Aamir told ETimes, “Everybody deserves love. Of course, someone had to move on before anything happened, and someone is moving on now. I`m in a happy space as I get to know her closely and nicely. It feels different. It feels good. And I`m enjoying this place. I always tell her one thing: Thank you for making me realise I still have a heart. It just started now, almost five months. It`s just the beginning of something.”
He added, “I started thinking, ‘I don`t think I`m capable enough (to love) any more’. And then this happened. It all happened in a week’s time. I was like – Why am I behaving like this? Why am I being a little more emotional than normal? Then I realised I like this girl.”

In an earlier interview with Hauterrfly, Sanjeeda shared, “I feel I am very lucky (to have emerged from) whatever happened with me.
