You were spotted dining out just a couple of day ago.
Yes, I’m not denying that at all. She and I were at a restaurant but I wasn’t feeding her with my hands as reported.

What are these dinners all about?
Food. Like every Kapoor, I’m a foodie. When she and I go out, we try out everything from lobsters and snails to vada paavs.

What’s the status of Deepika’s relationship with Yuvraj Singh, then?
(Pause) It wouldn’t be fair of me to ask her that. My relationship with her is platonic.

Yes, yes.. sure.. define that.
It means a platonic relationship. We like the same kind of movies, that sort of thing.

So whose girlfriend is she?
Not my girlfriend, in the way you mean at all.

Yes, Yes... Do you know Nihar Pandya?
Yes, he’s a sweet guy. But I haven’t met them together.

Would you let Deepika tie a raakhi around your wrist?
( Nearly leaps up ) No, no, no, no, I never allow beautiful women to tie raakhis on me.. that’s why I wouldn’t go to school on Raakhi day.

Okay, what’s with the buzz about Sonam Kapoor and you?
We haven’t been in touch. Since we were making our debuts together, the buzz was mandatory. There’s no story there. There was no exchange of flowers and chocolates. Sure we’re comfortable with each other, we’d go out for dinners.

So, who’s in your life right now?
Let’s say I’m not looking for love right now. Love is beautiful when it’s reciprocated. I have been infatuated with women ever since I was in school.

You have been seen dining with Nandita Mahtani on and off.
She’s a family friend; I’ve grown up with a crush on her. I’ve seen her go through various stages of life. She has always handled the situation. She can calm you down, no matter what.

How?
That happens plenty of times. The smallest of thing, a gesture matters. Nothing has to be said really.

On Valentine’s Day, which of your teen deviyans were you in touch with?
None of them. It’s a day for lovers... not for friends.
