No romance was brewing on the sets of ‘I Hate Luv Storys’, says Punit Malhotra, who has been linked with Sonam Kapoor, the female lead of his ready-to-release directorial debut.

‘We are just friends and nothing more. There is nothing between us,’ Malhotra, 28, told IANS over the phone from Mumbai.

‘Both Sonam and I didn’t even concentrate on the stories because we knew and everyone else also knew that these are just rumours. So there was no awkwardness between us while shooting the film.’
