However, when Priyanka Chopra was at an awards ceremony and was asked to pay tribute to actresses such as Saira Banu, Hema Malini and Madhuri Dixit, she wasn't too excited with the script given to her. So she hurried in a corner and penned down a couplet of her own for each of them.

It is heard that Priyanka is a good singer as well, and of late, has taken to shayaris - works of Rumi and Ghalib in particular. A friend of the actor says that Priyanka in her own time is often found penning poems and shayaris of her own. We wonder how many of these, she has dedicated to beau Shahid Kapoor. After all, love does make the world go round, among other things.

Priyanka, Shahid hide their relationship

Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor appeared on the talk show, ‘Koffee With Karan’ but they did not reveal their relationship. Karan popped the question to both Priyanka and Shahid but they did not give any convincing answer. They replied very diplomatically.

What sounds more interesting is that the couple arrived and departed separately. Priyanka left on her car and Shahid drove his bike but after going through some distance, Piggy Chops dropped down her car and got into Shahid's bike. The couple left the spot without delay.

An insider reveals, "They share a warm chemistry. They text-messaged each other and reached the venue on time. They indulged in humorous banter with one another and with Karan. At one point, the host asked them point-blank, if they were a real-life couple.

The answer was so non-committal and long-winded that even the seasoned host was left scratching his head."

Sonakshi Sinha will romance with Shahid Kapoor?

Sonakshi Sinha will romance with Shahid Kapoor?: Who will be cast opposite Shahid Kapoor in an upcoming romantic film? The question weighed heavy, but now the search is over; it’s Sonakshi Sinha.

Director Kunal Kohli was a worried man; he had the script ready and had also finalized the hero but couldn’t get a heroine. He was keen to have Priyanka Chopra for the film, par yeh ho na saka, and the hunt was on for an actress opposite Shahid.

Though it was rumoured that Shahid was apprehensive about working with Piggy Chops, Shahid has denied it. While talking to a daily about KK’s film, Shahid said, “I have enjoyed Kunal’s works in the past whether it’s Hum Tum or Fanaa and I’m looking forward to this love story. Whoever he decides to be cast opposite me, I’m okay with it.”

Now Sonakshi Sinha has been finalized for the role; the film’s title is Janam Janam Ka Saath Hai Tumhara Hamara. We hope it’s just the working title because it’s pretty long, and corny, too.

Talking about Sonakshi’s promising career graph, the girl is on a roll, and after the super success of Dabangg she has signed some big projects. She is also in for Shirsh Kunder’s Joker opposite none other than Akshay Kumar.
