Ashi Singh, of Sony show, Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai, is a bit miffed with a certain section of her fans, who keep intruding into her personal space. "While I appreciate your love, I don't like being told what to do or not.

"They want me to date co-star Randeeep Rai, but we are just good professional colleagues, nothing more. We have a good on-screen tuning and regard each other as helpful co-artists.

"What really gets my goat is that some fans text my male friends, asking them to stay away from me. As a result, I can't even post pictures with them. Without knowing the real deal, they start online bashing. Recently, there was an incident with my show's associate Gaurav. The fans went after him, thinking that he was harassing me, but it was nothing like that; he is a good friend.

What will happen if you really start to date someone? "They might kill him, she says, matter of factly.

Ashi, who is currently shooting her on-screen shaadi, is not contemplating marriage yet. "Right now, I am too busy in my career. Here she does admit that marriage can sometimes act as a road block in a woman's career. "For, certain families might demand that the girl call time on work after marriage or childbirth.

When asked to describe her ideal guy, she says, "If you had asked me this question two or three years back, I might have said tall, dark and handsome; but right now, I just want someone with whom I can connect heart to heart. Whether he is from the industry or not is also secondary, she ends.
