Wouldn't Siddhartha Mallya object?
Why? My decisions are totally mine.
You were more open about your relationship with Ranbir Kapoor...
I've reached a stage where I don't need to talk about my personal life. Whether someone is there or is not there, whether something is happening or not ufffd though people want to know, they don't need to know.
What's the funniest rumour you heard about yourself?
That Siddhartha has gifted my new house to me.
You are doing three movies with Saif. Aren't you apprehensive that your pairing with Saif could be over-exposed?
Love Aaj Kal just happened. It's coincidence that we have Aarakshan,u00a0 Cocktail and Race coming up one after another. In fact, we didn't know we were being offered the same films. The filmmakers concerned approached us individually. But yes, we do share a great rapport and I love working with him. As for worrying about over-exposure, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif did a lot of films as a pair till people got tired of seeing them together. I hope that doesn't happen to us.
Every time you shoot an outdoor spell with Saif, his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor lands up at the location...
That's her personal issue. She comes to spend time with Saif. I don't think it's our concern.
Coming back to your films, Aarakshan seems like a male-dominated movie. Aren't you perturbed about being just a glamour quotient in it?
I've gone completely with my gut instinct. My character is an important voice in the movie. Besides, she's also torn between her father and her boyfriend. The film also explores how reservation can cause differences and strain on personal relations between people. However, if people still think I'm just a glam factor, it's okay. I love it.
Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra and even Asin are said to be your rivals. Do you have any friends in the industry?
The industry is far too competitive to have best friends. I'm cordial with everyone. But yes, Shahana Goswami is a very good friend.
What about Sonam Kapoor?
Somewhere, I don't think we've been able to keep in touch even if we wanted to. Seeing Koffee With Karan, many people thought we're very good friends. But honestly, we were meeting on the show after many months.
