In 2013, Abhishek gave an interview to TOI talking about Rakhi, “I was with her for only three years and it’s been five years since we broke up. Since then, I have dated four women, but no one spoke about them. Now, I am engaged to be married to a girl from outside the industry. The way Rakhi treated me in those three years was ugly. She is a shameful past and the biggest mistake of my life. I request everyone to stop calling me as ‘Rakhi’s ex-boyfriend."
