According to sources, Pratik is not even on talking terms with Soniya. They have known each other for ages, but contrary to her claims, they're not friends. She has a bit of a crush on the actor and her actions make it very clear.
Even when they were seen holding hands in public, it was she who held Pratik's hand. That was her way of being in the news; by being linked up to Pratik. He doesn't talk to her anymore now.
