Mika Singh reveals why he didn’t marry Akanksha Puri after she won Swayamvar: Mika Di Vohti, last year.
Mika Singh, in his recent interview, opened up about not marrying Akanksha Puri who won on the reality show Swayamvar: Mika Di Vohti, last year. The singer said he later realised that they were not meant to be together.
While speaking to ETimes, Mika said, “However, after choosing Akanksha as my companion, I realised that we were not meant to be with each other. I am a singer, musician and she is an actress. I keep travelling across the world for my concerts, while she is stationed at one place because of her projects. I figured that if she was also a singer, we could have collaborated and travelled together, but since she is an actor and her work is different from mine, we mutually decided to be friends.”
On being asked if the show was scripted, Mika said, “The show was not a sham, neither was Akanksha’s entry planned. It’s just that things didn’t work out for us. As far as marriage goes, I have now left things to destiny. Marriage is a big decision and though I am keen to find a life partner I don’t want to regret later after taking a hasty step. So, it is important that I take my time.”
Earlier, Akanksha Puri said that she is only friends with Mika. “We mentioned on the show that we were friends for many years. We continue to be that. We are just friends and not a couple,” she told E-Times.
Even though the goal of the show was to find a life partner, Puri continued, “nothing changed” between them after the Swayamvar finale, thus they are still “same old friends.”
“Yes, the swayamvar was about choosing a partner, so we decided on each other as we have known each other for almost a decade. We have never said that we are in love or displayed any romance. We were clear that we were looking for a life partner and preferably someone who has been a friend. But post the show, nothing has changed between us and we continue to be the same old friends that we were,” she added.
