"After her return to India, we are likely to go for a holiday. It can be of 10 days or more. Even during the shooting of the show, we got enough time to understand each other," he said, adding "she can even come to Dharamsala for a holiday break".

But Singh's eldest sister Usha, who is settled here, said he is still too young to think about taking this newfound relationship with Mallika to another level.


"Choosing a soulmate at this point in time is too immature. That was in screen only, not in real life. He still has miles to go," she said on being asked about his marriage plans.
v Before working for this reality show, Singh, who passed graduation from a local college, was a TV anchor.
