Alleged link up with Anushka

I knew that such rumours are a part and parcel of every actors life. In fact whenever you see two young good looking people enjoying each others company and having fun together, the natural tendency in our society unfortunately is to think that they are going around. Anushka and I, as I mentioned earlier, got along really well and had a lot of fun during the shoot, so it was expected that there would be such stories of a link-up. There is nothing you can do about it. Kuch toh log kahengeâ€¦logon ka kaam hai kehna.

Rumours of dads connections helping him bag the film

This was a really absurd story. My dad is a businessman and mom is a homemaker. We have absolutely no filmy connections whatsoever. Its really unfortunate that some journalists dont check their facts before publishing a story. For me bagging a lead role in a Yash Raj film on my own merit is my biggest achievement in life till date and hence when such stories began doing the rounds, but naturally I was upset even though I knew that there is not an iota of truth in them. My father was also upset that people were taking credit away from me. Yash Raj Films is among the oldest, biggest and most reputed production houses in the country and to say that they took money to launch an actor is utter rubbish. If you take a look at their body of work or even visit their state-of-the art studio, you will realise that they are too big to need anyone elses funding. Ive heard of small producers resorting to such cheap stuff but to accuse someone like Yash Raj Films is absolutely ridiculous.

Future projects

I have a 3 film contract with Yash Raj Films but its a non-exclusive contract which means that after Band Baaja Baaraat releases, I am free to do films with other banners too. Right now I am just waiting for the film to release so that people can see my work and then decide what I am capable of doing.
