Riddhi Dogra has addressed the ongoing buzz around her bond with Siwet Tomar from the reality show The 50, putting all dating rumours to rest. Their growing closeness during the show had caught the attention of viewers, who often speculated about a possible romance between the two. Now, Riddhi has responded clearly and firmly, explaining the true nature of their relationship.

In a recent interaction with Filmy Gyaan, Riddhi opened up about her equation with Siwet and said, “It cannot be anything else because we were in a very very high intensity place, you needed somebody who can give you, I think friendship, that is what it was. Like I said, aap logo ne moments dekhe hai. I can understand you know there is a lot of 'young audience' attached to the show. I have done television and I know how people get connected to 'pairs' on television or people you see everyday. I have been there before, I know this. So I completely understand their love, It is very sweet ke itna pyaar de rahe hai hum dono ko. But we are people at the end of the day, we are not somebody in a reality show. So in reality, I wish him well.”
