"If I am into a relationship I will not hide it. If I have a girlfriend I will call you and tell you that I am in love and that I am marrying her. Everyday I read stories on my link-up with some or the other star. I feel bad," Ranbir told reporters here.

"I am sure my parents also get embarrassed by it. Also, I don't find the need to come out and contradict every wrong story about me. One has to understand that a person or a life is getting affected.

"I don't go out with friends to have dinner with the fear of getting linked up with someone. My life has become difficult. I request all of you to not link-me with anyone. I hope it stops now," he added. Ranbir, who was appointed as the brand ambassador for Panasonic, has been in news for his link-ups with several actresses including Katrina Kaif, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Anushka Sharma.

In the past, the actor dated Deepika Padukone but they broke up in 2009.
