Why don’t these ‘sources’ tell me about it: Arslan on wedding rumours

Sugandha Rawal (HINDUSTAN TIMES; August 8, 2022)

Arslan Goni doesn’t like to talk about his personal life and his relationship status with interior designer Sussanne Khan. And the actor is amused by the recent report that claimed the couple is planning to get married in a hush-hush way soon. “I don’t know who has spoken about it, who has written about it. Aur unko kahan se pata chala. I’d like these sources to tell me more about it, kisne ye decision liya, kab aur kahan… I have zero comments on that,” he tells us.

His refusal to comment further is because he doesn’t want to add to the existing noise around his bond with Khan, who is actor Hrithik Roshan’s ex-wife. “I don’t like talking about my personal life, even with friends. I am that kind of person. There’s anyway so much chatter around my life,” says Goni, who recently returned to Mumbai after a vacation with Khan in the US.

Asserting that he isn’t trying to “hide anything”, he adds, “I am not answerable to anybody about my personal life. My personal life is good, so is my work life. But I don’t want to make a show of it. I don’t want to be that person. As an actor, this (personal life) is what we are left with. I don’t want to throw it in someone’s face. At the same time, if I am going out with her, I am not going to enter separately or something.”

Goni acknowledges the role pictures have to play in narrating the story about his life. But he isn’t really put off by the attention. “From initial speculation to the subsequent trolling to getting positive comments about my personal life, it comes with a peaceful feeling... You know that people actually appreciate you… I sometimes go through the comments, and it is nice to see that nobody is throwing hate at us,” elaborates the actor, who adds that at the moment, he wants to focus on his work. He is excited about the projects in the pipeline, including a remake of the Israeli series, Fauda.
