"Imran is a dear friend, there is no misunderstanding between us and we are very good friends. Everything is absolutely fine these are just rumours," says Genelia who was in the capital recently for the launch of a new colddrink.

The actress who is in her early twenties began her career in Tollywood and has carved a name for herself in south India with films like 'Bommarillu' to her credit.

But for Genelia both Bollywood and Tollywood are close to her heart.

"I love both as both are close to my heart. I started my career with Telegu films and I got recognition in Bollywood," she says, referring to her last blockbuster ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane’ where she played the character 'Aditi'. Genelia says Bollywood is a "bad" place for people who want to be treated likewise.

"It all depends on how you want to be treated and how you carry yourself. People can be very bad to you or very good with you in the industry," she says.

The actress says she is "excited" that her last film did so well and that she likes working with new talents.

"I am working with John Abraham in 'Hook Ya Crook' it's a David Dhawan film, I have 'Its my Life' with Harman Baweja and 'Partner' with Abbas Mustan," she says about her upcoming films in 2009.

Genelia's ‘It's my Life’ which stars Nana Patekar is the remake of her superhit Telugu film ‘Bommarillu.’

‘Partner’ directed by Rumi Jaffrey and produced by director duo Abbas Mustan is a multistarrer with actors like Govinda, Fardeen Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna and Prachi Desai.

The actress says she is quite happy that she made a name for herself in Bollywood even though she did not have a godfather in the industry.
