Meanwhile, the rumours of the two dating have been doing the rounds for quite some time now but neither of them has confirmed. Athiya recently in an interview broke her silence over it. She said that it was something ‘personal and private’ for her, something she was not comfortable talking about.

Nothing wrong in taking time off to better myself: Athiya Shetty

Athiya Shetty said she took time off after her first two films to improve her craft as she wants to be a part of movies that help her “break the mould” in Bollywood. “I worked on myself as an actor. I would do a lot of workshops. There is nothing wrong in taking time off to better myself. In this industry, you can’t decide what path you want to walk on. You can’t plan things. I felt I need to prove myself to be here,” Athiya told PTI in an interview.

“I had a great time working on Hero and Mubarkan but somewhere I was not fulfilled as an actor. This film gave me the opportunity to work hard and break the mould, challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone. The idea is to feel satisfied and fulfilled as an actor.” The story revolves around a 36-year-old jobless man Pushpender (Nawazuddin), trying to find a wife and Annie (Athiya), who is looking for a husband. But she wants to settle abroad after marriage. “I said no before I said yes because I did not know if I would be able to pull it off as this role is different from what I have done. It is out of my comfort zone. But that was also the exciting part,” the 26-year-old actor said.
