In a rather adorable and cheesy post on Instagram, TV actress Ekta Kaul finally confirmed her love affair with Sumeet Vyas. In an interview to a leading daily, Vyas, who is making his Bollywood debut in Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Veere Di Wedding revealed that they have been dating for over a year now. “We first met years ago while shooting for a promo of a show which never took off. Then, both of us got busy with our respective lives. Last year, we bumped into each other at a friend’s party and then again when I was hosting a cricket-based reality show in which she was one of the players,” he said.

Sumeet, who was initially married to Shivani Tanksale, met Ekta again at a friend's place and started meeting more often after that.  “She wanted to be sure about it too but we have realised now that we have a certain amount of understanding and really like each other. That Ekta is still a regular girl from Jammu is extremely attractive as I can have non-filmi conversations with her which I didn’t think I was capable of before I met her,” informed the actor.

And into his arms I go to lose my mind and find my soul.. @sumeetvyas sometimes there’s only one thing to say. P.S I love you. 💞💞😘😘

Since quite some time, there have been rumours doing the rounds that Sumeet and Ekta are soon to tie the knot because the actress had shared a photo where she was holding hands with a man whose face wasn't clearly seen. Since they were both traditionally dressed, it was being assumed that they got engaged. However, denying rumours of their engagement, Sumeet said, “We were dressed traditionally as we were attending a wedding and people mistook it for an engagement.”

“It is too soon to talk about marriage. It’s not a conversation that we are having right now as we are both busy with work. We are in a good place where two people realise how compatible they are,” he added further.

Talking about his split with ex-wife Shivani, he said, “It was an amicable split with Shivani as we are mature individuals. Both of us realised that we weren’t making each other happy so we seperated gracefully. We have known each other for many years and didn’t want to sacrifice our friendship to sustain a marriage. We respect each other’s privacy."
