In an age where 'Gang' wars, 'Dirty' deeds and 'Rowdy' romeos are striking gold at the box office, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have arrived with a cutesy love story that spans eras.
Madhureeta Mukherjee chats with the twosome...
Timeless love...
Priyanka: "I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. I'm very old-school, and believe in timeless romance and love that lasts forever."
Shahid: "I don't know whether I believe in timeless love, frankly, 'saat janmon ka saath' is a very scary thought. But it's important to be open to all kinds of love. It just... happens! I can't be closed to anything. I like to be experimental."
Rumours and roadblocks...
Priyanka: "Link-ups are a professional hazard and they won't go away. But what's great is that Shahid and I share such a great camaraderie, and we're so comfy with each other that it doesn't matter."
Shahid: "Why just link-up rumours? Any rumour is disturbing. Even the one where I was supposedly rejecting films with Sonakshi was absolutely ridiculous."
Muscled men and action...
Priyanka: "Oh! I love action. I can't get enough of it... I even have a soft spot for tough men."
Shahid: "An 80s-styled-action film is definitely on my agenda. And when I sign something like that, I'm calling PC for help. The amount of harness-entries she's done in shows, I don't think an action hero must have done in a lifetime!"
Failures and flops...
Priyanka: "I get sulky, grumpy and upset when my films don't work. I even lock myself in a room and bawl."
Shahid: "I find things to hit and throw around when my films don't work."

Woman-power in Bollywood...
Priyanka: "I'm a Vidya Balan fan; I think she's got the courage to push herself and do the roles she's doing. Actresses have started getting their due creatively; it's a great time to be a Hindi film heroine. When I did Aitraaz, people told me I'd become a vamp, and that I shouldn't do it ....."
First crush...
Priyanka: "Well, you know, girls keep having crushes. It wasn't a particular person, but my crushes sort of kept changing."
Shahid: "I think every boy of my generation had a huge crush on Madhuri Dixit. And so did I."
