After Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra showcased sizzling chemistry in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey, filmmaker Kunal Kohli cast them together in his 2012 film Teri Meri Kahaani. At that time, the on-screen couple was reportedly dating in real life. In a recent interaction, Kunal spoke about his experience of working with stars while they are in a relationship, terming it ‘not fun’.

When asked about the experience of directing actors who are in a relationship in real life, he told Faridoon Shahryar, “It’s actually not fun because there are days when they are not talking. Then, the director has to take care of the situation, but not if that person is Priyanka Chopra. She is the best person to work with, thorough professional, best for production and director, lovely person.”

Lauding Priyanka, he said, “When you feel anytime that something is going wrong on the set, you just look at her and she is okay. She will give you that confidence. She is just one of the best people to work with. I hope I work with her in life soon.”

When asked if actors dating in real life helps the chemistry of a film, Kunal Kohli said, “No, the real-life romance doesn’t help in bringing spark in film. The spark should be in the script and the actors should be good.” Teri Meri Kahaani received positive reviews from critics and was also a box office hit.

Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra themselves never confirmed or denied their relationship. However, in a recent interview during the promotions of his film Deva, Shahid was asked during a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, “If you were to have a dance-off with a co-actress, who would give you a tough competition?” He replied, “There are so many girls who are fantastic dancers. A lot of them I worked with already. Priyanka was a very good dancer, Deepika was a very good dancer. I enjoyed dancing with Pooja in this film (Deva). Kiara is a good dancer, but we have not danced together. Even Amrita was a good dancer when I worked with her. They are all good. I have never done a song with Katrina but she is a fantastic dancer.”
