Addressing his equation with Yogesh after their fallout in the house, Varun clarified that there was never any bitterness between them. "Nothing like that. At the end, Yogesh felt that Ram sir suddenly came between our bond. But then I had clarified with him later about everything that happened. He thought I only keep Aarush as my closest, but it's not like that. Yogesh is also my brother and we share the same bond outside," he said.
