Ever since her controversial kiss with Jad Hadid in the Bigg Boss OTT house, Akanksha Puri has been dominating headlines. Even after the actress got eliminated from the show, she has still managed to stay in the limelight by spilling some major tea in her interviews. Akanksha, who has had quite a dating history has finally decided to open up about her past relationships. While many are aware about her ‘swayamvar’ with Mika Singh and her past relationship with Paras Chhabra, not many are aware that she also dated late actor Sidharth Shukla!
Siddharth Shukla Was Akanksha’s First Boyfriend!
Now, in a recent interview, the actress got candid about all her past relationships and how they have affected her. Apparently, Akanksha’s first ever serious relationship was with the late Sidharth Shukla. Talking about the same, she said, “The first relationship, we friend-zoned it mutually. With him (Sidharth), I maintained a good relationship till the very end. We never became enemies. He always stayed my very good friend.”
Akanksha Never Got Closure From Paras
In the same interview, Akanksha also spoke about her infamous relationship with Paras Chhabra. Paras, who was dating Akanksha when he entered Bigg Boss 13, started developing feelings for Mahira Sharma inside the house. This lead to their breakup by default. However, she never got any closure. Akanksha said, “In my second relationship (with Paras), I never had a proper closure. When he was inside the Bigg Boss house, both of us ended the relationship from our end, but we never talked after that, even after he came out of the house. We never saw each other again. He moved on in his life and I also moved on.”
How Her Break Up With Paras Affected Her
Akanksha and Paras’ break up was a rather controversial one since he called of the relationship on television while she was still sending him clothes and other stuff inside the BB house. Talking about how the abrupt end affected her, she said, “I have started to believe that I will always be single and I have learnt to live alone also. I do not trust people now. I did date a few people but they wanted me only for dating, they didn’t want a relationship. I was often told, ‘You are my happy space Akanksha, but let’s not take it somewhere else.’ But I don’t want to be anyone’s happy place anymore.”
The actress also opened up about going through anxiety and depression after her split with Paras. She stated that she was under heavy medication and wasn’t able to give her best at work. However, she found her solace in working out and spent most of her time at the gym, which gave her a perfect body and peace of mind.
It takes a hell lot of guts to open up about your past life, and we commend Akanksha Puri for being so candid. We’re glad she didn’t let any man dim her light and that she is now thriving harder than ever before!
