Actor Prateik refuses to reveal whether rumours that he is dating his "Ek tha Deewana" co-star Amy Jackson are true or not.

"Whether it is true or false, I think it is for me and Amy to know and for the whole world to keep guessing," the 25-year-old told at a promotional shoot of the Gautham Menon-directed film, releasing Feb 17.

Prateik and British model Amy are being spotted together a lot thanks to the movie's promotion, adding fuel to the fire about their relationship status.

However, the only subject Prateik preferred to talk about was his character in the film.

"I am playing the character of a middle class Maharashtrian boy who is around 25 years of age and wants to become a film director. Then Amy's character enters his life and he falls in love at first sight and then he wants both the things. He wants to become a film director and get his love as well," told Prateik, who was last seen in "My Friend Pinto".

The son of actor Raj Babbar and late actress Smita Patil, Prateik made his Bollywood debut with "Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na" in 2008. Since then, he has starred in films like "Dhobi Ghat", "Dum Maaro Dum" and "Aarakshan". He is also filming for "Isaaq", an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet".

At an upcoming episode of UTV Stars’ “Superstar Santa”, where Soha plays a peacemaker between a couple, the actress told,

“I am very proud and find it extremely difficult to say the word ‘sorry’. I usually end up arguing a lot in the bargain.”
“In fact, in our relationship, I have said the least number of ‘sorries’ as compared to Kunal. But it’s something I’m working on…I’m learning to say ‘sorry’ more often to Kunal,” she included.

Kunal was present on the show, too. He told, “Aha…finally you admit! And this time on national television.”

According to Kunal, it is very important to be possessive about each other in a relationship, in order to sustain it.

“If you aren’t possessive at all about your lover, then there is reason to be worried. It just goes to show that you don’t really care.”

“Superstar Santa”, is all about, celebrities solving issues related to friends, families and romantic relationships.

I will continue acting after marriage with some constraints: Genelia D'Souza

After keeping tight-lipped on her love affair with Riteish Deshmukh, actress Genelia D'Souza is finally talking about it. With just 10 days left for their marriage, the 24-year-old tells she is impressed with her to-be-husband's spontaneity as an actor.

"I feel Riteish is a phenomenal actor. The best part about him is that he is so spontaneous that he can come up with things on the spot, which was great," Genelia, who is ready to tie the knot Feb 3, told.

The duo made their Bollywood debut together with "Tujhe Meri Kasam" in 2003. In the following year, they shared screen space in "Masti", and now, after eight years, they are featuring together in "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya". The romantic comedy, directed by Mandeep Kaur, will release Feb 24.

"I am hoping that we have both grown (as actors) and both of us are lot more responsible for sure....When I started off I had no clue what I was doing...but it's great to work with someone with whom you share such a close relationship," she told about working with Riteish, son of Mahrashtra's former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh.

But does their real life chemistry translate to sizzling reel life chemistry too?

"Chemistry is about two people looking good together. But I also think it's about how it's written. You are too smart an actor when you know how to pick up each other's pain and that's how chemistry comes....we (Riteish and I) discovered each other as actor after seven long years," told Genelia.

For now, the actress is super excited for her D-day, and tells she is busy wrapping up all her shopping for it.

"I have always been in a happy space and of course now it gets more special," she told, adding that the couple deliberately kept their private life away from paparazzi so far.

Now is the right time to talk about their relationship, she feels, but wasn't willing to give out details on the preparations of her special day.

"It's just a genuine thing that you keep some amount of dignity. Even now, I am ready to talk about it, but I will not make it a story and draw eyeballs. It's just 10 days left for my wedding and it will be stupid of me not to talk about it! But it's just that I am still a little guarded and like to keep my private space," she told.

Like many Bollywood actresses who continued to work in the industry post-marriage, Genelia plans to do the same.

"I will continue acting but haven't decided to how much extent. However, work for me has never been about south or north; it's always been all about films," he included.

I think its fine to get influenced by the western culture: Sonam Kapoor

While the Indian youth faces criticism for aping the west, young actress Sonam Kapoor tells she finds nothing wrong with it as good values are "universal".

"Values are usually universal...good values are universal. The west in not a devil coming to change our minds about certain things. Yes, we have amazing values in India which we should be very proud of. But I think its fine to get influenced by the world because the world is getting smaller in a lot of ways," the 26-year-old actress told here at a youth fest.

Sonam, considered to be a style icon for the youths, feels India has a great future because of the young population in the country.

"India is predominantly a youthful nation. When you are younger, you are more idealistic and you want to strive for a better future for ourselves. I think we have an amazing future because we are such a young nation," she told.

Sonam's last release was "Players". She is currently working on Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", in which she will be seen with Farhan Akhtar.
