Vishal Karwal, the protagonist of COLORS' Rishton Se Badi Pratha is livid about a certain media report that mentioned that he has an off screen proximity with his co-star Shalini Chandran. The report did talk about Vishal and Shalini sharing the same vanity can, and the manner in which both take special care of each other on sets.

However, we heard from a source close to Vishal Karwal that the actor is already in relationship for the past many years.

When contacted, Vishal told TellyBuzz, "Yes, you are right that I am in a relationship for many years now. I do not want to name the person as she is not from the industry. All I can say is that she is presently in USA, and that we have been in a relationship for six long years now. I do not understand why media cannot call the concerned actor before putting such stories. I am forced to clear the air about my personal life because I do not want to create unnecessary tension between me and my girl friend".

About his off screen rapport with Shalini Chandran, Vishal clarifies, "We are very good friends and only that. Yes, we do go out during our free time and see movies, and that does not mean that there is something brewing between us".

Well, this only means that the handsome hunk Vishal is hooked and booked for life, and the girl in the spot light is indeed not Shalini..
