Mumbai:
The actor finally admits into being in a relationship with his co-star in their forthcoming film, 3G. Excerpts from the interview.
Ques: What is your relationship status?
Neil: I don't want to be disrespectful to the person I love by being diplomatic. I am in love with Sonal Chauhan. She is everything I want in a woman. For one, she is not a home-breaker. She makes me feel good about who I am, unlike my last relationship, where I was made to feel like sh*t.
Ques: Who are you referring to?
Neil: I'd rather not talk about that. I'd rather talk about Sonal. She is a complete contrast to my last relationship. She doesn't hide behind artifice.
Ques: So, is marriage on the cards?
Neil: We're figuring it out. I am sure she is the girl I want to marry.
Ques: Does she feel the same way about you?
Neil: I know she feels very strongly for me. We want to make sure that we're in love for keeps. I want Sonal to trust me completely before she makes a commitment. Isn't it a man's duty to convince the woman he loves that he is capable of looking after her for life? (Read: Are Neil Nitin and Sonal Chauhan going public with their love? )
Ques: Has she met your parents?
Neil: Yeah, of course.
Ques: Did your feelings grow while you were shooting in Fiji?
Neil:Yes. I was very fond of her before I started working with her. But I came really close to her later. For the first time, I fell in love with someone I was working with. Sonal got to see and know me both on and off the sets. It's very important for my woman to know my working style. (Read: Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan are inseparable in Fiji)
Ques: Did your last relationship not put you off love?
Neil: It made me suspicious of love. But the beauty of love is that it hurts but also heals. I was bitter after the sham I was subjected to in my last relationship. But it made me stronger. Being with Sonal has taught me the drastic difference between a bad and good relationship.
Ques: Do you want to thank the lady you were seeing earlier?
Neil: Oh yes, for making me wiser and stronger. Sonal healed me. I am not bitter anymore. I love being demonstrative in love. Sonal is not that demonstrative about her feelings but I hope she feels the same way about me.
Ques: When will you meet her parents to formally ask for her hand in marriage?
Neil: Why only her hand? I will ask for all of her -- as soon she lets me.
