New Delhi:
Tanuj Virwani, son of film veteran Rati Agnihotri, opened up about his breakup with Akshara Haasan in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. Tanuj revealed that she is not in touch with Akshara unlike her other ex-girlfriends. Tanuj said she broke up with Akshara after her private pictures surfaced online. Talking about why she is not in contact with Kamal Haasan’s daughter, the actor said, “I am friends with many exes and more than friendship, we have mutual respect for each other. Sometimes when you lose respect for your partner, and you don’t stand up for them, I can forgive but not forget then I don’t need to be friends.
Addressing the furor surrounding Akshara’s leaked private pictures, Tanuj said, “It has nothing to do with our breakup. But whatever happened with the leaked pictures, either you believe I did it or you believe I didn’t. You have to take a stand for me, but he didn’t think everyone had their reasons and it didn’t matter now.
FYI, Tanuj Virwani got married to his girlfriend Tanya Jacob in a Christmas themed wedding in Lonavala last year. The couple is expecting their first child. Talking about how Tanya reacted to her relationship with Akshara Haasan and the controversy that followed, Tanuj said, “The irony here is that I met Tanya around the time I broke up with Akshara. We were just friends at that point, but we had met. Around that time, maybe out of curiosity or concern , but he asked me about the whole episode.
Tanuj Virwani will be seen in Murshid opposite Kay Kay Menon and Johnny Jumper directed by Mickey Virus director Saurabh Varma. This movie also stars Vijay Raaz, Brijendra Kalra, Zakir Hussain and Zarina Wahab.
