'I'm not dating Hardik Pandya': Parineeti sets record straight after recent rumours

Mumbai: There has always be a connection between Indian cricketers and Bollywood actresses, right from Tiger Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, Mohammed Azharuddin and Sangeeta Bijlani, to the most recent Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.

While the world knows that cricketer Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma are a couple, Twiteratti thought Parineeti Chopra and Hardik Pandya could be the next 'Bollywood-cricket' link after their recent Twitter chat.

It all started with Parineeti posting a picture of a bicycle few days back, but the captions spoke about the 'most amazing partner' and 'love is in the air.'

Cricketer Hardik Pandya's response to the picture set tongues wagging, talking about a 'second Bollywood-cricket link', first perhaps being Virat and Anushka.

Parineeti's 'maybe-maybe not' response further added to the mystery.

The actress, however, later had to post a video, following the link-up rumours, that the 'partner' in question was instead her new smartphone.

At an event on Monday, the actress was asked about the link-up rumours again and this time, she set the record straight.

She said, "Whether I am single or not that is not the discussion, but I am not dating Hardik Pandya. Even I heard about it."

Fans expecting a 'second Bollywood-cricket' link after Virat and Anushka would surely be a disappointed lot.
