Erica Fernandes has finally put a closure to all the rumors, which suggested that she is dating her Kasustii Zindagii Kay co-star Parth Samthaan. The actress has vehemently denied all the rumors and stated that while she and Parth are good friends, they are not dating each other.

Erica said, "It is news to me that such rumors are out there. But, I guess, rumors are a part and parcel of the entertainment industry. I have known Parth since we started working together on our TV show and we shoot every day."

The actress further added, "We are good friends and have a great working relationship. Whenever we chill together, we have a whole bunch of people with us. When we go for events, we are often leaving from our set, so yes, we do leave together. That doesn't mean we go home together. In fact, we live in different parts of the city."

Erica also stated that such rumors don't bother her as she knows the truth. "People believe what they want to believe. We are good friends but we are not dating. I can't stop them nor can I explain things to everyone. From day one, we got along well. And link-ups are a common occurrence in shows with romantic storylines. It doesn't bother me as I know the truth and I can't stop them," she concluded.

Prior to Parth, Erica for a long time was rumored to be in a relationship with her Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi co-star Shaheer Sheikh.
