Akshay Kumar Speaks on His Fall-Out with Priyanka Chopra...

In 2003, Akshay Kumar shared screen space with then newcomer, Priyanka Chopra in three movies and later on went to sign two more.

But as much as their on-screen chemistry was appreciated by fans, their off-screen 'closeness' found its way into tabloids. As a result, it sparked various rumours of an affair. Although, the two never publicly admitted to being in a relationship, there's finally an official statement to put all rumours at rest.

A decade after their last film together, Akshay opened up on his fallout with Priyanka on a TV show. On being asked if he ever swore to never work with Priyanka again, he replied,

"There is nothing like that. I have worked on five films with Priyanka. It's not like I don't want to work with her. Except for Rani Mukerji, I have worked with every heroine. If there is an opportunity, I will surely work with Priyanka Chopra."

Priyanka's disinterest in working with Akshay again

In 2014, when was told about Akshay's wish to work with her again, she was surprised, "First of all, I don't think he said that." She later added that she is more interested in good scripts than her co-actors. "I am just saying that I am not somebody who sits and wonders who my co-actors will be for a film. I always pick my films based on the script. If something interesting comes by, it does not EVER matter to be who my co-actors are," she added.
