We have known each other since our teenage years, says Nidhi Agerwal on KL Rahul

The star Indian batsman KL Rahul was seen leaving a Mumbai eatery in Bandra with the Bollywood actress Nidhhi Agerwal a few days ago. The pictures of the couple had gone viral on social media and rumours were a rift that the new Cricket-Bollywood pair was in the making. However, the actress has now come out with a statement and has stressed that the duo knows each other for a long time and it was only a casual meet.

Rahul was recently involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he played for the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) franchise and set the stage on fire with his batting. After a long season, one of the most eligible bachelors of the Indian team is enjoying a break away from cricket and will soon start training for the upcoming Test match against Afghanistan. On the other hand, Nidhhi has just begun her Bollywood career and made her debut opposite Tiger Shroff in the movie named Munna Michael last year.

Nidhhi clarifies

Nidhhi Agerwal, while speaking spotboye, admitted to the fact that she went out on a dinner with KL Rahul but cleared straightaway that it wasn’t a date. She also added that they know each other for a long time now and have kept in touch despite being busy in their respective professions.

“Yes, I did go out on a dinner with Rahul. I and Rahul go back a long way. We have known each other since our teenage years before Rahul became a cricketer and I became an actress. Though we did not go to the same college in Bangalore, we have known each other for long,” she said.

Rahul is yet to break his silence on the matter and he generally doesn’t open up much on his personal life. Reportedly, his name was also linked with the model Elixir Nahar but he never confirmed or clarified about the same.
