Ashmit whose whirlwind romance with Veena Malik on the television show grabbed many eyeballs, barely a week after the show ended, has taken a completely new turn stating that he was never involved with Pakistani beauty.
"Veena is not my type. I have spent months with her, and that's enough time to know how well you gel with a person, and whether you can have a long-term thing with them.
"She said 'I love you' to me on the show, but I never said it back. There is nothing from my side," said the actor, who turned 33 yesterday.
The actor also put to rest speculation that the two shared intimate moments during the shoot saying, "We did not kiss. This is the work of over-imaginative minds."
Was the whole drama scripted to boost TRPs?
What's cooking between Ashmit and Sara?
Outside the 'Bigg Boss 4' house, Ashmit has shifted his gaze from Veena Malik to Sara Khan, who recently broke-up with beau Ali Merchant after their on-screen marriage, and is busy taking care of her.
Post Bigg Boss, Ashmit is bonding with TV actor Sarah Khan, who is currently going through a rough patch in her married life, and meets her daily.
"She is very upset right now, and I am supporting her. She comes over to my place every day after work," Ashmit said.
Ashmit celebrates 33rd birthday with family
Ameesha Patel, who reconciled with brother Ashmit and her parents last year, threw a lavish birthday party on Ashmit's 33rd birthday at a lounge in central Mumbai last night.
A source close to the family said, "Ameesha and her family are very happy that Ashmit reached the finals of Bigg Boss 4. For them, he's already a winner. It' a celebratory time for all of them.
"The family decided to throw a big birthday party for him at Veda. Many of Miss Patel's friends including Sanjay and Manaayata Dutt were invited.
"While the actress took care of all the decorations and birthday cake, their parents organised the event. The actress made personal calls to the guests while her bro messaged them."
While Patel's eye candy Veena Malik has gone back to Pakistan, Bollywood actor and host Salman Khan made it to the birthday bash.
"Also, Salman is the special guest at this party and the BB4 host is expected to attend as he's very fond of Ashmit," the source informed.
Apart from Bollywood personalities, 'Bigg Boss 4' contestants, Rahul Bhatt, Shweta Tiwari, and Sameer Soni, too, were invited to the party.
