Bollywood actress Dia Mirza is upset about rumours of her wedding plans with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, saying this was "untrue".

"I would like to place on record that the story that I'm marrying Shoaib Akhtar is patently untrue, unfounded and wildly speculative, " Dia posted on her Twitter page Saturday.

"I don't like this fictitious story gaining any more momentum and I do not desire such attention, " she added.

Dia is, however, trying to deal with the matter as lightly as possible. She mentioned on Twitter that her fashion designer friend Rocky S. had sent her some clothes, and wished he hadn't sent them after believing the marriage rumours.

"I just walked into my home and was greeted by the most amazing surprise. My friend Rocky S. has sent me the most gorgeous clothes! Amazing amazing clothes! Wait...I hope he doesn't actually think I'm getting married..., " she added.
