Naga Shaurya's actions contradicts his words

Lot has been spoken and written about Naga Shaurya and his love life with Niharika Konidela. It all started with Oka Manasu. From then on every now and then the couple show their affection towards each other and media is all frenzy.
The love birds have maintained that they are just friends. But Naga Shaurya's recent action tells us otherwise.
Niharika posted her picture along with a child asking who was cuter. Wasting no time Naga Shaurya responded that both are indeed cute and they should ward of evil eye by taking dristi.
With all this happening the actor still maintains that there is nothing between him and her. His clarifications are totally in contradiction to his actions.
