'I'm single, ready to mingle'

He says he is very much single. “I am very much single, available and definitely ready to mingle,” Shahid said on Sony TV’s new reality show Lift Kara De. Shahid came as a celebrity guest on the show, which is hosted by film-maker Karan Johar, and produced by Yash Raj Films. The 28-year-old found himself on sticky ground when Johar asked him about his link-up with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actress Anushka Sharma, with whom Shahid is featuring in Parmeet Sethi's untitled directorial debut. “You had better ask Parmeet that question. After all, directors have all the fun these days!” he quipped. “I want to clarify that I am not dating Priyanka Chopra or anybody else,” added Shahid.

Lift Kara De features 20 celebrities, who feature one by one each week, and get to meet their biggest fan.
