Stories connecting you with Deepika don't seem to stop.
Deepika and me have fortunately done a successful film together and we have been in a relationship in the past, but it is hard for people to imagine how we have both moved on in our lives. She is doing well and I am proud of her achievements, but we have not been in touch after YJHD. I hope people can distinguish between us and that we are working together only as professionals. There is nothing common in our lives other than the films we have done or will do. I have never ever involved myself with casting. That's the director's prerogative. I am doing Imtiaz's film irrespective of his heroine. Even if he had taken a five-year-old boy to work opposite me, I would have done it.

Do you think it was a wrong move to be so harsh on her? Should he have been more polite about her? He should a lot like his father Rishi Kapoor when he spoke about Deepika. He certainly ended up pissing off her fans as well as fans of the Ranbir-Deepika pair who contributed to the success of YJHD. Otherwise its rarely seen that the positive momentum gained from one film doesnt have a positive impact on another.
