In an a statements to IANS, Harshvardhan Rane admitted that he likes Gauahar Khan, but denied a love affair with her. "I don't deny that fact that I like Gauahar. She is hardworking, self-made and self-respecting. Somewhere, I see my own personality traits in her. But that's about it. We are not in a relationship," the actor told IANS.

Harshvardhan Rane was earlier rumoured to be dating badminton player Jwala Gutta, but they broke up few years ago. "But it never quite worked out. They were one-sided attractions. I've only been in one relationship in my entire life so far. When that ended, I decided being with someone is not for me. I like my own company the best," he added.

However, Gauahar Khan was engaged to director Sajid Khan in 2003, but their relationship did not last long. She was in a relationship with her fellow contestant of Bigg Boss, Kushal Tandon in 2013, but later they split. It was speculated recently that the actress was set for reconciliation with Kushal Tandon.
