Is Parineeti Chopra dating Uday Chopra?

There seems to be a new couple in T’town: Yash Raj scion Uday Chopra and the leading production house’s latest blue-eyed girl, Parineeti Chopra.

Though Parineeti calls him her ‘mentor’ Uday, say sources, is taking his duties of introducing the ‘Ishaqzaade’ actress to Bollywood, a little too seriously.

Apart from attending parties together (Karan Johar's 40th birthday bash and Priyanka Chopra's do to celebrate her cousin's success), the duo has been spotted enjoying a hearty meal or two at various city nightspots.

Parineeti and Uday were seen dining at a Michelin star restaurant in Bandra and according to eye-witnesses, the two were thoroughly enjoying each other's company.

A few days later, the two were spotted sipping coffee at another five-star hotel in Juhu. Interestingly, the otherwise shy and reticent Uday was hardly spotted at public places during his much-publicised affair with Tanisha Mukerji, Kajol’s sister and his ‘Neal n Nikki’ co-star.

While some believe this mutual admiration may develop into something deeper, insiders claim that the two are 'special friends'. "They have a lot of common interests. They are the best of friends. They love hanging out with each other," said a source.

Well, it doesn’t take long for ‘good friends’ to turn into lover, does it?
