There were rumours doing the rounds that Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan Kapoor is dating his dad's onscreen daughter Sapna Pabbi in real life. For those uninitiated, Sapna played the daughter to Anil's character in his TV show, 24. Pabbi also played a lead role in the 2015 film Khamoshiyan. Speculations were rife that the two had been spotted at dinner dates quite often.

Harshvardhan, who's all set to entice his fans with his Bollywood debut Mirzya, told us exclusively that he was never in a relationship with Sapna. He said, "I was never dating Sapna Pabbi. Sapna and I were basically seen once at some event, not even in an event, there's a thing called Playground in Lower Parel Palladium. There were thousands of people there and somebody saw us and then made a story about it. And I don't mind such reports as they don't disturb me. I'm a single guy and I have nobody to answer to and if somebody wants to use me to make a story, then it's ok."

On a related note, we asked him about the reports of him joining Tinder (a dating app). His reply to our query was, "If I'll now be on Tinder, I'll be in so much trouble because of the way the society is. I mean what I was trying to say, that quote was taken out of context. I'm 25 years old, I'm a single guy, so in that theory, I should be on Tinder, but I'm not. You've to assume that kind of responsibility, may be, once you become a public figure, you can't really do it. Although, in America, James Franco and many of them are on Tinder. But I really love our society and I respect it and for the love, I'm getting back, it's fine to make some compromises."

For those who are on Tinder and were looking for a match with our newbie, they will have to wait!
