Although Shahid and Priyanka are denying any romantic linkups, friends present at Shahid’s birthday swear that love is certainly brewing between the actors.

A party popper at Shahid’s birthday says, “Priyanka and Shahid were behaving as a much-in-love couple. In fact, it was as if they were ready to be open about their feelings for each other in front of friends. This from the reserved Shahid and cautious Priyanka surprised the starry guests. The bigger surprise was Priyanka’s hamari-bahu-Alka act at the party. She was the official hostess.”

“Priyanka had helped Shahid organise the party (including the guest list) and had even turned up early to help him out. She was looking after the guests, and making sure that food and the drinks were circulated properly. In fact, when Shahid went down to see a guest out downstairs and was away for five minutes, Priyanka went down to look for him. They behaved like besotted lovebirds. Priyanka even asked people who wanted to leave, to stay back and party till morning.”

Shahid’s birthday party was at a lounge bar of a five-star hotel, ironically Priyanka also celebrated her birthday at the same place last year which was a surprise from ex-boyfriend Hurman Baweja.

Strange!!
