What Eijaz and I have is real, it was never fake: Pavitra Punia
When a celebrity declares their love on national television, it is often believed to be not-sogenuine and just for the camera. But Pavitra Punia wants the world to know what Eijaz Khan and she feel for each other is real. The latter professed his love for Punia on a reality show and she, too, has reciprocated.
“Our feelings are real. What we have is real. It takes courage to say something like that on national TV. When we were in the reality show, it was never fake. Even my friends asked how real it is, but let me tell you no one will ruin their image for publicity. We will take it forward slowly,” says Punia, who feels people doubt them as they had a love-hate equation on TV.
“When we were apart for over a month, it was the moment of truth for us. Our feelings didn’t change. Future toh unpredictable hai! We can only live in the present. It is a blessed moment. Love is when you know you are there for someone and that person is there for you. I love his aura, his personality and stubbornness,” she smiles.
She says as both of them are now shooting, they’re spending their free time together. Punia and Khan have met each other’s brothers and reports suggested she might meet his father, but she says it’s too soon. “Meeting siblings is fine as they are more like friends. I am a shy person, so though I want to meet his dad, but what we have is too new,” she adds.
Asked about hotelier Sumit Maheshwari’s claims that he was married to her and Punia says, “I don’t want to comment on my past. I only want to focus on my present.”
