"I will suggest please go and watch the film. Then everybody will realise I didn't get the film because I am dating Rajkummar," Patralekha told IANS.
Talking about her relationship with the Shahid actor, she said: "I have known him for a couple of years. So, there is nothing to talk about it. I am 24 and he is 28. So, we are bound to be in a relationship and that's it."
When asked if she feels this is the perfect launch for her, Patralekha said: "First thing is that Bhatt sahib is launching me. What more can I ask for? Rajkummar is in the film so, I got confidence. Besides, I am not from this industry. So, for what do I wait? I am happy and excited for this."
Citylights is an adaptation of British film Metro Manila.
