Too early to call us a couple: Karishma on Upen

Actor gets rumour mill churning, claims 36 China Town star makes her ‘happy’

MUMBAI: The affinity between Bigg Boss 8 contestants, actors Karishma Tanna and Upen Patel has become one of the talking points of the show this season. Karishma said they like each other but it is too early to tag them as a ‘couple’.

On Pritam Singh’s birthday, RJ Malishka from Red FM along with Pritam’s wife and two fans called at the Bigg Boss Halla Bol house to wish him.  It was then that Malishka asked Karishma and Upen a few questions from their fans. The first question was whether Karishma and Upen are a couple.

Karishma instantly said, “No comments,” but went on to add that it is too early for them to call themselves a couple. However, she didn’t deny that they like each other. Upen entered the house as a guest after Ajaz Khan, one of the challengers, was asked to exit the show. There are rumours that the duo got intimate in the house last week.

When Malishka inquired about her earlier claims of having a relationship outside the house, Karishma said what she had outside the house did not feel complete.  And since the time Upen has come into the house again, she feels more positive and he makes her happy.

The extended version of Bigg Boss 8 in the form of Bigg Boss Halla Bol series is hosted by filmmaker Farah Khan.  The episode featuring Karishma opening up about Upen was scheduled to be aired on Colors channel on Tuesday.
