It’s been a week since singer Mika Singh and television actress Chahatt Khanna started posting pictures of them together on their social media handles. While this has given rise to speculations about them being a couple, BT has also learnt that the two recently shot for a music video at Mika’s home. So, one wonders whether their pictures are just a publicity stunt for their video.

We spoke to Chahatt, who said, “We are not using each other for publicity. Yes, I am posting pictures of the single, which is titled Quarantine Love, but that’s about it. I don’t think either of us needs to resort to such tactics for publicity.”

While the actress sticks to the ‘just friends’ stance, does she see this friendship growing into something more in the future? “Mika is caring, genuine and I like him for the person that he is. But for now, we are just friends. I have made up my mind that I won’t get married again, but I am open to being in a relationship. I won’t hold myself back from it. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but if it has to happen, it will,” she replied.

Mika, on the other hand, was a bit more forthcoming. He said, “Chahatt is a caring and loving person. She is very genuine and that’s what I like about her.”

Addressing their relationship rumours, the singer added, “We were just posting stories tagging each other, but if people think that we are in a relationship, so be it. It’s personal and also too early to talk about something at such an initial stage.”

Chahatt was earlier married to businessman Farhan Mirza and separated from him in mid-2018, after around five years of marriage. They have two daughters.
