NEW DELHI - Actress Sushmita Sen and Pakistani
cricketer Wasim Akram rubbished reports suggesting that they are
planning to tie the knot and asked the media to respect their
privacy.Earlier some reports had stated that the duo are planning to get
married after seeing each other for a couple of years. But the
37-year-old actress took to micro-blogging site Twitter to clarify the
news, saying she is just good friends with 46-year-old Akram."Hi guys!
Been reading about my upcoming wedding with Wasim... Absolute Rubbish.
Goes to show just how irresponsible media can be sometimes. Wasim Akram
is a friend and will always be one!! He has a wonderful lady in his
life... Rumours like these are uncalled for and disrespectful," Sushmita
said.Akram also denied the rumours saying he wants to devote himself to
his children and is not planning to get married anytime soon. "I am
really fed up with these rumors and speculations made in the media. I
decided to take a year off from the Indian Premier League because I
wanted to give time to my two sons who are growing up and need their
father close to them."Right now my entire focus is on spending quality
time with them. There is no plan in my life now to get married," Wasim a
widower, whose wife Huma died in October, 2009 told PTI."I want to
devote my life to my sons. I think the media and people should not only
respect my privacy but also that of Sushmita who is a very graceful and
decent lady and a fine human being," he added. Sushmita and Akram met on
the sets of Indian television show 'Aik Khiladi Aik Haseena' in
2008.The former Miss Universe, who is a single parent to two adopted
daughters Renee and Alisah, also said she will disclose when she gets
married. "My beautiful people... when I find 'The One'... You'll be the
first to know. Benefits of being my twitter family!!"
