Shriya lashes out Rana and Bipasha

Shriya Saran is furious. Her anger is directed towards her 'once upon a time good friend' and South star Rana Dagubatti.

Rana Dagubatti, who forays into Hindi cinema with 'Dum Maaro Dum', has been more in the news for his alleged affairs with Bipasha Basu and the constant speculation about the relationship he shares with actress Shreya Saran.

Of the many reports that linked Rana to Bipasha, one went to the length of attributing his break-up with actor Shriya Saran, to the on-screen couples' off-screen chemistry.

Reports of a budding romance between Rana and his 'Dum Maro Dum' co-star Bipasha are aggressively doing the rounds, particularly post Bipasha's break up with beau John Abraham.

However when media approached Shriya, she had a different story altogether. And this is what's pissing off the pretty actress. "That's horrible to be dragged into somebody else's matter especially when I am not romantically involved with anyone. I don't know why they are using my name to publicize their film," fumes Shriya.

It’s no secret that Rana and Shriya have known each other for a long time and often hang out together among common friends. But, continuous link-up with long-time friend Rana has upset Shriya very much. The actress thinks that it’s Rana and Bips who are using her name to attract publicity for their film.

Shriya's parents are equally upset at seeing their daughter's name for all the wrong reasons. "My parents are most upset. It's very embarrassing to face them for something as obnoxious like this," admitted Shriya.

Shriya also states that she and Rana have never been in a relationship. "We have known each other since we were in school. We have the same set of friends and we hang out together. That's about it. Rana was never my boyfriend. I have been single and I am single".

Shriya says she wants to focus on her work and rumours like these do irritate her. She’s presently shooting for Deepa Mehta’s film Midnight’s Children in Sri Lanka.
