"It took me at least 7-8 years to say yes to someone. I have faith in love. I am a romantic, but I am not particularly expressive as a romantic. I believe in marriage as an institution and in love. Honestly, I took my time because I wanted to say yes to someone who would be my forever. Sohael came along and reinforced my faith in love even more. He made sure I was over over heels in love with him, and absolutely, God had his own way," the actress told India Today.

Meanwhile, Hansika was chastised after her wedding for supposedly breaking Sohael's previous marriage. He was married to Hansika's close friend Rinky, for those who are unaware. The actress was also present during their wedding ceremony. In response to the rumours, she stated in her documentary, "Just because I knew the individual at the time doesn't mean it was my fault. This has nothing to do with me. They were quick to point fingers at me because I am a prominent person. This was the cost of becoming a star."

Sohael, also in the episode, dismissed all of the critiques as "baseless." "The fact that I was previously married got out, and it came out in the incorrect light," he explained. It was implied that the separation was caused by Hansika, which is false and unfounded." Also Read: Pathaan Week-February 20 to 23: Shah Rukh Khan's film tickets priced at Rs 110
