It was a double blow for him. First his debut vehicle Love Story 2050 turned turtle at the box office, then his girlfriend walked out on him. But, says Harman Baweja, neither has the break-up spoilt his friendship with Priyanka Chopra nor has the flop dampened his spirit. He has teamed up with ex-girlfriend Priyanka in Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your Rashee and says personal relationships don't affect his work. "It was fabulous working with her earlier. It's fabulous now. I don't think personal relationships should affect the quality of my work. "Whether we were together or now, I don't think our work can ever get affected. We're thorough professionals about this. We've been great friends and we still are," Harman said. Rejecting rumours that Priyanka has got a better role in the film, Harman said: "Don't jump to conclusions. I don't want to give away the story. I'm shooting more than Priyanka is, whatever the perceptions of her role. Beyond that I'll say nothing. If I do, I'll be screwed by Gowariker." Harman is not too happy with the way he was panned by the industry for delivering a dud. "What I was put through after the release of 'Love Story 2050' was totally uncalled for. It was almost as though I had committed a crime. I don't understand why I had to face so much flak. I'm not the first debutant to deliver a dud. Even Neil Nitin Mukesh's debut film didn't live up to expectations, but he was treated far more kindly. I think the idea was to demoralise me."
