Priyanka Chopra disturbed by Punjabi man

Actress Priyanka Chopra got into a heated verbal argument with a Punjabi stranger in Delhi during promoting her film ‘7 Khoon Maaf’ in Tuesday evening. Priyanka spent her growing years in Rai Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh. This is the first time her Punjabi antecedents were questioned, and that too in full public view.

Said a member of Priyanka's entourage, "Priyanka was taken aback by the accusation. At first she laughed it off saying she is very much Punjabi. But the man kept piping in loudly with his allegation. Priyanka finally told him to shut up and quit before he faces the consequence of her wrath."

The man soon after disappeared from the venue, but Priyanka, known to be extremely warm to fans, was hurt by the vehemence of the accusation. Apparently the man kept insinuating she had done nothing for Punjab and Punjabis.

The spokesperson for ‘7 Khoon Maaf’ confirmed the incident adding: "It was weird and inopportune. Priyanka's Punjabiyat had nothing to do with the occasion. We don't know where the man came from and where he disappeared to. But the whole incident was suspicious."
Priyanka's father is Punjabi while her mother is from Jharkhand.

Priyanka`s tips for losing your Valentine

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra enumerated seven ways to lose one`s Valentine. " Priyanka said”, after unveiling the press kit, which contained a rope, a syringe, a knife, a bottle of `poison`, a sachet of `potassium cyanide`, an ice pick and a strip of Viagra tablets, used for treating male erectile dysfunction.

"This is a gift, which you, as a boyfriend, can give your girlfriend, if you want to," the sultry actress, who had donned 12 different looks in `Whats Your Rashee`, said, at a promotional event for Vishal Bhardwaj`s `7 Khoon Maaf`, at a suburban luxury hotel last night.

"This is such a romantic gift we have given you. Now, who does that," Priyanka cooed, asking media persons not to open the box immediately.

It was but natural that when the occasion was Valentines Day and it was Priyanka taking the queries, media was eager to know about her `friendship` with co-actor Shahid Kapoor. Asked
about Shahid, Priyanka, sporting a mischievous grin, quipped:
"What about him?....my date is with you."

It was then left to Bhardwaj to `certify` the relationship when he said Bollywood has seen many hit pairs like Raj Kapoor-Nargis, Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha and Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra. This sent Priyanka into peals of laughter.

Ranbir have potential to follow "Big B"

Director Siddharth Anand feels the young actor has the potential to follow in the footsteps of megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the "complete Hindi film hero".

"The day Ranbir does an action film and does it well, he has the potential to fill the void that Bachchan created," said Anand who teamed up with Ranbir for the second time for his new romantic comedy ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ releasing Sep 24.

"Ranbir is the perfect guy to play Anthony (a character played by Big B in `Amar Akbar Anthony`), he can play coolie, he can play the characters Bachchan played in his prime. There is no one else but him," Anand told reporters.

"In `Anjaana Anjaani` there is a sequence where they are stranded in the middle of an ocean. It was the Pacific Ocean and he had to dive into the freezing waters. He did it even though he has aquaphobia," said the director.

Talking about the film that co-stars Priyanka Chopra, he said: " `Anjaana Anjaani` is the story of two strangers who meet in strange circumstances and then part as strangers. So it`s a very unique concept for a Hindi film, but it`s deep-rooted as a Hindi commercial film. It has songs, stories, beautiful locations and fabulous performances."

Siddharth says more than the actresses, he bonds well with actors.

"I am a hero`s director. I bond with my heroes more than I bond with my heroines. Once we become friends, I like to work with them repeatedly if they are okay with it. I have been fortunate enough to work with two superstars," said Anand.

Priyanka Chopra next in Vishal Bhardwaj

After successfully playing 12 roles of bride-to-be in What's Your Raashee?, Priyanka Chopra is finally playing the role of a bride, not to one man but seven different men. The actress is gearing up for yet another multiple role in Vishal Bhardwaj's next titled 7 Husbands.

"Vishal was very impressed with Priyanka while working with her in Kaminey. He always referred to her as a dedicated and devoted actress. While scripting for 7 Husbands, without any second thought, he made up his mind to cast the actress in the movie. Vishal also had seen the rushes and promos of What's Your Raashee? with her 12 different avatars and thought she carried it off really well and could do justice to her film."

Priyanka Chopra, has decided to take a much-needed break from the filmdom rat race in a bid to calm her nerves. With several superhits in her kitty toped by the current blockbuster ‘Kaminey’, Priyanka is all geared up to jet set for a rejuvenating vacation after 6 yrs of toiling in B-town.

The sizzler, who is now secure of her strong standing in the industry, had been suffering form severe exhaustion and had even fuelled rumours of fainting on the sets. So much so was the actress under stress that she was even seen going in and out of hospital.

But now the actress has decided to refuel her energy tank as she told reporters, “I needed this holiday for a while. I am listening to my doctors, that is, my parents. I am very excited about the holiday.”

And her father, Dr Ashok Chopra is much too relieved for her daughter. Speaking to reporters he said, “My daughter has gone on a well-deserved break. I cannot disclose the location, but she has gone eastwards. My wife and I will join her after five or six days.”

As for her health her close pals state that the actress is doing much better now. “Priyanka’s health is better now and she is happy with the way ‘Kaminey’ has fared. She needed to be away from Mumbai. She had earlier been on a couple of short breaks, but for the first time in her six years in Bollywood, she will be gone for more than two weeks”, said the pal.

Priyanka getting too big for her shoes

Priyanka Chopra is the talk-of-the-town these days after bagging top awards for her role in ‘Fashion’ but she is not in a position to quote exorbitant fee. Recently, the actress’ high-flying attitude backfired and her loss ended up into the gain of rival actresses. When Sanjay Gadhvi approached Priyanka for ‘7 Days In Paris’, she demanded Rs 5 crore.

The producers were shocked when Priyanka asked for such a huge fee. They tried to reason with her but she refused to relent.

Earlier, Priyanka had been signed for Rs 3 crore by Yash Raj Films to star opposite Uday Chopra in ‘Pyaar Impossible’ – maybe this got into her mind. This time, she was not so lucky. The producers would rather wait and sign someone else rather than pay such a huge sum.

The director and producer were in talks with Katrina, who had rejected the film due to flaws in the script. After Priyanka’s weird behaviour, the director has once again approached Katrina. And if things did not work out with Katrina, there are Genelia and Asin.

Priyanka take challange for Marathi girl in Kaminey

Priyanka has played some extremely challenging roles in her filmy career and got sucess for her performances but now Priyanka found difficult to portray is that of a Marathi girl in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey.

Interestingly, Priyanka who plays Sweety, a blunt Maharashtrian girl in Kaminey had to adopt similar body language and Maharashtrian accent to suit the character. “I play the role of Sweety. She is a young college going girl. She is a different Maharashtrian girl.”

It is believed that Priyanka’s character has a naughty shade which she managed beautifully but she had to take a lot of efforts to learn Marathi language. It is believed that Priyanka took help of her Fashion co-actress Mugdha Godse to learn Marathi on the sets of Fashion.

This Punjabi girl admits that to speak Marathi wasn’t easy for her. “I am speaking a lot of Marathi in the film. It was difficult for me because it’s a difficult language and I am not good at Marathi. But I think it’s my luck that through Kaminey I got to learn one more language.”

Priyanka Chopra is comfortable being a Lesbian


Priyanka Chopra seems to be getting bolder by the day. Whether it be her look in her last films, or the characters and the kind of films she is opting for, she seems to be eyeing the numero uno crown. She made a point on gay rights too when she told us in a recent chat that they have equal rights to live a dignified life.

And now, the actress gives out yet another statement - that she has no qualms playing a lesbian character if offered. "Why not, I would definitely play a lesbian role, provided the film has a good script and the role demands so," says Chopra.

But the million dollar question is, who among the top actresses will play a lesbian partner to her? Certainly not Kareena Kapoor, given their not-so-great rapport and Priyanka may not want to pair up with Katrina Kaif for her non-existing acting skills! That leaves us with Kangana Ranaut, but rumours have it that the two did not get along so well on the sets of 'Fashion'. So we asked Priyanka herself who would be her preferred choice, and she shot back, "How can I decide, that's up to the filmmakers." Well, we leave it up to the filmmakers too.
