In an interview, Devoleena Bhattacharjee said, "we posted something romantic, which is not true"
On February 2, Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Vishal Singh pranked their fans with their "it's official" photos. Now, in an interview, Devoleena has talked about it and said that it was a gimmick. While talking to Etimes, Devoleena Bhattacharjee said, "It is silly how people assumed that Vishal and I got engaged. Vishal has been one of my best friends since I did Saathiya and the entire world knows it. We were not engaged then, we are not engaged now. He has been my closest friend and people should know that it was just a prank to promote my music video."
Devoleena added that she was "shocked and surprised" when some of her friends called to wish her for the engagement. "How can anyone assume? Social media is filled with such gimmicks and people should know that by now," said Devoleena Bhattacharjee.
She also talked about online negativity and added, "It was a marketing gimmick for a music video and it was not even something that sounded real. There are pros and cons of social media, and I think we are better off than the millions of people who spread negativity online." "I don't think I should be blamed or questioned for this. It was a silly prank and people fell for it," concluded Devoleena.
