Roopal Tyagi may be playing an unlucky-in-love 'Gunjan' in 'Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke', but in real life, she has been in a steady relationship for over a year — with TV actorAkhlaque Khan. Akhlaque, currently seen in Sudhir Sharma's 'Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha', was seen at a party recently, strolling around with Roopal by his side.

So, what's brewing between the two? Says the actress, "I've known him for years, but we started dating a year ago. We were good friendsbefore we started dating."They say being in the same profession helps them understand each other's erratic schedules. Says Roopal, "Being in the same profession helps, because we respect each other's space and emotional needs." The actress aspires to work with Akhlaque some day. "I can't wait to work with him. We were offered a wild-card entry to NachBaliye, but couldn't take it up due to my health issues."

Though those who are close to Roopal and Akhlaque know about their relationship, marriage is not on the cards for now. So, have they planned anything special for Valentine Day? Says the couple, "We like to do something simple and sweet post shoot, but there are no plans as such. We always come up with last-minute awesome plans."
