With Priyanka and Shahid being neighbours, both are frequently spotted together and their growing propinquity has become a great concern for Vidya Balan.

News has it that actress Vidya Balan has recently purchased a new home in Shahid Kapur’s building and will be moving in soon. With Vidya’s control-freak act, Shahid’s neighborhood is rife with speculations over Shahid and Vidya’s relationship, who have been maintaining their relation as purely professional friendship.
