Rishita Kothari’s rumoured boyfriend Mridul Meena breaks silence on Parth Samthaan controversy; says, ‘Defamation won’t be tolerated’

Parth Samthaan and Rishita Kothari, who are currently winning hearts with their roles in “Sehar Hone Ko Hai,” have allegedly gotten into an ugly spat on the sets of the show. While the reason for their fight is unknown, many users on social media are blaming Rishita’s rumoured boyfriend, Mridul Meena, for it. Parth Samthaan’s fans have also accused Mridul of allegedly doing negative PR against him. Rishita’s alleged boyfriend has now reacted to the claims on social media.


He took to his Instagram handle and penned a long note. The post read, “A gentle note to all pages on social media, whether Instagram, X, or any other platform: Please refrain from posting false, misleading, or defamatory content about me without any proof or factual basis. If you wish to post any news or information, kindly listen to both sides of the story first rather than relying on assumptions or speculation, as this can seriously harm someone’s reputation.”



He further said, “For the past two months, I have been focusing on my work, so this kind of negative PR against me is not going to change anything. The people who truly know me and have worked with me know exactly who I am and what kind of person I am.”


Hinting at Parth, he mentioned, “You are free to support your favourite, but please do not ruin another person’s name, reputation, or mental peace in the name of support. Going forward, any page or account sharing defamatory content about me without evidence will be formally reported to the respective platform for appropriate review and action. I request everyone to be responsible, fair, and respectful while using social media. Thank you.”


Rishita, on the other hand, previously said, “I’ve always been a quiet person… but silence doesn’t mean I don’t feel. It doesn’t mean I don’t get hurt. And it definitely doesn’t mean I deserve to be misunderstood.”


In an Instagram post, she said, “I feel truly fortunate that this industry gave me a chance to live my dream and showcase my talent. I’m deeply grateful for the love the audience has given me; it means everything to me. I’m here because of that love. But somewhere along the way, that love also brought judgment and hate that I still don’t understand… not just towards me, but even towards my friends and family. And that is what breaks me the most.”


She added, “For the longest time, I kept everything buried within me. I convinced myself this is just how it is… that maybe being new means accepting everything silently. I was told, ‘It’s a man’s world, you have to bear it.’ But slowly, that silence started to weigh on me… it began to hurt deeper than I expected. There were moments it made me feel helpless, unheard, and so alone… like no matter what I say or don’t say, it will still be questioned. Why is being quiet seen as arrogance? Why is not reacting seen as guilt? Why does love come with so much hate?”
