It is worth mentioning that at that time, Rahul was going through a tough phase in his married life with Priyanka Sarkar. Slowly and gradually, Rahul and Sandipta made multiple public appearances, intensifying their dating rumorus. Later, they also appeared in the show, Aye Khuku Aye. Even though the show did not work well, their chemistry was highly appreciated.

Over the years, Rahul Banerjee’s actions and gestures towards Sandipta Sen often sparked dating rumours. According to reports, Rahul once penned a special note to wish Sandipta on her birthday. For the same, he wrote, "You are the address of my whole heart...Happy birthday, Sandipta." Later, during an interview, when he was asked about his equation with Sandipta, he shared:
"Sandipta and I share a good friendship between us and nothing more. Frankly speaking, I don’t care about these rumours."
During a conversation with Ananda Bazar Patrika in 2021, when Sandipta Sen was asked about his equation with Rahul Banerjee, the actress slammed reports and shared that the audience loved their on-screen chemistry and misinterpreted it to be a real-life romance. When Sandipta was questioned if she was the reason behind Rahul and Priyanka’s divorce, she shared:
"All I can say is that Rahul is a very good friend of mine. I've always been by his side, and I've always been by his side. I can't control what anyone thought. Last year, Priyanka and I worked together in a music video. Maybe he is not a very good friend of mine. But when we meet, we talk, we laugh at each other."

After years of intense rumours involving Sandipta and Rahul, the actress surprised everyone by getting married to Soumya Mukherjee. In December 2023, the actress took to her Instagram handle to share some dreamy snaps from the ceremony. In the first photo, Soumya could be seen filling Sandipta's maang with sindoor. Along with that she shared some cutesy photos with her husband, in which she was holding Soumya's hands. For the big day, Sandipita opted for a pink-coloured silk saree that featured golden threadwork.
