Mahira Khan-Ranbir Kapoor VIRAL PICS: Ali Zafar & Parineeti support; Rishi Kapoor REACTS!

Parineeti Chopra on the other hand did not speak much when asked about this matter during 'Golmaal Again' press conference but did choose to voice her opinion on the 'slut shaming' of Mahira by the haters.

Rumours of Ranbir and Mahira dating each other started in March this year when the two attended the Global Teacher Prize Ceremony in Dubai, walked the red carpet together and their chemistry became the talk of the town. A video of their video while having a conversation in a corner at the same event went viral too.

Ali Zafar, last seen in SRK-Alia Bhatt starrer 'Dear Zindagi' tweeted a long note in support of Mahira. He tagged Mahira's official Twitter and Instagram handles "@MahiraKhan" as the caption of this picture note.

Also the Pakistan based actor who's done multiple Bollywood films, Ali Zafar comes out in support of Mahira while Parineeti Chopra takes her side during 'Golmaal Again' trailer launch event. 

The rumored couple hit the headlines soon after and now the veteran actor and father of Ranbir, Rishi Kapoor has reacted to the whole controversy.

The note read- "What has happened to us? Have we lost all sense of sensibility? Must we choose gossip, intrigue and the self-appointed right of judgement over restrain, grace, tolerance and compassion? Every woman has the right to make her own choices in life (as long as she's not hurting anyone else) just like we men do. How we react defines our own character. Choose wisely, for we SHALL be judged! -Ali Zafar".

Also reacting on the 'dating rumors' he said - "How do we know that here’s something more to this picture? He could have met her just outside there. They must have been in a restaurant or a place where they cannot smoke, that’s why they are smoking outside. In US, they have really strict rules that don’t allow smoking in public places. I can’t say anything more because I don’t know anything more than that.".

Rishi Kapoor opened up on the matter to a popular daily, expressing his anger at first. He texted HT - "I have also seen the picture this morning itself. It doesn’t concern me, so please keep me out. Ask the one who is there in the picture - ".

Later in an I/v Rishi told HT - "I only saw them on Twitter, not on Instagram or Facebook, because I am only on Twitter. It’s not that I saw these pictures before or I know anything about this already. You see, Ranbir is a young star, he is unmarried, he’s a bachelor. He can meet anybody whoever he wants to, and if people are going to invade in his privacy, it’s not done. And I can’t say anything about all this because he’s a young man and he has the choice of meeting any girl."

Mahira wearing a backless white dress and with a love hickey spotted on her bareback, was slut shamed too by the trolls on the social media.

The pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan hanging out while smoking in the New York City took Internet by storm after they were leaked on Thursday.

She said - “I mean, it’s not to do with our film, but I think ya. I would just like to say one line. I don’t want to answer your question. But ya, it is quite unfair, everybody knows it is unfair, and it will stop. Today because of social media, everything becomes too big a deal.”
