Now, Manu Punjabi has opened up about those remarks made on him and Nikki. In an interview with ETimes, he said, "I'm very much friends with Nikki and also wish to continue our friendship outside the house. I would love to meet her, know her and also to work with her. There is nothing wrong in that. I don't care about people talking anything about us. Our society has grown up and today we can say proudly that do jawan ladka ladki dost bhi hote hai."

But at the end of the day, all I can say is she is good at heart. I got a very less time to spend inside the house and I have really known her a little only."
