Esha Gupta and Hardik Pandya
A long time ago, there were rumours that actress Esha Gupta was in a relationship with cricketer Hardik Pandya. Now, the actress has finally set the record straight. She revealed that she was in the "talking" stage with Pandya.
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Esha Gupta addressed the link-up rumours with Hardik Pandya. “Yeah, for some time we were talking. I don’t think we were dating, but yeah, we were talking for a couple of months. We were at that ‘maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t’ stage. It ended before we even reached the dating stage. So it wasn’t dating-dating. We met once or twice, that’s it. So yeah, as I said, it was a couple of months, and then it ended.”
When asked if a relationship between the two could have been possible, Esha said, "Maybe it could have happened," but added that it fizzled out soon.
“There was no drama or bitterness. It just wasn’t meant to be,” she added.
