Shahid-Priyanka a couple?

Priyanka Chopra not only attended good friend Shahid Kapoor's birthday (February 25) at the lounge bar of a suburban five-star hotel but also played hostess to the hilt. That too in the presence of Shahid's close friends like Vidya Balan and Amrita Rao.

Says a guest present at the party, "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 attitude 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."

The guest further elaborates, "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."

However what was noticeable was that Priyanka appeared to be in some discomfort. She was seen wearing a short dress and sporting a bandage on her left leg. However that didn't keep her away from Shahid's party right till the end.

It is to be remembered that last year Priyanka's ex Hurman Baweja had thrown a birthday party for her at the same restaurant last year.
