Mika Singh’s TV show Swayamvar: Mika Di Vohti, which took place in July last year, got a lot of flak because people felt it was scripted.

Mika chose his friend, actress Akanksha Puri, as his partner on the show in the finale.

But there has been no news of the two getting engaged or even dating.

We spoke to Mika about this and he said, “I had agreed to be part of Swayamwar: Mika Di Vohti because I really wanted to get married.

All my friends, too, were pressurising me.

I liked the idea of the swayamvar and hence, took up the show.

However, after choosing Akanksha as my companion, I realised that we were not meant to be with each other.

I am a singer, musician and she is an actress.

I keep travelling across the world for my concerts, while she is stationed at one place because of her projects.

I figured that if she was also a singer, we could have collaborated and travelled together, but since she is an actor and her work is different from mine, we mutually decided to be friends.”When asked about allegations of the show being scripted, he replied, “The show was not a sham, neither was Akanksha’s entry planned.

It’s just that things didn’t work out for us.

As far as marriage goes, I have now left things to destiny.”He also added, "Marriage is a big decision and though I am keen to find a life partner I don't want to regret later after taking a hasty step.

So, it is important that I take my time."Akanksha in an earlier interview had said, "Mika and I had been friends but we never romanced each other.

One has to think a lot before taking the plunge.

We have been friends for a long time."
