In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Akanksha Puri talked about how her love angle with Jad Hadid was called fake, as the makers felt that it was just for the TRP. Mentioning that Jad was totally into her from day one, the actress revealed that she too liked him and their bond had the potential of becoming something serious if she would have stayed inside the BB house. However, Akanksha also revealed that she takes time to form bonds and fall in love, so she didn't immediately reciprocate her feelings for Jad. Calling herself unlucky in love, the actress shared that her last relationship ended in 2019, and since then, she has not dated anyone.
