“A lot of journalists keep asking me deeply personal questions like ‘tumhaara pyaar kitna door tak gaya? (what is the status of your relationship?)’ or ‘family ke log tumko accept kar rahe ki nahi? (has your family accepted your relationship)’ or ‘tum future main shaadi karogi? (will you get married in future?)’, " she added.
