Priyanka says 'No' to Salman!

Harman Baweja, Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai

The promotional events for the film Love Story 2050 is gathering momentum. After the recent music launch, the film's lead actor Harman Baweja will now be seen on two high-profile game shows in quick succession.

Strangely, Harman will be accompanied by 'good friend' Priyanka Chopra in the grand finale of Shah Rukh Khan's Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hai, but will be seen solo on Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum.

The reason being that even though Priyanka and Salman had patched up after not being on talking terms for almost a year, things still don't seem to be on the right track. Although Salman and Priyanka have been paired opposite each other in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Salaam-E-Ishq they both were on good terms when they started working with each other, things soured later.

According to a source, it all started when Priyanka refused Salman's home production Main Aur Mrs Khanna. "Salman's ego couldn't accept that Priyanka had turned him down for whatever reasons. To get even, he started misbehaving with her by passing loud comments against her on the sets of God Tussi Great Ho, the only film in which they are starring together. At any given opportunity he would pass snide comments at Priyanka," says the source.

Even though Priyanka was taken aback by Salman's behaviour, she did her best to take it in her stride. It is to her credit that she never retaliated against Salman's behaviour in print or even in person. Priyanka's patience and silence paid off as Salman eventually backed off from his tongue lashing. It is all thanks to Priyanka's dignified silence that things went back to being cordial between the two of them socially. Deep within, however, Priyanka did not forget the fact that Salman was nasty to her.

Priyanka forgives but doesn't forget easily. She proved it so when she decided to stay away from Salman's game show. Even if it was for Harman's sake, she was not willing to compromise on her principles.

A source says, "Harman had requested Priyanka to accompany him for Salman's game show, but she refused him outright. However, she happily agreed to be part of Shah Rukh's show with Harman. Considering the fact that her film with Salman, God Tussi Great Ho will release in July, she could have combined the promotions of both her films by appearing on Salman's show and killed two birds with one stone. However, Priyanka chose not to give in to external pressures this time and preferred to honour her conscience instead."
