Ujwal Sharma Addresses Dating Rumors
In an interview with Tellychakkar, Ujwal Sharma addressed the dating rumors surrounding him and Sanchita. He clarified that they were never in a relationship and revealed that she was going through a difficult time in her personal life following a breakup with her ex-boyfriend. Ujwal stated, “There is no truth to the link-up rumors. We were not in a relationship. In fact, she was dating somebody else and was apparently living with that person. I haven’t spoken to her in a long time; around two to two-and-a-half months. I am currently in my hometown and have not been in proper contact with her.”
He added, “She was going through a difficult phase because of her ex-boyfriend, and she was seeking help as well. The production house had also helped her access treatment and support for her mental health. Whatever has happened is extremely unfortunate and shocking. I came to know about it only a short while ago.”
