The rumours of Tanuj Virwani and Jennifer Winget dating have been doing rounds since they first appeared together in Code M. The reports got more steam last month when the second season of their show released. A video of the two celebrating Jennifer’s birthday also surfaced giving fuel to the fire.

Recently, Tanuj got into an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble where he opened up on the same. Talking about Jennifer as a co-star, he says, “You have different energies with different co-stars. Sometimes the chemistry is inherent and certain times it is difficult to cook it up. And you cannot lie in front of the camera, no matter how good an actor you are. Fortunately, me and Jennifer are cool with each other and are very good friends off camera as well. We were very much in touch between season 1 and 2 as well and we just went into our roles very effortlessly. Credit for that also goes to our director as well as this trifecta is like that.”

As for the link up rumours, the actor is happy to let people speculate. He shares, “She’s a gorgeous girl and there are millions of people who are her fans and when they see us together, be it on social media or anywhere else, they do speak up a lot about it. I have always maintained that you are either single or married and I am not married. The day I decide to settle down, the world will know because I feel it is a thing to be proud of. I have also constantly made sure not to discuss my personal life in public because unfortunately I made that mistake in the past. People are then more interested in knowing who you are dating then the work you are doing. We put so much effort and hard work to give meaningful work and we don’t want to be known by who we date. Let people speculate.”

However, the actor adds that people need to realise that acting is just their profession. “I think sometimes people forget that you are not just actors but human beings as well. I wish people would be mindful of that but this is the field of work I signed up for. There have been times in the past where I have dated someone and no one has talked about it but as soon as we break up, people are then talking about it. And I am like buck up, you are six months behind,” he chuckles.
