When asked about her relationship with Kushal, Ridhima said, "It's like, you know, I develop a relationship with everyone who I work with. He is one of those few people, we fell-out for a bit, but we are grown, mature adults, so we've sorted it out. He now remains a dear friend."
She also shared that Kushal got to know that she is doing Bigg Boss, and wished her for the same. "So yes, I think I do share a great relationship with him."
Earlier, it was reported that Kushal organised a birthday party for Ridhima during the time they were with each other. Though Kushal and Ridhima never accepted dating each other, when the two reportedly unfollowed each other on social media, it gave air to rumours of their alleged breakup.
In 2019, when the reports of Ridhima and Kushal’s breakup was all over the internet, the latter had taken to his Instagram handle and had shared a lengthy post, clearing the air about his relationship status. He wrote, "To whomsoever it may concern, I feel an irresistible urge to point out an important fact that the media and people’s hired PR might be overlooking – An indispensable prerequisite for a breakup is an existing relationship. To the best of my knowledge, I have been single for over a couple of years therefore all the talk that I am hearing lately of me breaking up with whoever."
