"Uday Chopra And I Dated For 5 Years," Reveals Nargis Fakhri. Here's Why She Decided To "Keep Quiet"

"I never have said this to the press as people told me to keep my relationship quiet," Nargis Fakhri said in an interview

Actress Nargis Fakhri, in a tell-all interview with ETimes, opened up about having dated Uday Chopra, for the first time ever. "Uday and I dated for 5 years and he was the most beautiful human I met in India," Nargis Fakhri told the publication. The 41-year-old actress revealed why she never confirmed her relationship with Uday Chopra when they were dating: "I never have said this to the press as people told me to keep my relationship quiet, but I regret that because I should have shouted from the mountain tops that I was with such a beautiful soul." Sharing the reason behind her decision of keeping her personal life under wraps, Nargis Fakhri added: "The internet and social media is very fake and the people out there won't know what the truth is. Most often we idolise certain people who are actually bad behind closed doors." Ok so it had to come to this... @NargisFakhri and I are close friends and all the rumors that are doing the rounds have no basis in reality I wanna go to Rome in April @NargisFakhri wanna join me? Uday Chopra and Nargis Fakhri often featured in headlines for their then-speculated romance, which both the actors had continued to deny. In a tweet in 2016, Uday Chopra wrote: "Ok so it had to come to this... Nargis Fakhri and I are close friends and all the rumours that are doing the rounds have no basis in reality." In previous interviews he was recorded saying: "She is just a friend."
