"We are not hiding our relationship but I feel people should give us some space because it's a family thing," Kriti said. Pulkit included: "I think personal and family matters should be kept limited within the family. Our families are camera shy and media-shy. It is not right on our part to express feelings on their behalf. I can just say we are in a happy space." The actors were interacting with the media at an extraordinary screening of "Pagalpanti" in Mumbai.

Bits of gossip about Pulkit dating Kriti were doing the rounds for a very long time before the actor affirmed that she is in a relationship with the "Fukrey" actor.  Prior to dating Kriti, Pulkit married long-time girlfriend Shweta Rohira in November 2014. Shweta is "rakhi-sister" of Bollywood star Salman Khan. The couple separated in November 2015.

After the partition, there were bits of gossip that Pulkit quickly dated Yami Gautam. After "Pagalpanti", Pulkit and Kriti will be seen together in Bejoy Namibar's "Taish". Discussing Nambiar's film, Kriti stated: "It is completely an opposite film compared to 'Pagalpanti'. In 'Taish', we aren't paired opposite each other. We just happen to be a part of the cast."

Adding to Kriti's announcement, Pulkit stated: "It will be an interesting film but now we are focused about audience reaction of 'Pagalpanti' till Monday." "Taish" is a revenge drama that likewise includes Jim Sarbh, Amit Sadh, Neha Sharma, Aditya Pancholi, and Harshvardhan Rane.
