Newcomers Aadhitya Baaskar and Gouri G Kishan played the younger versions of Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha, in the recently released 96. It was speculated that the reel life couple were in love in real life. However, Gouri took to her Twitter space to deny those speculations as baseless rumours and added that they both are close friends.
Gouri tweeted, "@AadhityaBaaskar and @Gourayy are NOT in a relationship. No, we're not in love with each other. We both played the part of #Ram and #Janu as lovers on screen NOT off-screen. Please stop spreading these #FalseAllegations & #FakeNews. Show some #Respect"
