Parineeti Chopra on dating director Maneesh Sharma: I don't have a romantic life

August 17, 2016

Mumbai, Aug 17: It's been five years since Parineeti Chopra made her Bollywood debut. But unlike other actors, she has been linked to more or less only one man in the industry- her first director, Maneesh Sharma. Though, the two have remained silent on their relationship status all these years, recently the news of their patch up started doing the rounds, after a brief break up.

But the Shuddh Desi Romance actor has finally opened up about her relationship status with Maneesh. In an interview to Hindustan Times, Parineeti has rubbished all the rumours calling them "very funny".

"I haven't met Maneesh for over two-three months. I didn't even know that he had gone on a holiday. We spoke on the phone sometime back, and he asked me, 'Apparently, you have been coming to my cabin every day (at producer Aditya Chopra's office) and meeting me. But mera kaunsa cabin hai (which cabin do I have)?'" she said.

But the 27-year-old actor also says that such rumours do affect her life as things at times do get out of hands. "Maneesh and I have known each other for six years. And for six years, we have been saying the same thing - we are not dating. It's too much, because my personal life gets affected by these things, which people don't understand," she added.

Recently, Parineeti was also linked up to her Shuddh Desi Romance co-star Sushant Singh Rajput and the actor was surprised to hear such rumours as she hasn't met him in a long time. "Such reports do affect our lives. There were some stories about Sushant and me as well, but I have not met him in a year. The stories said that we met one night, and suddenly, his break up happened because of me. I was like, 'Wow, I don't even remember the last time I spoke to him.' People around me were making fun of me, saying, 'Why are these romantic stories being published about you?' Because I don't have a romantic life," she said.

On the work front, Parineeti will be next seen in Meri Pyaari Bindu opposite Ayushamnn Khurrana.

A gang has been spreading rumours about me in the Hindi film industry that is preventing him from getting work, says Academy award-winning music director A R Rahman.

Collaborations between him and the Hindi film industry have reduced as a result, he adds

The maestro had composed music for Sushant Singh Rajput's Dil Bechara said that the reason he is not doing a lot of work is that a gang has been spreading rumours about him which resulted in him getting fewer projects.

Rahman's comments come amidst a raging insider versus outsider debate in Bollywood following actor Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise last month.

During an interview with Radio Mirchi, the Oscar-winning music director was asked the reason for doing less Hindi films.

Rahman said there has been "misunderstanding" between him and filmmakers as some people have been spreading "false rumours" about him in the industry.

"See, I don’t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumours. So when Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He said, 'Sir, how many people said don’t go, don’t go (to him). They told me stories after stories'," he said.

"I heard that, and I said, 'yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less (work) and why the good movies are not coming to me.' I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are doing harm," the composer added.

Rahman has composed the music for Rajput's last movie "Dil Bechara", which premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on Friday. The film, directed by Mukesh Chhabra, also features Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan.

The composer further said that he is aware of people's expectations from him but the "gang" is getting in his way.

"People are expecting me to do stuff, but there is another gang of people preventing that from happening. It is fine because I believe in destiny. I believe that everything comes from God.

"So, I am taking my own movies and doing my other stuff. But all of you are welcome to come to me. You make beautiful movies, and you are welcome to come to me," Rahman added.

Dubbed ‘Mozart of Madras’, A R Rahman has composed soundtracks for movies like Swades, Dil Se, Guru, Rockstar and more recently Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara. 

The composer won two Academy Awards in 2009 for his songs in the popular Hollywood movie, Slumdog Millionaire. The composer also received a Golden Globes Award for his work in this movie.
