An entertainment portal put out report stating that Rajat Tokas, currently starring as Chandragupta Maurya on the Star Plus drama serial, Chandra Nandini, is allegedly getting up close and personal with co-star Tanu Khan, who plays his consort Helena on the show. The portal quoted one of their sources as saying “Rajat and Tanu are inseparable. In between takes they spend time in each other’s vanity vans and even leave the sets together after pack-up. We also hear that Rajat and Tanu recently enjoyed a night-out together.”
The news blew up as Tokas is known for being a private and shy individual, both on set and in his personal life. The actor married his long time girlfriend Srishti Nayyar in 2015 in a close-knit ceremony and manages to keep his personal life away from the paparazzi. The actor even keeps to himself on sets.
In fact, Shweta Basu Prasad, another of his co-stars on the show, commented on his behaviour on set. “He is a very dedicated actor but he is not a friend. A very good actor. But on sets, our conversation is strictly limited to our dialogues and nothing beyond. We aren’t friends. But we work as a family but the two of us are strictly professional is nothing more I talk to him about.”
While this news came as a shock to many of his fans, the actor himself flared up and unleashed his anger on Twitter, slamming the news portal for publishing such scandalous information and even threatened legal action by filing a defamation lawsuit.
