My equation with SRK doesn't matter: Arjun Rampal

However, asked if there is any truth attached to these rumours', Rampal retorts, "How does my equation with Shah Rukh bother people?" Prod him further on if he's still friends with him, and he replies with a raised brow, "But why do I have to tell people all that ... how does my personal relationship with someone matter to other people?"

Personal differences' aside, there are some other things that irk him " clichd questions people ask about his fitness secret, for instance. "In every interview they want to know how I have built my body, what's my daily fitness regime ... so it kinds of gets repetitive," says the 40-year-old, who was last seen in the Prakash Jha film, Satyagraha.

Rampal will next be seen playing a negative character, Roy, in a film by the same name.
