Responding to the online conversation, the actress took to her Instagram stories to clarify the matter.

"We had a great laugh today about how one line from an hour-long conversation can suddenly become the headline. Funny... until it’s not. Context matters. Nuance matters. Conversations deserve better than being reduced to clickbait. Maybe it’s time platforms take a little more responsibility for the narratives they create," she wrote.

What did Bhagnani say?

During a conversation with Zingabad, Bhagnani explained about what he meant by the term, emphasising transparency and companionship in their marriage. "Rakul and I are married, but we are like in a situationship, which is, of course, we are exclusive to each other, because that's why we are married. But the most important thing is that I can talk to her about anything," he said. "We told each other that we are not 20-21 years old anymore. We have both seen many ups and downs. Individually, I am a happy person. I am not looking for anyone to fill that void because if I am a depressed person, no matter who comes into my life, I will be depressed. And individually, you are happy too. Together, we are happier."

Speaking on the same line, Rakul shared her perspective, saying, "It is not about filling a void in each other’s lives. It is not like you didn’t take me for a holiday, so I am unhappy. I can go on that holiday by myself. I think there are more important things in life to talk about."

The couple tied the knot on February 21, 2024, in Goa in a dual ceremony that included a Sikh Anand Karaj and a Sindhi wedding, after dating for nearly three years.
