The media members reported that Kumar began dating actress Twinkle Khanna (Shetty's close friend), when he was in a relationship with Shetty. Shetty professed in an interview to feeling "angry" and "betrayed" for a long time, but "I was quiet earlier as i was waiting for the completion of the filming of Dhadkan, as I did not want my producers to suffer a loss just because of my personal life."Whenever asked in the media about his relationship with Shetty and the subsequent break-up, Kumar kept quiet and never admitted to the infidelity.
