Arjun Bijlani has had enough. The television actor, known for his roles in shows like 'Naagin' and 'Ishq Mein Marjawaan', took a firm stand against clickbait portals that have been linking him with actress Mouni Roy. In a blunt social media post, Bijlani made it clear that not every friendship needs to be viewed through a romantic lens.
Bijlani posted a screenshot of a speculative article on his Instagram stories. He wrote: 'Please don't spread lies and create fake news. Not every friendship needs a romantic angle.' The actor did not name any specific portal but made his displeasure clear.
He added: 'Stop using clickbait to get views. It's disrespectful to both me and Mouni.' The post drew immediate support from fans and fellow celebrities.
Actress Krystle D'Souza, a close friend of both Bijlani and Roy, also slammed the paparazzi page that first shared the rumour. She commented: 'What is this nonsense?' on the post, calling out the baseless speculation.
D'Souza's reaction added weight to the denial. The trio have often been seen together at events and on social media, but friends insist their bond is purely platonic.
Several television actors came out in support of Bijlani. Many shared his post and echoed his sentiment against fabricated gossip. The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the ethics of entertainment journalism in India.
Bijlani, who is married to Neha Swami, has often maintained a clear boundary between his professional and personal life. He has previously spoken against fake news targeting his family.
Mouni Roy, who is married to businessman Suraj Nambiar, has not yet commented on the rumours. Her team confirmed to TIVRA News that she is focused on her upcoming projects and does not wish to engage with baseless speculation.
Bijlani has not indicated if he will take legal action. But his public rebuke has put clickbait portals on notice. Fans expect more celebrities to speak out against such practices as the debate over responsible reporting continues.
