Opening up about her alleged link-ups with 'Rock On 2' co-actor Shraddha Kapoor, actor-director Farhan Akhtar said a certain friendship has been forged between the two. In an interview with a leading daily, Akhtar said he doesn't get annoyed by the stories. "First, you can't let it get to you, as that's probably the intention of such things. They want to get a reaction out of you. And that way, it will keep the thing going on for a longer period. So, the best thing is to treat it with silence," he said.
Talking about Shraddha, he maintained that they are friends. "The fact of the matter is that over the last year-and-a-half, a certain kind of friendship has been forged, which is normal since we have been working together. There are times when you work with people and enjoy their company. For example, I worked with Abhay Deol for the first time in 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. And since then, we have hung out and also travelled together a lot. Now, just because he is a man, I am not having an affair with him." Farhan added, "The minute a woman is involved, one assumes it has to be more than friendship. It's weird, because you are saying that men and women, can't be friends after having worked together. But at the same time, it is okay for men to hang out together if they got to know one another while working on a film. It's dubious for a guy and a girl to hang out once they work on a film and that reeks of some kind of hypocrisy."
