Speaking about the ups and downs in her relationship, Erica told Siddharth Kannan in an interview, "It is not like relationships don't have their ups and downs. They definitely do. It is important to have that understanding, that if one is angry, the other remains calm. Later, when tempers cool down, then we have a discussion. I think that thing is there between us and that is how we have held it together," she said.

Link-ups and rumours of her affairs took a toll on her relationship

Erica also revealed that her boyfriend can't tolerate watching her romance with other men in her shows. "He does like watching a little bit of my work but he doesn't like to watch when I romance any other guy. Woh uth ke chala jaata hai, ki 'nahi dekhna mujhe'," she said.

The actress further said that the link-ups and rumours about her affairs with her co-stars did affect her relationship to an extent.

"See...kahin na kahin affect toh hota hai. Aur isi wajah se I just wanted to come out and say," Erica said.
