Of late, the actor has been consciously guarding details about his personal life. In fact, at the trailer launch of his upcoming film 'Shaandaar', he snubbed all questions related to his married life and wife, Mira Rajput. Adds the source, "Shahid likes to keep his personal life personal. He does not enjoy it when the jokes and comments go overboard."

Manish denies the buzz and says, "(There is) nothing like that. We are having a lot of fun on the set. There is no problem at all."

While Shahid was unavailable for comment, the channel's spokesperson says: "There is absolutely no truth to it. Shahid is fond of Manish and their chemistry is very good which is visible on the show. We are surprised with these rumours being floated."
