The actor then had to step up and clear the air. He then took to his microblogging site and said, “This is to all the press and media and well-wishers and friends.. Looking to clear the air about my wedding bells. Keerti and myself are best of friends, infact childhood friends. Both our parents haven’t yet met or spoken to each other about us. So nothing as of now and clearly marriage aint on my cards anytime soon. Will def let everybody know if anything of that sort takes place.”</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://dd508hmafkqws.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/article_node_view/public/kiki.jpg"></div>
