Sushmita Sen not marrying Wasim Akram

Actress Sushmita Sen today dismissed reports as "absolute rubbish", suggesting that she is planning to tie the knot with Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram.

Earlier some reports alleged that the duo are planning to get married after seeing each other for a couple of years.

But the 37-year-old actress took to micro-blogging site Twitter to clarify the news, saying she is just good friends with 46-year-old Akram.

"Hi guys! Been reading about my upcoming wedding with Wasim... Absolute Rubbish. Goes to show just how irresponsible media can be sometimes.

"Wasim Akram is a friend and will always be one!! He has a wonderful lady in his life... Rumours like these are uncalled for and disrespectful," Sushmita said.

The former Miss Universe, who is a single parent to two adopted daughters Renee and Alisah, also said she will disclose when she gets married.

"My beautiful people... when I find 'The One'... You'll be the first to know. Benefits of being my twitter family!!".
