With excitement, Haasan talks about her relationship and shares that she is very happy with Hazarika. Describing the relationship the two share as “unconventional”, she further says, “Santanu and I live a very unconventional life. We don’t follow societal norms We don’t care if people are approving or not approving of us not getting married. As long as we are best of friends, good to each other and hold respect for one another, I don’t see any problem.”

Haasan further shares how the two are there for each other in times of joy and crisis. “We are there for each other and support each other during hard times. It’s feels better when you have someone while you struggle. It’s better than dealing with everything alone. I don’t think there is anything better than what we share.”

Haasan and Hazarika have also worked together on former’s latest song under their production house. Talking about their work relationship, she says, “We worked together to create Monster Machine and it was a great experience for both of us. In the work space, while we both are disciplined, there is a huge difference in our personalities. I am always on my toes…always anxious and wants to get things done right then right there. But he is very calm and relaxed that way. I am always panicking and he is always calming me down. So we kind of balance each other out,” says Haasan.
