Amid breakup news with Shivangi Joshi, Kushal Tandon's take on relationship red flags flare: 'Just ignore..'

Actors Shivangi Joshi and Kushal Tandon, who were once rumoured to be dating, have reportedly gone their separate ways. The two developed a strong bond while working together on the Sony TV show Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka, where their on-screen chemistry was widely appreciated. As the dating rumours grew stronger, fans hoped the relationship would last. However, Kushal has now confirmed that they are no longer together.

Well, in a past conversation, Kushal had opened up about his views on relationships and what he considers major red flags. It was during the promotions of his show Barsatein-Mausam Pyaar Ka with Shivangi that he, speaking to Pinkvilla said, “I don’t ignore red flags, that’s why I am single. I just ignore the person.”

Kushal pointed out that trust and honesty are extremely important to him. He believes that even small lies can damage a relationship. “Harmless lies are the biggest red flags,” he shared, suggesting that even lies told casually or as jokes can harm trust.

I don’t ignore red flags, that’s why I am single. I just ignore the person.

Another important issue for him is respect for family, especially his mother. “Disrespect to mom, even in a funny way,” he said, highlighting that he finds it unacceptable when someone makes fun of his mother, even jokingly. When asked if this had happened to him before, the actor admitted that it had happened several times.

Kushal Tandon rose to fame with the show Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai and later gained more popularity through reality shows like Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi. Shivangi Joshi is known for her long-running role in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and has built a strong fan base through her work on television.

While the two never officially confirmed their relationship during Barsatein, their public appearances and social media posts kept fans speculating. Now that Kushal has made it clear that they are no longer a couple, his earlier thoughts on red flags in relationships seem to offer some insight into what may have gone wrong.
