No it wasn't asked. The interview was general. Talked about how he came to industry, struggle days, overall how it feels shooting away, equations with actors all in general, how he gets linked with everyone.
The part that we all want to know. When asked who is he closest to in sets, he said Alice first and then said Alice and Kinshuk. His favorite ShiVi scene will be aired this week. When asked if these rumors effect his equation with Alice, he said no. But he did say that he was "misquoted" couple of days ago and had to get it corrt. He said he told that Whener he dates Alice or anyone else, he'll tell everyone because then then that Chip's off your shoulders and people won't ask. But when the headline came out it just said Alice and she asked he "are yeh kya hai" when she first saw it and he had to get it corrected. But he said they're in this profession and there are rumors with everyone from his past shows, so it doesn't effect him or them.
