When Ekta Kapoor cast Rajeev Khandelwal opposite Aamna Sharif in the show ‘Kahin To Hoga’, the audience went crazy over their on-screen chemistry. Aamna played Rajeev’s on-screen girlfriend ‘Kashish’ in the show. Soon, people started speculating that Aamna and Rajeev were dating each other in real life, and their on-screen chemistry paved the way for their off-screen love. After the show ended, Aamna Sharif signed a film with actor Aftab Shivdasani. Soon, speculations started to mount that she was dating Aftab and had left Rajiv. In 2008, when Rajiv was asked about the rumours of his affair with Aamna, he replied, ‘I am no longer related to Aamna. For three years, there were rumours of us dating each other. I think it has naturally ended now. Nobody connects me with Aamna anymore.’
