The whole fiasco started when Akshay and Priyanka worked together in Andaaz. Their on-screen chemistry was so intense that it came to everyone's notice. Not just that, reports suggested that their romance bloomed off-screen as well.

During an Aap Ki Adalat session with Rajat Sharma, he was asked about his alleged extramarital affair with Priyanka. He said, "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."
