romit.

He adds, “The minute my name was taken on the show, I was informed by my fans on Twitter. I don’t want to comment on it, as the contestant­s have been warned by Salman (Khan) sir to not get personal. And hence I expect my name will not be mentioned again. I am not watching the reality show this year.”

Romit, who married Tina Kakkar seven years back, says, “I will never talk about Shilpa in the media as I don’t want to disrespect her just to prove myself right.”

Meanwhile, the actor, whose last show was Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, is on the lookout for interestin­g work. “I am looking forward to working with Ekta Kapoor, Shashi-Sumit , JD (Jamnadas Majethia), Dheeraj Kumar and all other leading producers,” he says.

The actor is experiment­ing with his look. “I am sporting a beard and moustache now, because I want to change my chocolate boy image to a more mature one, like that of Ranveer Singh and Virat Kohli. I feel I look so good and different in this look. I want to play a negative role on TV and films, and this look fits best,” he says.
