The two have been rumoured to be seeing each other since they began shooting together for "Sanam Re".
Pulkit says he and Yami are "way beyond" the stories written about their apparent off-screen romance.
"It's been nice that people have been loving the pairing. I haven't seen such a response to any pairing for a long time. It feels very nice. It is a huge compliment for the hard work that we have put in. We really appreciate that. I am very happy," the actor told PTI in an interview.
Pulkit and Yami have re-teamed for another love story, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's "Junooniyat" and the most of the buzz around the movie is courtesy their much talked-about equation.
The actor says people might feel that he and Yami decided to be a part of the film after working on "Sanam Re" but it was "Junooniyat" which the pair had signed first.
Jahaan Bakshi (Pulkit), and a simple yet strong-headed girl, Suhaani Kapoor, played by Yami.
For Pulkit, the fact that "Junooniyat" is a love story of two similar people sets it apart from other romantic films.
"A highlight of the story for me was that it is love between two very similar people. Normally, we see the story of two opposites falling in love but that's not the case here. I found that interesting.
A love story definitely demands a great on-screen chemistry between its actors but according to Pulkit chemistry not only depends on the performing artists, but the whole crew which works to get each romantic scene right.
"But the chemistry is also not only about the two people playing the characters. It is also about how well they are written and performed and that happens only when the entire team is in sync.
