Former Bigg Boss 14 couple Eijaz Khan and Pavitra Punia are set to share screen space once again in an upcoming short film titled Naffs, produced by actress Dalljiet Kaur. Though the duo broke up in September 2023, the film was actually shot three years ago, shortly after their exit from the Bigg Boss house.
Confirming the news to Hindustan Times, Eijaz said, “Humne yeh teen saal pehle shoot kiya tha. Iss se zyada I don’t want to comment about this. Dalljiet se jaa kar pucho.” (We shot this three years ago. I don’t want to comment further, please ask Dalljiet about it.) Dalljiet, meanwhile, praised both actors for their professionalism and talent. Sharing an Instagram story, she wrote, “You both are thorough professionals. Outstanding actors. It was a pleasure working with both of you. Couldn’t have cast anyone else for this project! Naffs has turned out to be pure MAGIC.”

Speaking further with HT, Dalljiet said she informed both Eijaz and Pavitra about the film’s release in advance, and they were supportive. She acknowledged their breakup but highlighted that their on-screen chemistry was undeniable. “As individuals and outstanding artists, they were literally like fire on screen. It was an amazing experience,” she said.

She also clarified that neither actor will be required for joint promotions, respecting their current dynamics. “They’ve always shown complete trust and faith in me,” she added.
Eijaz and Pavitra’s romance blossomed during Bigg Boss 14 (2020–2021). While they had their fair share of disagreements on the show, their chemistry won fans’ hearts. They continued dating for over two years before parting ways in 2023.
