If Virat doesnât play well Im blamed for it
Does being under the scanner constantly put the relationship under strain?
I had a back problem so I’ve been going to the physiotherapist at the Kokilaben Hospital. Someone took a picture when I was getting out of the hospital. Now they’re making it seem like I developed the back problem after my trip to Australia. I was like WHAT? What does my back problem have to do with my Australia trip? People are obsessed and they want to go on and on about the same thing.The back problem happened on the NH10 set. You don’t do that to a male star. It’s because they don’t take heroines seriously. They assume we should be answering questions about our personal lives because that’s the only exciting thing about us. It’s not. That’s why I don’t choose to talk about it. Because we take our work seriously. And if you don’t understand the seriousness of my work, why should I answer your questions? I don’t hide my relationship. We go about it normally. I go to see him, people know that. It’s not like I’m saying no to photographs, or stopping people from clicking us, or hiding and meeting him. We’re in a relationship just the way anyone else would be.
It becomes big news when he’s blowing kisses to you…
Yaa. Well…
Is it frustrating that being a public figure, you can’t react to this PDA like a normal girl would?
No, I just felt embarrassed. My brother still makes fun of me. I was embarrassed ya. It’s a stadium and people were turning around and looking at me. I felt shy.
Does this take a toll on both of you?
No. We’re both cut off from everything. When it takes away from your work then it’s a problem. It doesn’t take a toll on your relationship. Virat and I are quite strong. But it definitely does on your work. He wants to focus on his work. The baggage of his relationship in the media is something else. If he scores well, it’s attributed to me, if he doesn’t play well, it’s because of me. I’m blamed for everything. I don’t understand. But all this doesn’t harm our relationship. I wouldn’t be with someone if we were not on the same wavelength. During the England tour, it did take a toll, not on our relationship, but on Virat. What happened was unfair. We weren’t prepared for it. For him more so because he’s a sportsman, he plays to win. It’s our stupidity that we start paying attention to these things. Later you wonder why I was even responding to the stupid things. After that episode, now it doesn’t make any difference to us. If your film is a hit it’s all okay, if you score a century, it’s all okay. The best thing is to keep silent and let your work speak.
