Anupama Varma says Aryan Vaid's public proposals of marriage are bold, considering that he doesn't even know if she reciprocates.
Anupama Varma's breaking her silence on her much-speculated romance with Aryan Vaid. "I'm not comfortable with the fact that Aryan Vaid is talking about private matters that are not clarified by me. I really don't appreciate this," she says.
Anupama says "I struck a rapport with Aryan because he's very positive, we were like-minded, with a common professional background."
Anupama says she's always known of Aryan's fondness for her. So Aryan Vaid her type? "No," she answers, "If he was, I would have dated him in the six years I knew him. We'd bump into each other at shows, and he's always expressed a fondness for me. But I've always drawn the line. He was someone I avoided for six years."
Anupama continues,"He's not just another friend. I'm not palming him off. We share a special bond. I respect that he's vocal about his feelings because I'm sure it takes a great deal to go to the press when you are not even sure if the girl reciprocates. In the house I was touched by his gestures, and I would tell him 'You're my best friend, and I will always want to know you', and I stand by that."
But all this talk of marriage is disturbing her. "It hit me like a boulder when I stepped out of the house that things had gone to this extent! When Arshad asked me about it, I said 'I definitely like him, but love is a very strong word, and I don't feel that so easily.'
I was not being diplomatic about that." Anupama clarifies that a relationship means more to her than love-at-first-sight.
"I've led a very simple and clean life. I've not seen anyone for years. When it comes to relationships, to me it's something that is as big as the institution of marriage. If I commit, I'd better be sure of it. If I'm in a relationship it will be for a real reason.
