Erica Fernandes has opened up about a past relationship and the reason she broke up with him. The actress was reportedly dating someone outside the entertainment industry. “It was kind of an off-and-on relationship that I had for about three and a half years. But, it didn’t work. People comment on why have I never mentioned who was my boyfriend at that point of time. Because I have never mentioned anybody’s names before because that’s respect. You know, no one wants the world to know their name or who I am with. That’s the respect I have shown. It should be like that,” Erica said during an interview with Bollywood Bubble.
