Nargis doesn’t like being linked to me: Ranbir

Ranbir Kapoor insists that his Rockstar co-star and he are not in a relationship, says such reports are not going to make him change his friendly ways. The actor has been raving about Nargis Fakhri’s “talent” ever since the two started working together on Rockstar.

Ranbir Kapoor has been raving about Nargis Fakhri’s “talent” ever since the two started working together on Rockstar and is delighted by the amazing response she’s got since the promos and the songs were unveiled. “Even though the film traces Janardan Jakar’s 10-year musical journey on the way to becoming the iconic rockstar Jordan, the film is primarily a love story in which the girl plays an important part,” he asserts.

And what about their real-life romance? “I care for Nargis and I’m sure she does too. We share a deep friendship but we are not in a relationship,” retorts Ranbir, pointing out that he’s always been open about his relationships. “Why would I hide it now? But the fact is that I’ve been single for a while. Nargis doesn’t like being linked to me… She is embarrassed by it. She’s not from our country and has worked really hard to make her mark in our film industry. I hope the media will be kind to her.”

The actor admits that he’s now used to being romantically paired with a co-star even when he’s not dating her. “The next newcomer I start a film with will be my new girlfriend,” he sighs but asserts that what people think and say is not going to make him change his friendly ways. “I’m 29, single and fairly successful. I’m certainly not going to stop going out for a movie or dinner with a co-star after a hard day’s work.”
