The 'new' friendship between B-Town stars Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone seems to have taken people by surprise. The two have been seen enjoying each other's company at various award functions. However, Priyanka and Deepika have a different story to tell according to HT :
“I bond with all my co-actors, especially the girls. I don’t have any issues with any of them. Deepika is a lovely person and we have known each other for years now, way before she became an actor. The reason is that we have a common circle of friends. So it’s (the news about their bonding) nothing new for us at all,” says Priyanka.
Incidentally, a few days earlier, Deepika said “Priyanka and I have always been very cordial and friendly with each other. Since not many have seen us bonding, they generally get surprised about it."
