Priyanka defends Shahid

Priyanka Chopra on Tuesday May 12th evening launched the website of her Yash Raj Productions film Pyaar Impossible. The film is directed by actor turned filmmaker Jugal Hansraj and co-stars her with Uday Chopra.

Priyanka launched the website of her romantic comedy film – www.pyaarimpossible.in and then speaking about her role in the film said, "I play the beauty and Uday plays the geek. But in real life, when I was in school-college I was very geeky."

During the media interaction a journalist asked her reaction to the recent comments made by Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan that their names were being unnecessarily dragged for publicizing her forthcoming film Kaminey with her "good friend' Shahid Kapoor. Priyanka like a true loyal "good friend' gave a fitting reply to Kareena (she was Shahid's ex girlfriend remember) and Saif's accusations made in a Mumbai tabloid few days back. Priyanka said, "Kaminey is directed by Vishal Bharadwaj whose directorial credentials don't need any introduction and it is produced by UTV which is amongst the best production houses in the country today. I have seen the film and I feel it's a brilliant piece of work. All those who will see the film will definitely love it. We as the team of Kaminey are extremely well equipped and capable of publicizing the film and don't require any outside help for the same."

Few days back Kareena and Saif had reportedly claimed that their names were needlessly dragged to gain publicity for his films by Shahid. Kareena was in fact quoted stating, "Shahid should move on."
