Bigg Boss OTT season 2 contestant Manisha Rani has become the talk of the town ever since she came out of the house. From bagging new projects to her closeness with Bollywood singer-composer, Tony Kakkar, the young actress is making headlines. Recently, she was seen coming out of a restaurant with Tony Kakkar which sparked rumours of them dating each other. However, recently while talking to ETimes TV, Manisha dismissed the dating rumours and stated that they are just friends.
Speaking about the incident when she was spotted leaving a restaurant with Tony Kakkar, Manisha Rani clarified, "Tony Kakkar got me chocolates and flowers. Actually, what happened, I and my father met Tony ji a day prior and I got chocolates for him. He’s my favourite and I was meeting him for the first time so I got chocolates for him. To return the favour, when we met the next day, he got me chocolates and a flower. He gave it to me as a friend. But when we were leaving, the media arrived and we got conscious that this would be taken otherwise. So we thought of keeping it inside my purse quickly. Par issi cheez ko sabne otherwise le liya sabne."


She further added how her sister reacted to the dating rumours and confirmed her upcoming project with Tony Kakkar, "In fact, my sister also told me that you guys are friends. There was no need to hide the flowers and chocolate, even friends can gift each other. That time our minds didn’t work and we got conscious. We are just friends and have met twice till now. But media mein chal raha hai that we are dating and all. Hum jis cheez se Bach rahe the Woh he highlight hogaya…, we are doing a project but I can’t talk about it." she said.
Manisha also expressed her gratitude towards her fans, who have showered immense love on her during her journey, "I always visualised getting all this love from people. I want my fans to become my family and I want love from everyone. When I came out of the Bigg Boss house and saw all the love, I was amazed. In fact, once I sat for four hours just reading the comments and saw 99 percent love and positive messages. They wrote to me that when I cried on screen, they also cried with me. Dil se connection ho gaya and they have become my family," she concluded.
