This place has a really great vibe. We’ve known each other for years and now I’ve come to spread light and happiness in Mika’s life. I can feel a lot of negativity in the air, the girls are frightened and fighting amongst themselves. No matter what, I’ll keep spreading love and happiness here,” the actress was quoted as saying.
Last year, there were rumours of Akanksha and Mika dating when the actress had attended Akhand Path at his house.
