In 2022, Eijaz and Pavitra had confirmed their engagement by sharing proposal photos on their social media handles, which were later deleted following their breakup.

Eijaz had captioned the pictures, "Baby, if we keep waiting for the right time, It’s never gonna be, I promise you my best, Will you marry me? She said “yes“. He also added the hashtags #taken and #official, revealing the date of the engagement to be October 3.

Pavitra had also reacted to the post, writing, "May the lord protect us from evil eye. Let there be love love and love."

After their breakup in 2023, Pavitra revealed the real reason behind her split with Eijaz. Speaking to Telly Masala, she said, "Koshish karte rahe. Ab ye baat main bahut auraton ko bolti hoon. Aurat submissive achi lagti hai no doubt. Aurat fragile, feminine achi lagti hai, samjha mujhe. "

She continued, "But when a woman is sitting quietly like that, you will approach her with care because she is speaking to you gently. I tell this to every woman – if a man keeps suppressing you, he is a narcissist. Don't stay with him. In our case, it reached a point where we tried and tried, but it didn't work. How much could we keep trying?"
