Priyanka Chopra's startling revelation: I've never datedPriyanka Chopra
The 33-year-old "Quantico" actress opened up about her love life in an interview with InStyle magazine.
"I've never dated. I've always been in relationship," Priyanka said.
The actress, who will next be seen playing main antagonist Victoria Leeds in "Baywatch," said the concept of going on casual dates doesn't exist in India.
"It's very different. You like someone, you court each other, you get into a relationship. You're answerable to each other. Whereas the non-answerability of dating, my god, I don't know if I would ever be able to," she added.
In the past Priyanka has been linked to actors Shahid Kapoor and Harman Baweja.

The 'Queen' star features in a small role in the film which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
"I don't know how much I am allowed to say, but that was the most fun I've ever had with a character. We have ten more days left at the end of July to finish up shooting. It was a really fantastic experience," Lisa told PTI.
'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' is a romantic-drama which also stars Fawad Khan. The film is scheduled to release this Diwali.
When asked if she will be sharing screen space with Ranbir, the 30-year-old actress said, "We have scenes together... I have got a small but a very interesting role. I got a great kick playing that character. I hope people will enjoy it too."
Lisa will soon be seen as a judge on the second season of MTV's 'India's Next Top Model'.

Shah Rukh Khan on Salman Khan's rape remarks: Can't judge comments of others

Amid the controversy over Salman Khan's "rape comments", his friend superstar Shah Rukh Khan says he cannot judge statements made by others as he himself has made some inappropriate remarks in the past.

When asked if Salman should apologies for his comments, the 50-year-old 'Fan' actor said, "In the last few years, I have come to realize that I have made so many inappropriate comments myself. I don't think I am someone to sit in judgment for somebody else's comment.
Bollywood celebrities including Kangana Ranaut, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Sona Mohapatra have condemned the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" star's remarks, while his brother Arbaaz, Sonu Sood and Subhash Ghai among others have come out in his defense. However, Shah Rukh doesn't believe in taking sides.
"It is not about taking a side or not taking a side. I myself talk a lot so who will sit, judge and decide who should do what," he said.
"Those who want to do something they should decide it for themselves. Personally speaking, I don't think I am anyone to be making a comment. I am so inappropriate myself," Shah Rukh said.
Salman's rape analogy to describe the grueling shoot for his upcoming film 'Sultan' has led to a controversy. Not satisfied with the written reply from the actor, the National Commission for Women yesterday summoned him to appear before it on July 8.
The Commission also warned the actor that if he fails to appear before the panel, it may proceed to take action as it deems fit.

"Commission finds that you are not willing to apologies for the remarks made by you. The explanation offered by you, after making such an irresponsible and callous statement doesn't amount to an apology. Your reply is therefore not satisfactory," the NCW said in its notice issued yesterday.

The bombing attacks in Istanbul's Ataturk Airport have left over 40 dead and over 230 injured. The attack took place on Tuesday night when three attackers arrived in a taxi and began firing at the terminal entrance.
Several Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to condemn the attack and express angst.
Hrithik Roshan, who was with his kids Hrehaan and Hridhaan, had a narrow escape from the terror attack. He took to Twitter to share the news:
missed connecting flight at Istanbul n wer stuck at airport next flight ws next day,but took economy n flew out earlier.
Ws helped by d kindest staff at Istanbul arport hours ago. Shocking news. Innocents killed 4 religion.V must stand united against terrorism.
Celina Jaitly, too, tweeted about the fact that she was at the Istanbul airport a month ago and shared a photo of the sunset from the airport.
Twitter, however, did not take their tweets kindly and expressed displeasure over their 'insensitive' comments.
Here are some reactions:

@iHrithik whoa! you flew economy and lived to tell about it.
You brave man!
@iHrithik
Oh boy!
Economy seats!
Must have been terrible.
Poor you.
@CelinaJaitly what's wrong with u? this is a moment of tragedy not an incident to milk ur share of attention.
@kunfaaya 👉🏻 @CelinaJaitly wants to hog some limelight ..the attempt is pathetic @HMilkFoundation
@CelinaJaitly @HMilkFoundation
Had u been there at the airport, you could share some selfies with victims, shame on u @CelinaJaitly
@CelinaJaitly @HMilkFoundation oh wow you were being honored? But this is to express your shock at the terrorist act, right?

What's your take on the issue? Do you think their comments were taken out of context? Or do you think they were 'insensitive'?
