Pulkit, however, is reluctant to flaunt his Salman connection and his much-engaged status.
"It's true I am in a committed relationship with Shradha. She is Salmanbhai's raakhi sister and that's how he got to know about me," Pulkit says. "I can't even begin to say how blessed I am to have Bhai's support. Last week, he arranged a screening of my film for his friends. I was rubbing my eyes in disbelief when I saw Sooraj Barjatyaji, Prabhu Deva, Boney Kapoorji and Sajid Nadiadwalaji walk in. They were so encouraging. They watched the whole film, and so did Salmanbhai. I'd like to believe it had to do with more than Shradha being his sister."
Opening up on his relationship, Pulkit says, "We met two years ago. As a trainee journalist, she had to spend a day with a television actor. Luckily, that television actor was me. No, it wasn't love at first sight but we fell in love gradually. We are as good as husband and wife. The wedding would be just for the families' sake."
