After almost a year of denials and online PDA, the couple made a joint appearance on a talent hunt show recently

Singer Neha Kakkar, and Himansh Kohli, who made his acting debut in Divya Khosla Kumar’s 2014 directorial Yaariyan, have been at the centre of reports that claim that they are a couple.

After almost a year of denying it, the duo came clean on their relationship status on a new episode of Indian Idol 10. While Neha is a judge on the talent hunt show alongside Vishal Dadlani and Anu Malik, Himansh was making a guest appearance.

A source from the sets reveals, “(Actor-comedian) Sunil Grover, who was a guest on the show, was doing a fun segment called ‘Neha’s Swayamvar’. Himansh turned up during the segment along with host Paritosh Tripathi, and Neha noted that he understands her very well, adding, ‘In the future when I think of getting married, he is going to be there in my mind’.”

And to everyone’s surprise, Himansh responded in the affirmative, saying, “I was waiting for you to say that.”

At another point in the show, the couple put up a romantic performance on the song “Oh Humsafar”, which is sung by Neha and her brother Tony Kakkar. Incidentally, Himansh had featured in its music video with Neha that had released earlier this year.

Neha and Himansh had caught everyone’s attention with their interactions on the social media. Talk of a romance intensified soon after the couple reportedly celebrated Valentines’ Day together this year. However, many noted that they had hit a rough patch in the following months.
