Kangana:
"Upen and me? Please! He's just not my type at all. We converse at two different tangentsā¦Rather, He does all the talking. When Upen talks there's little for anyone else to say. I'm shocked at reports back home that I'm 'impressed' by Upen. Please! Is he Mr Dilip Kumar or Mr Amitabh Bachchan that I'd be impressed? I've better things to do than to get impressed with someone who's just a co-star. I wonder who's spreading these rumors. It's not me because I've nothing to gain from being linked with Upen."
"Look, I don't act extra friendly with a co-star when cameras are around. I'm very frank. If I get into a relationship, or even begin to get interested in a man, I'd scream from the rooftops. I don't hide my feelings, because I can't. Upen is just not my type. His dreams, aspirations and methods of self-projection are quite different from mine. I can't even connect with his conversation. Given a chance I'd just like to share a professional rapport with him. Honestly I just want to go back home."
Upen Patel:
"Kangana and I get along like a house on fire. She with her Himachal accent, me with my British-Gujju accent, we're quite a pair. But there's nothing more to our friendship. I wish people wouldn't be so provincial in their perceptions on friendships. Can't two people have fun without being involved with one another? Kangana and I enjoy one another's company so far away from home. We rib each other constantly. And I suspect my behaviour is being reported back home as flirting. But that's the way I am."
