Paras Kalnawat, who quit the popular family drama, Anupamaa, to take up Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (JDJ), is quite pleased with his progress and growth as a dancer on the 10th edition of the dance reality show. After an initial apprehension, today he is happy with his decision to participate in JDJ. But it’s not just his performance on the dance show that’s grabbing attention. He has been in the news for his personal life as well. In fact, it was reported that Paras had an altercation with Bigg Boss OTT contestant Urfi Javed (she has now changed the spelling of her name to Uorfi) at the JDJ launch party last month. In fact, the latter called him ‘possessive’ and her relationship with him ‘a childhood mistake’.
So, what happened between the two really? Paras replies, “We didn’t fight at the party. In fact, she walked up to me and spoke to me nicely. People assumed that we were screaming at each other because the music was too loud and we had to literally shout to be heard. She even uploaded a story on her Instagram praising my performance on JDJ.”
The former couple is on cordial terms and Paras seeks her advice when in doubt. He shares, “I harbour no ill feelings against Urfi. I dated her for six months around five years ago. Though it was short-lived, it was my first relationship. So, I obviously went gaga over her. I was just 19 then. But it ended and I moved on. As long as people who matter to me know me, and I know myself as a person, being called possessive doesn’t affect me. I have many female friends because they know that I won’t ever overstep the line. I don’t know what was going on in Urfi’s life when she said that about me. Also, I don’t worry about the past. I prefer to live in the present. Today, we are cordial and respect each other. I message her when I am in doubt. I take suggestions from her. Both of us are in a good space in life.”
