2. When Anant and Radhika’s pre-wedding rituals were going on there was a picture of Radhika with a guy going viral on social media.
Some people claimed that this guy’s name is Rohan Malhotra and he is Radhika’s ex-boyfriend; they were in a relationship in 2013 and later ended their relationship because of some issues and now are good friends.
But there was no official information about it so maybe it was just a rumor.
3. Recently when Radhika was clicked during Ganesh’s pooja in Antilia she was extra conscious about her steps so a rumor of her being pregnant is also speculating.
