MUMBAI: Actor Paras Kalnawat, who is now immensely popular with his character portrayal as Samar in TV’s top-rated show Anupamaa, is dating a girl for quite some time now however he has kept her identity under wraps as he doesn’t wish to reveal her partner’s name at the moment.

He shared, “It’s been two and half years that we have been seeing each other. I want to keep my relationship private as unnecessarily it creates issues and people don’t respect privacy and bash you."

There are strong rumours that Paras is seeing his co-star Anagha Bhosale who plays the role of Nandini in the show. When asked if she is the one, he replied, “Not at all. Anagha is like a kid on the sets and even I treat her like a child. She is very sweet and we get along well. I am not dating anyone from my show Anupamaa. All I can say is she is an actress and at the moment not a prominent face as she has just started her career in acting.”

Before Anupamaa, Paras has been part of shows like Meri Durga, Mariam Khan: Reporting Live and web-series Dil Hi Toh Hai.
