Faisal Shaikh aka Faisu has been facing the very same question again and again whether he is dating Jannat Zubair Rahmani. Their off and onscreen camaraderie has become the talk of the town and the netizens can’t stop but wonder if there is something brewing between the two.
Amidst all this, the two have denied these speculations. In fact, the actress earlier took to her Instagram handle to clear the air. She expressed her disappointment over comments linking the two. Jannat and Faisu will now be seen together in the 12th season of Khatron Ke Khiladi.
During a recent interview with BT, Faisu talked about it and shared, “It feels great as participating in such a big show is a golden opportunity. I don’t know whether I will win the show, but I will give my 100 percent to it and not disappoint my followers, who have pinned their hopes and expectations on me.”
He added, “With this, I am also fulfilling my mom’s long-standing wish. She has followed the show and always told me that if I ever get an offer to participate in KKK, I should lap it up.”
When asked if he is nervous given it’s his first reality show, Faisu said, “I am both nervous and excited. I wonder what I will do and how I will fare on the show but I am leaving no stone unturned in preparing for it. The two things that are a must on the show are physical and mental strength. The fact that I am a fitness enthusiast takes care of the physical aspect of it. As far as mental strength is concerned, I have watched a few previous seasons and convinced myself that I could do it. It’s very easy to judge someone’s performance while watching the show but another to attempt it yourself. The competition will be fierce and I can’t underestimate anyone. Koshish yahi hai ki main apna achhe se achha karu. I won’t give up till the end for the people who follow me and showered me with their love. I want to overcome my fear and phobia. So, it will be a personal journey, too. I am also looking forward to sharing the screen with Rohit Shetty sir. Stress and pressure hai but the excitement has overtaken every other emotion.”
When asked about the rumors of them being in a relationship, Faisal said, “We have been friends for years and continue to be very good friends. We have done many projects together and will do many more. Logo ko aisa bohot lagta hai par aisa kuchh bhi nahi hai (People assume that we are dating but that’s not true). Zaroori nahi jo onscreen chemistry hai woh offscreen bhi ho. Offscreen, we are great friends. I am single,” he concludes.
