Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor, who were last seen together in the 2012 film Ishaqzaade, are all set to share screen space once again in Namaste England. At a promotional event for the upcoming film, the actress spoke about how much Arjun had grown since his debut.

“I feel so proud that he has become a star and an established actor. Today, when people come to ask for his autograph and when people applaud his performances, I am so proud to be his friend,” Parineeti said.

She added, “I feel like I share a pure bond with him. Arjun the actor was literally born in front of me. I feel like I have contributed to his growth as a true friend. I also feel very protective of him. Since having a wonderful time together on our first film, our friendship has only become stronger. I am happy that nothing has changed over time.”

Meanwhile…

Though Parineeti is usually extremely professional, non-stop promotions for her upcoming film seem to have taken a toll on her. This Saturday, the actress cancelled all her interviews citing health issues.
A source close to the film reveals that Pari is down with a fever and body ache. She has been asked by doctors to undergo some tests. But she’s expected to be back on her feet soon.
