Several reports were making the rounds that Kasautii Zindagii Kay lead actors Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes are dating each other. Although they have constantly denied it, the rumours refused to die down. Now, Erica has hinted about being in a relationship thanks to her recent Instagram post. Not only a relationship, but the actor also sparked engagement rumours via the image she posted on the photo-sharing app.

A while back, Erica shared a photo of holding an unknown man's life and flaunting her gold ring too. She captioned the post with a heartfelt message appreciating her partner. Erica wrote, "When I’m with you, I act different, in a good way of course. I always smile more I always laugh more With you I can drop the fake smile (if any) and put on a real one. I don’t feel hurt or alone when I’m with you instead I feel safe and loved You’re easy to talk to and you listen to me. I don’t feel sad around you and you show me that you really do care in-fact I can see that you’re not pretending. I really appreciate what you’ve done and continue to do. Coz with you I’m different I’m happy #us"

She concluded the post by stating, "p.s:- if that's what your thinking then Nah not engaged."

Now, during an interaction with Pinkvilla, Erica cleared the rumours about her post by saying, "When I put up the post, I didn't think too much as honestly, this was just a general post about my personal life and space. A lot of people think I am very secretive in certain aspects, but that is not true, as I prefer being more private about my personal life. So today I just thought of opening up a bit more to people so that they can know a little more information about my own space, but again not too much! So, for now, this small sneak peek is more than enough from my side."
