Arjun Kapoor On Dating Rumours With Athiya Shetty: ‘It Is Embarrassing’

Grapevine is abuzz that Arjun Kapoor is dating Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty but the Ishaqzaade star has recently rubbished the reports claiming so. Arjun told PTI, “She (Athiya) is my sister's friend. People forget that you can have friends in the industry and that it is a normal thing. I have known her for many years. I don't understand why there is (a) sudden speculation”.

The actor further said, “But it is embarrassing to get linked to someone you have known for a long time. She (Athiya) is a sweet girl”, and added, “Media saw us (Athiya and I) together at a party so it all started (dating rumours). It is part and parcel of the film industry. The speculation is normal. I am getting used to it as that it is how things happen”.

Arjun said that the ongoing speculations wouldn’t ever affect his relation with Athiya. “It doesn't spoil relationship as we know the truth. Media gets paid to write it and it is normal and it is their job. It doesn't affect our personal relationship just because something is written in papers. It is fickle if you get affected by a third person writing about it”, he said. Meanwhile Arjun Kapoor is quite happy with the box office collections of his recent release ‘Ki & Ka’, which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan.
