New Delhi:

Tanuj Virwani, son of film veteran Rati Agnihotri, opened up about his break-up with Akshara Haasan in an interview with Siddharth Kannan.  Tanuj revealed he is not in touch with Akshara unlike his other ex-girlfriends. Tanuj shared he broke up with Akshara after her private pictures surfaced online. Talking about why he is not in touch with Kamal Haasan's daughter, the actor said, "I am friends with many of my exes and more than friendship, we have mutual respect for each other. Sometimes when you lose respect for your partner, and you don't take a stand for them when you have to, then I may forgive but not forget. In that case, I don't have to be friends. We are happy in our respective space."

Addressing the noise around Akshara's leaked private pictures, Tanuj said, "It has nothing to do with our breakup. But, everything that happened about the leaked pictures, either you believe I have done it, or you believe I haven't and in that case, you need to take a stand for me. But, she didn't. I believe everybody has their own reasons and now it doesn't really matter."

FYI, Tanuj Virwani married his girlfriend Tanya Jacob at a Christmas themed wedding in Lonavala last year. The couple are expecting their first child. Talking about how Tanya reacted to his relationship with Akshara Haasan and the controversy ensued, Tanuj said, "The irony here is that I met Tanya around the time when I broke up with Akshara. We were just friends at that point, but we had met around that time. And at that time, maybe out of curiosity or concern, I am not sure, but she did ask me about the whole episode. My answer was still the same. I told her the reality. That's about it."
