Parineeti Chopra denies dating Uday Chopra!

Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra has slammed rumours linking her to actor Uday Chopra, saying that she will let the world know once she gets into a relationship. The Ishaqzaade star said she considers Uday a good friend and there is no more than that to their relationship. “I am that kind of a person who will reveal it to the world as soon as I get into a relationship,” said Parineeti at an event here to launch of HCL products.
“Such rumours spoil a relation and I prefer that one should ask and confirm whether something about me is true rather than making up stories,” she added.

The new Chopra couple!

Parineeti Chopra and her recently (self) appointed mentor Uday Chopra are taking their professional relationship a little too seriously.
 Apart from attending parties together (Karan Johar’s 40th birthday bash and Priyanka Chopra’s do to celebrate her cousin’s success, for instance), the Guru-Shishya duo has been spotted enjoying a hearty meal or two at various city nightspots.
 For starters, Parineeti and Uday were seen dining at a Michelin star restaurant in Bandra. According to an eyewitness, the two were enjoying each other’s company perhaps a tad bit more than the sumptuous meal. And that wasn’t just a one off.
 A few days later, the two were spotted sipping coffee at a Juhu five-star.Interestingly, the otherwise shy and reticent Uday was hardly spotted at public places during his much-publicised affair with Tanisha Mukerji. Evidently, the actor does not observe a similar discretion when it comes to his new disciple.
 While some may feel that this obvious affection between Parineeti and her mentor would develop into something deeper, insiders claim that the two are ‘special friends’. “They have a lot of common interests. They are the best of friends. They love hanging out with each other,” said a source.
Despite repeated attempts, Parineeti and Uday remained unavailable for comment.

Rating 3/5
This is dangerous Ishq! A violent love story set is a small town named Almore, somewhere in Uttarakhand, between the kids of two warring politicians belonging to different communities. While one is brash and in your face with his arrogance, the other, the only female in a joint family, is the feisty one with ambition to one day win the elections. He is a Hindu, and she a Muslim. He is a ruffian to the core; she has a tough exterior, is intelligent and is not afraid to bite the bullet.
Parma (Arjun Kapoor) will do anything to make his grandfather happy. He loves to flex his muscles and flaunt his family name. Zoya (Parineeti Chopra) comes from a political family. All out to campaign for her father, she runs into an arrogant Parma who she takes head-on. Not having seen someone flinch at the sight of a gun, Parma is impressed with Zoya. He begins to chase her; she in turn falls for his rustic charm and persistence. Before the break, Parma plays a deadly card that helps his grandfather win the elections -- by a whooping margin. A super hook that director Habib Faisal uses to keep you glued.
Given the age of the protagonists (twenty-something), the testosterone levels are understandably high and Faisal exploits the immaturity of the characters to good effect. He draws them out of their comfort zone to challenge their respective families who are now hell-bent on finishing them off. They both belong to different communities, to top it, there's political rivalry. But what turns the tale on its head is when caste and creed is forgotten and the families unite with one goal -- to wipe out the 'shame'!
Arjun Kapoor making his debut is stupendous. Playing a negative role in his first film, he takes the unconventional route to stardom. His body language for the character he essays is perfect. He can only get better from here. Parineeti Chopra is in a 'zone of her own'. A complete actor who slips into the character with the ease of a pro. After LADIES VS RICKY BAHL, she dishes out another fantastic performance. Don't be surprised if you soon see her occupying the top slot in Bollywood. She is a complete package. Dynamite. Arjun has the screen presence to carry off a film on his shoulders. With Parineeti for company, he rocks the house.When watching a youngster from the film fraternity make his debut, you cannot but draw comparisons with LOVE STORY and QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK. While both had a similar story line with family as the opposition, the storyline of ISHAQZAADE pushes the envelope further with a cunning twist in the lover's tale.
The title track with its laid-back beats is used with finesse to envelope the beginning and end. Pareshaan is another track that impresses. Mention must be made about the styling of clothes as well... spot on.
A surprise though has been the 'no mention' of any Yash Raj films within the dialogues, which is the norm with any YRF Production. A good move because it allows ISHAQZAADE the exclusivity it deserves.
Rating - 3/5
