He became friends with the Indian TV actor Anita Hassanandani while shooting for the TV serial Kkavyanjaliâ (2005). Soon, they started dating each other. There were even rumours that she got engaged to Khan. In one of the old interviews, Anita said,
Sometimes the attention becomes difficult to handle! But I have no qualms in admitting that Eijaz is one of the best things to have happened in my life. I consider myself really lucky to have come close to a wonderful person like Eijaz. People keep on asking us when we are getting married. My only request to them and everyone else is to have a bit more patience. Both of us are concentrating on our careers now and want to get settled their completely before settling down on the personal front! We will plan marriage when we feel we are ready!â
- Their happy love life started facing problems when Anita got to know that Eijaz was cheating on her, and finally they parted ways in 2010. In an interview, Eijaz said,
It was the one and only time I cheated on somebody. She came to know later and I confessed. I tried my best to repair the relationship, but we couldnât mend the irreparable damage that had already been done. It was then that we decided it would be best to let it go. Cheating on her will remain my biggest regret.â
- Eijaz cheated Anita for the Italian-Canadian singer Natalie Di Luccio (now wife of Raghu Ram ) whom he met at the airport where he returned her lost passport. They became friends and started dating each other. They were in a serious relationship, but their relationship was not meant to last long. In an interview, Eijaz said,
We were two amazing people at different phases in our lives. The root cause of our relationship falling apart was my psyche. It started going downhill during âLaut Aao Trishaâ. I played a dark character, which turns bitter after losing his wife and daughter. Somewhere, the lines blurred between real and reel and our relationship suffered. I had to undergo therapy for depression, and it made me realise that I was superimposing my childhood memories to play the part.â
- Talking about Natalie, he further said,
Coming back to Natalie, we remain cordial. I never loved anybody like I loved her â like a child, my equal, a friend, travel partner. I donât think it was right for me to expect Natalie to give her precious time to our relationship. I would have also advised her to focus on her career if I were her family. I am the only person who knows the real Natalie. After she left, I was very disturbed to the point of not wanting to live anymore. I would lock myself up in my room for days on end. As actors, we are emotionally fragile. On top of that, we men are expected to be macho and strong, no matter how broken we are inside.â
- Eijazâs relationship with Nidhi Kashyap came into the media when she accused him of physically assaulting her. She filed a case against him in Amboli Police Station, Mumbai. She later patched up with Eijaz and went to stay at his apartment. Eijaz was not happy with this relationship and ended it soon after this incident. In an interview, he said,
Due to some reasons, she shifted to my apartment and we got into a relationship. But I realised after a few months that it was not what I wanted. I started telling her that it was not meant to be. But she got carried away and tried to file a police complaint against me because of which I could not attend Tanu Weds Manu promotions. I had to leave Mumbai for a couple of days because of that. She took away my pets to punish him for calling off the relationship.â
- He is a dog lover and has many pet dogs including Mukteshwar , Blossom, Katori, and Maxx. In one of his Instagram post, he wrote,
I got a female dog called Blossom, which was a first for me. When I brought her home, she was in a bad shape. She had been tied on the highway for two weeks, had maggots all over her body and had trust issues. She needed tough love but in reality, she saved me. Taking care of her helped me through the past few months.â

While talking about the embarrassing experience during romantic romps which he had, he said
Onscreen â once I was doing a heavy-duty make out scene in âKavvyanjaliâ. The scene was OK in one take but I thought camera didnât catch my actions while panning so I asked for the re-take then Anita turned around and gave me a look and said why do you want a retake, I had to explain her. I felt very stupid about it. I make romance perfectly in real life.â
He was admitted in a hospital in 2019 when he was detected with Typhoid.

He was in depression due to his troubled personal life for which he underwent therapy. In an interview, he said
I was so depressed that I went to Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh for three months. I went with no money. I was washing utensils and eating in restaurants. I havenât spoken about this before. I was at the peak of my career, but nobody recognised me there. There, I decided it was time to focus on self-love than finding validation through anything elseâŚI just had one pair of pants and bought 2 second-hand sweaters. And I remember just crying sitting in the mountains asking, why me? Because I had all the necessities I needed for a good, successful life, but I was not happyâŚI spoke to many people there, and learnt a lot. I didnât get all my answers there, but it just changed my perspective towards life.â
- In 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, he wrote a post on his Instagram,
There should be counselling for people, as many might have had extreme experiences during the lockdown. Now, it will be difficult to go back to normal. In the first month, I cried a lot over things like migrant labourers walking back home and I would feel guilty about having basic stuff. The pandemic forced me to delve into myself and it was the best therapy that I didnât pay for. There were many lows, too, and I am a private person so opening up is tough. I became disillusioned, wouldnât eat for eight hours, and ended up scrolling through social media for hours. It seemed like the lockdown wouldnât end soon.â
He loves to travel on his Royal Enfield motorcycle.
