Vaani had once in an interview to Filmfare revealed that she never had a boyfriend in school, "I’d laugh in my head when I’d see a couple canoodling. I knew once they were out of school they wouldn’t remember each other. I knew my infatuations too would die down. I’d think long term - marriage. I don’t know what has happened to Indian men. They are confused. Cheating on your partner is in these days, which scares the hell out of me. I don’t want to date just for the heck of it. For the time being, I’m happy dreaming about Bradley Cooper..."
