Boyfriend/Dating
A little birdie whispered in our ears that this petite lady is apparently dating actress Madhurjeet Sargi's brother Zoravar Singh an aspiring actor. The couple met in Punjab and it was love at first sight for Zoravar who kept chasing Surbhi. She recently accepted his proposal.

When contacted, Surbhi said, "I just know him through a common friend. In fact, he is not even on my phone contact list. So, it's obvious that I am not dating him." but Zoravar hit a different tone. "No we are not dating but, we are very good friends. We went to college together and also participated in plays." Well.. two different statements here. What to believe?
Some Intresting facts
Surbhi said I am scared of lizards. I am short-tempered. I am a bookworm. I cry a lot both when happy and sad so I dont use glycerine while shooting for the show. Tears come naturally to me.
