It was more than evident when Shahid and Priyanka left from a party together in PC’s Mercedes, while Shahid’s car followed faithfully. However, it must be admitted that it was gorgeous Priyanka Chopra who seemed more willing to go public than Shahid, who was still trying to hide his face from paparazzi, present on the occasion.

Says a guest at the party, "Priyanka walked in with a friend a bit after midnight while Shahid came in after 1 am. But during the entire time Priyanka was there, Shahid kept calling and talking to her throughout till he reached. After which, they both circulated a bit and quickly withdrew to a secluded corner where they remained, talking in hushed tones, almost till the time they had to leave — around 5 am. When it was time for them to leave, Priyanka, Shahid and Priyanka's friend left together in Priyanka's white Mercedes while Shahid's driver followed. While Priyanka is quite happy to show the world that she's in love with Shahid, apparently, he's not in a hurry to do it. He was hiding his face when the photographers were trying to take pictures."

The source adds that the Priyanka-Shahid love story appears to be blossoming. "Apart from their quiet get away together at Karim's party, neighbours at Shahid and Priyanka's apartment complex, talk about their both taking walks together holding hands, mostly after midnight because that's the time when the grounds get empty and they have some privacy."

The source says, "While Priyanka appears to be smitten by Shahid, one wonders if there were hot sparks between the couple when they were dating other people. In fact, when Shahid and Kareena were going around once Priyanka and Harman had joined them for a holiday in Bali. Shahid would often tell mutual friends of theirs that he found Priyanka hot. But as both were dating others nothing came out of it."

Even Shahid Kapur’s neighbours say that love with Priyanka has taken a serious turn and they could be often seen holding hands. We tried to confirm the affair with Shahid but he was not reachable and during a recent interview when the question of link up with Shahid was popped up to Priyanka this is what she had to say read on ..

Would you rather be part of a commercially successful film or one that earns you critical acclaim?
It has to be both. We make films for the people and not just for drawing room viewing.

Madhur Bhandarkar had said that you were apprehensive about your role in Fashion and needed quite a bit of convincing.
It took him six months to convince me. I wasn’t saying no to the venture. I didn’t think I was capable of pulling off the part.

In What’s Your Rashee? You are apparently essaying 12 roles...
All I can now say is that it’s a very difficult part for me, one that hasn’t yet been tried by any other actor.
