"I am tired of ignoring friend requests on my social networking account from the gay community. Everyday I am getting hundreds of add requests from gays all over the country. Everybody wants to add me. They are expressing their likes and dislikes about the topic. I can't even change my account. It's irritating explaining people that I am straight and not gay," he says. But it isn't just the social networking account that is troubling this new gay icon on the small screen. "I was shocked when some of my male friends confessed in me that they were gay after reading my interview.

People are also thinking me to be bi sexual. I don't want to be the gay icon," he shrugs. And the lads is quite determined of not wanting to be the gay icon of India. "I have no plans of being the straight gay icon. I just want to play my character sincerely. I don't want gays to fantasize about me or admire me. I am straight and will always remain that ways. Thankfully my girl friend is aware about all these happenings in my life."
