Reports started saying that Gauri has instructed Shahrukh to stay away from Priyanka and asked him not to work with her ever. But when Shahrukh was asked about these affair reports, he replied with something exciting.

Gradually, this onscreen chemistry started appearing off-screen as well. But Shahrukh had answered when asked about the affair with Priyanka in the year 2012, in which he said, ‘The most disturbing thing for me is that a woman working with me was asked questions and somewhere, she was not given the respect that I give her or all women associated with me. I think it is a bit disrespectful. I am very sorry for this. Not directly for what I have done, but because she is my friend.’

Shahrukh had further said, ‘She is one of my closest friends and is very close to my heart, and will always be. I sometimes feel that when something is said, I should stay away from it because I find it very trivial. It spoils the relationship that people share while working together.’ Shahrukh had told that he knew Priyanka from her modeling days and said, ‘It is very unfortunate that friendship gets spoiled a bit.’
