In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Cheshta revealed that Nikhil was in touch with his ex-girlfriend and was with her while he was dating Cheshta. She said, "I tried to brush it under the carpet and ignore many signs. However, I didn't want the toxicity to increase and thus decided to end it. I learned about his two-timing and it is only recently that his girlfriend called me and there were many revelations for me as well.

Right after fans realized that the duo had unfollowed each other on social media, they passed judgment on Cheshta. She said, "I received many harsh messages. Some messages revolved around how I deserved the heartbreak because I broke up with Arjun on the show for Nikhil. However, they do not know that if it was not with Nikhil, I would still have broken up with Arjun and walked out solo from the show. Arjun and my relationship had no scope."

Cheshta Bhagat on coping with the heartbreak
The Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi actress said, "The major challenge was to get judged by people. I didn't want to come out in the open about my break-up. However, the first step of coping with heartbreak is accepting the reality and for that I needed closure. That's why I decided to talk about it. Currently, I am not reading about what people are writing. I don't want to dwell on it. I am taking one day at a time."
