A dinner outing turned into dating gossip, but Arjun Bijlani is now making his stand clear. The actor has addressed the rumours linking him with longtime friend Mouni Roy and asked for more responsibility while discussing their personal lives.
The speculation started after a video of Arjun and Mouni stepping out after dinner surfaced online. The two have known each other for years and have also worked together as co-stars, but Arjun says their bond is simply friendship.
Arjun Bijlani Explains Why His Bond With Mouni Roy Is Just Friendship
During a recent media interaction, Arjun was accompanied by his wife Neha Swami when the rumours came up. He explained that Mouni has been a close friend for several years and pointed out that Neha herself was also supposed to be part of the dinner plan that night.
Arjun further shared that even while he was in Goa recently, Neha and Mouni were making plans to go out together. For him, these moments are simply part of a long-standing friendship and should not automatically be given a romantic angle.

Arjun also became protective of Mouni while addressing the speculation surrounding her personal life. He described her as a very close friend and requested media platforms not to publish negative or unverified claims about her.
He specifically pointed out that Mouni is currently going through a difficult phase, making it even more important to be careful about what is written about her.

The actor also questioned the assumption that two people being seen together automatically means there is a relationship between them. He felt the dinner outing had been portrayed differently from what actually happened.
Arjun made his position especially clear by saying, “And I also have a family,” while asking people to be more responsible. His comments come after earlier criticism of clickbait-driven stories surrounding his friendship with Mouni.
For now, the dating buzz remains a rumour, while Arjun Bijlani and Mouni Roy continue to describe their bond as a long-standing friendship.
