Mumbai: Nach Baliye 9 ex-contestant Muskaan Kataria accused former boyfriend Faisal Khan of cheating on her twice with his Chandragupta Maurya co-star Sneha Wagh. She also alleged the child artist of not spending enough time with her.
In an interview, Muskaan said, “Faisal first cheated on me nine months ago. She was a friend of his, and I caught him after I saw his chat conversations. He apologised to me profusely and I decided to give our relationship a second chance, as I truly loved him. If I was with him for money or the limelight, there were several opportunities for me to cash in on my relationship with a celebrity, but I didn’t. The decision to make our relationship public was his and not mine. Probably, he wanted to break away from his image of a child artiste.”
“On day one, I rushed to the hospital along with my mother to see him, but was shocked to see his co-actor accompanying him everywhere. The next day, I was told not to visit as his father was not comfortable having me around. I was in utter shock as they used to treat me like family. Even the messages sent to him by my parents, enquiring about his health, did not elicit a response. I think he distanced himself from me when he realised that he won’t be able to continue on Nach Baliye, and I was of no use to him. I don’t want to take anyone’s name, but I am sure that he was cheating on me with her even during Nach Baliye. She was with him throughout at the hospital when I should have been the one by his side. I found it awkward, but decided not to create a scene because of his condition.”
“He would turn up late for rehearsals, though he packed up by 9 or 10 pm from Chandragupta Maurya. I learnt that he was spending time with his co-actor from the show, after pack-up.”
Earlier, reacting to the allegations of closeness with Sneha, Faisal had said, “Sneha and I are thick friends and there is nothing more to it. In fact, Sneha and my other co-actor Tarun Khanna helped me come out of my difficult phase.”
