The yesteryear song ‘Khullam khulla pyaar karenge hum dono, iss duniya se nahi darenge hum dono’ definitely seems to suit TV stars Anas Rashid and Rati Pandey. The couple has been making public appearances hand-in-hand, and though they seem to be very much in love, they are yet to go official about it. But, as per sources, if not in public, Anas and Rati have come out in open about their affair in their personal friend circle. At a recent award function held in Dubai, Anas apparently walked in to the venue with Rati and introduced her as his ‘girlfriend’. Hmm..interesting. When we buzzed Anas about it, he said, “It’s not the first time when I and Rati walked into an award function together. Apart from that we were in Dubai and it wasn’t like being in Bhutan or Bangladesh. People are progressive there. The funniest part is that while you’re a struggling actor nobody really cares about what you do but the minute you get fame everything that you do is noticed. I don’t think I want to stop doing things I like doing even if people are going to write about it. I like being a free bird.” Which means you never introduced Rati as your better half at the function? “Not at all. In fact I did not even know that she was going there till the last day. However, when I learnt about her being there I extended my stay by two days. Initially I was to come back in a day,” said the actor. Now that’s really interesting. Isn’t it? Anas wanted to spend some quality time with good friend Rati on Valentine’s eve, it seems (the function was in that time span). It’s rather strange that he would not go public about his love relationship but stay on for Rati at Dubai to be with her. So are they really in love. What’s the equation? “No. I’ve never given any commitment to Rati ever. She is a beautiful girl and if I feel the need to marry her I will make it public. But I leave the decision of my wedding on my parents. They can fix my marriage with any girl of their choice,” he averred. We also tried contacting Rati about the same but she did not revert. Well, we wonder yeh rishta kya kehlata hai (wink). Disclaimer: Any content appearing under ‘Gossip’ section is purely gossip and TellyChakkar.com does not comply with the same.
