That's exactly what the actor apparently stated regarding his role in 'Teri Meri Kahaani'

During a promotional event for his film Shahid Kapoor stated, "I was cast in the movie to be Priyanka's escort."

PC who was otherwise looking lost throughout the event went all defensive and called Sasha a nice and chivalrous guy "But I don't want to call him an escort," she stated.

Hope they settle the escort issue before their next outing for their promotions.
