Relationship dynamics
There is nothing bad between us, says Chamola

Public perception
Addressing fan speculation
Chamola also addressed the speculation that fans believed they would reconcile because they were still communicating and appearing together publicly.

"But we are not getting that couple-like feeling anymore."
Parenthood discussions
