There
was
a
time
when
Parth
Samthaan
was
in
the
news
for
bad
reasons!
The
actor,
who
became
a
youth
icon
with
his
role
of
Manik
Malhotra
in
the
hit
show,
Kaisi
Yeh
Yaariyan,
was
embroiled
in
an
ugly
WhatsApp
scandal,
followed
by
his
fall-out
with
the
producer
Vikas
Gupta,
who
was
his
then
good
friend.
From
aspersions
being
cast
on
his
sexual
orientation
to
being
termed
as
a
publicity-hungry,
Parth
had
to
face
a
lot
of
things!
In
an
interview
with
Bollywoodlife,
way
back
in
2016,
Parth
clarified
that
he
is
straight
and
is
hoping
to
find
a
girlfriend.
How
Parth
Handled
Controversies?
About
the
controversies
and
how
he
handled
it,
the
actor
told
the
portal,
"I
was
in
shock
and
never
expected
things
to
happen
the
way
they
did.
I
was
a
bit
hurt
as
well
but
then,
controversies
are
a
part
of
your
life,
more
so
if
you
are
a
public
figure.
All
you
can
do
is
be
positive,
focus
on
your
work
and
hope
for
things
to
get
better.
Controversies
are
not
permanent,
nothing
is.
Such
issues
are
part
and
parcel
of
life."
‘Iss
Industry
Mein
Koi
Doodh
Ka
Dhula
Hua
Nahi
Hai’
A
lot
of
celebrities
too
lashed
out
at
Parth
for
deciding
to
take
legal
action
on
Vikas
Gupta,
but
Parth
had
said
that
he
doesn't
believe
in
the
blame
game
nor
in
the
concept
of
constant
justifications/clarifications
as
it
is
a
never-ending
cycle.
He
had
said
that
he
had
bigger
plans
and
was
not
stressing
too
much
as
it
would
put
him
in
the
negative
zone.
He
had
also
said
that
he
wanted
to
focus
on
acting
and
added,
"Iss
industry
mein
koi
doodh
ka
dhula
hua
nahi
hai."
‘I
Was
In
A
Relationship
With
A
Girl
With
Almost
A
Year
&
A
Half’
When
asked
about
his
family's
reaction
as
a
lot
of
aspersions
were
made
on
his
sexuality,
he
said,
"My
family
also
reads
the
papers,
so
they
are
aware
of
what's
happening.
I
have
clarified
everything
to
them
and
given
them
the
confidence
that
I
know
what
I
am.
I
was
in
a
relationship
with
a
girl
with
almost
a
year
and
a
half.
The
situation
right
now
is
such
that
if
talk
about
girls,
I
might
just
get
branded
as
a
womaniser."
‘I
Am
Very
Much
Straight’
He
further
said,
"I
am
very
much
straight.
Aap
mere
ko
kisi
ladki
ko
kiss
karne
ko
bolo,
main
full
passion
ke
saath
karunga
(laughs
uproariously).
However,
I
respect
people
of
different
sexual
orientations.
An
individual's
sexual
preference
should
be
respected.
I
am
straight
and
hoping
to
find
a
girlfriend
soon."
