Kushal Tandon Responds to Shreya Kalra's DM Allegations Amid Dating Rumors

In a recent episode of the reality show Lock Upp 2, Shreya Kalra made headlines by accusing actor Kushal Tandon of sliding into her direct messages while he was reportedly in a relationship with Shivangi Joshi. The claims sparked significant attention, prompting fellow contestant Kashish Kapoor to confront Kushal about the allegations. In the latest episode of Alliance, Kushal firmly denied the accusations, asserting that Shreya was the one who initiated contact with him. He elaborated on the situation, explaining that a promotional video for the show Barsaatein was the catalyst for their interaction. Kushal clarified that Shreya was promised a promotional segment featuring both of them, but when the final cut was released, it only highlighted him, leaving her with a brief appearance. This led to Shreya reaching out to him, seeking collaboration, which Kushal claims he advised against, suggesting that her involvement was not in her best interest.

During the confrontation, Kashish pressed Kushal for clarity, asking whether Shreya had messaged him first or vice versa. Kushal confidently responded, stating, "She texted me, of course! I don’t DM girls. I have too much ego in myself to DM girls. I only DM foreigners, the models!" His remarks were met with amusement, as he emphasized his reluctance to initiate direct messages with women. He recounted Shreya's message, where she expressed her desire to work with him and her willingness to participate in the promo, which he found to be a misguided decision. Kushal's defense was clear: he believed that Shreya could have pursued better opportunities rather than settling for a minor role in the promotional material.
