Urvashi Dholakia doesn’t know whether to be upset or amused at reports of her ‘affair’ with director Sajid Khan. Media reports indicated that they became close ever since her two sons Sagar and Kshitij started working as ADs in his film Humshakals. The actress says, “People don’t know that I have known Sajid for 15 years. I have worked with him. He’s been a friend. Yes, I asked him to get my boys as ADs on his sets, but then I have asked Ekta (Kapoor) to help them out too. Does that mean that I am having an affair with her too? They want to be actors eventually, but I have told my sons that this is the best way to start out by learning the basics. My poor boys have got nothing to do with all this. Fortunately, I had prepared them so they were not shocked when these reports came out.”

Urvashi says she has been in Bollywood for over 30 years and has many friends with whom she has gone out to dinner with. “How come I don’t get linked to anybody else? Yes, Sajid has come home a couple of times. He is a friend, so why wouldn’t he? Let me tell everyone that I do have the liberty of going out with anybody I choose to go out with, but making assumptions is not right. If I am dating someone, I will come out and say it. Tomorrow if my boys work with another director, it will spark off another round of rumours. Yeh toh hadh ho gayi yaar!”
