The actress has yet to explicitly confirm her engagement. She discussed her relationship with the entrepreneur and how she's not in a particular rush to get married in an interview with Bombay Times in January of 2019. 

"Love is really important for me, because I believe in it. I believe in giving love to everyone, including my family, dogs and myself, and not just the person I get married to. Relationships are very important, because that's the bond you share with someone and that's how love grows between people. Marriage has always been my dream. I have always wanted to get married. But at this point, my priorities have changed," she said. "I am really looking forward to more films."
