Ashmit Patel and Mahek Chahal, who are seeing each other since three months, will participate together in the reality show Power Couple. While the former was seen in season four of Bigg Boss, the latter was part of season five. Both of them have moved on in life from their respective link-ups.

Ashmit was famously linked with inmate Veena Malik. On the finale night of Bigg Boss (2012), Mahek received a proposal from boyfriend Danish Khan on national television. The relationship, however, went kaput later.

Ashmit says, “Mahek and I have known each other for 12 years. We've have been acquaintances for a long time and our friendship has grown steadily. We became serious about each other three months ago.“ The two have been gym buddies and the post workout hangouts strengthened their bond. “I started dropping her home and spending more time with her. One thing led to another and we became a couple,“ he added. Many might label this as yet another reality show stunt, but Ashmit is unperturbed about it. “I've found a companion in a friend and we are enjoying the relationship,“ he says.

Ask Mahek about participating with Ashmit in the show and she replies, “I'm scared as we have never lived together. Saath mein rehne par ladko ke baare mein sach pata chalta hai (When you stay under the same roof, you get to know the real man).“ So, is marriage on the cards? “That will take time,“ she signs off.
