Mumbai: Young model Rohman Shawl and Miss Universe-turned-actress Sushmita Sen, who ended their romantic relationship long back, continue to make heads turn by hanging out with each other often.
In a recent interview with The Times of India, Rohman opened up about the bond he shares with Sushmita even after their breakup.
“In 2013, I began modelling in Delhi. I became a top model there, and with all that experience came to Mumbai. When I met Sushmita, I wasn’t focusing on becoming an actor. In fact, after my name was associated with hers, people thought that I wouldn’t take up modelling assignments and would switch to acting instead. Log sochne lage ab yeh kyun modelling karega (Why would he pick modelling assignment nows) and I stopped getting offers,” Rohman said.
“I only accompany her as a friend. I like spending time with her. If the relationship didn’t have issues and if you have given so much to a relationship, then why would you run away from it? I am single right now, but because a big name of that stature has been associated with me, people think that I am still with her. So, nobody even approaches me (laughs). I totally believe in love and relationships. In fact, I like being in relationships that drive me,” he added.
Rohman and Sushmita dated each other from 2018-2021.
In December 2021, the couple took to social media platform to announce their breakup.
Sushmita posted, “We began as friends, we remain friends!!! The relationship was long over… the love remains!!! #nomorespeculations #liveandletlive #cherishedmemories #gratitude #love #friendship I love you guys!!! #duggadugga.”
Earlier, on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast Chapter 2, Sushmita had revealed that she has been single for over two years.
She said, “I have no man in my life. I’ve been single for a while. It has been almost two years since I have been single, to be precise since 2021… I am not in a relationship. I have some incredibly wonderful people in my life who are my friends and they are all just waiting for a moment for me to call them and say, ‘Look, I’m pulling the car out, get in the backseat. We’re driving to Goa’”.
