Priyanka Chopra: “i’m a very confused person!”
is it true that you have been offered the role of Wondergirl in a Hollywood film?
“Till something happens, i don’t like to talk about it. i am not confirming the news or denying it right now.”
People think you are quite worldly wise since you’ve done so well career wise?
“Rubbish. i am hardly worldly wise. As for the career graph, it’s just that destiny is on my side so far.”
Do you think every woman needs a man to protect her?
“It’s not about a man. It could be the mother too. She just needs someone. I’m a very confused person. I think most women are like that. But the hole world thinks I am worldly wise, so I have kept the facde going.”
Would you consider yourself an intense performer?
“I just consider myself a performer. I would love to consider myself an intense performer, but I think that is for the audience and critics to say.”
Would you consider yourself an intense performer?
“I just consider myself a performer. I would love to consider myself an intense performer, but I think that is for the audience and critics to say.” 
What about all those hits you’ve already delivered?
“I think I will never be sure about acting. The day I am sure, I will retire. I have a long way to go now. I haven’t even completed three years since I came year.”
Do you think an actor needs to go through pain to enact it on screen?
“No, I don’t think you have to go through pain to enact it out on screen. You can observe other people and try and act it out. That’s why it is called acting.”
 

Priyanka - Govinda film retitled
Saturday, September 02, 2006 
Once upon a time Govinda was a reigning star and Priyanka Chopra was a Miss World looking for a step in the right direction to movies.

This was when 'Ek Hasina Ek Deewana' happened. To be directed by K C Bokadia, it wasn't the grandest of setups for Priyanka but guess she may have found the unusual pairing to be exciting enough. With a supporting cast comprising of Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Kader Khan, Johny Lever and Sharat Saxena, she knew that she was headed for a pucca masala fare and hence would have expected a safe run.

But as luck would have had it, the film got made but never saw the light of the day. As Bokadia prepares to release another of his stuck projects 'The Challenge' [starring Sunny Deol in the lead], even 'Ek Hasina Ek Deewana' has gone for a title revamp and is now named 'Bekasoor'.

Keeping the fate of recently released 'Sandwich' in mind, even if the producers decide to release the stuck 'Bekasoor', they would have to ensure that it is publicized in a good manner and presented as a fresh project altogether

Don't disappoint, show promoters warned
Thursday August 24, 2006 
Fiji's Consumer Council has issued a warning to promoters of Bollywood events to avoid disappointing patrons as they have in the past. 
FCC chief executive Premila Kumar said promoters of these events have a bad track record. She said the council hoped the upcoming Priyanka Chopra show would be better organised in terms of crowd control, security issues, addressing long queues and seating arrangements. "The consumers are paying exorbitant ticket prices for these shows and at such rate they expect to get the best entertainment without mishaps and disappointments," added Kumar. The show will be held next month.

London, Aug 09: Filmstars Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra will be part of a battery of Bollywood actors who will perform in a star-studded show here later this month. 

The August 27-28 `Just Chill` show will also feature John Abraham, Zayed Khan, Katrina Kaif and Mallika Sherawat and will be held in Bolton and Glasgow. 

Britishers will also be treated with a musical extravaganza by music director-turned singer Himesh Reshammiya in October. 

Reshammiya`s concert `Aap Ka Suroor` has already kicked off and is playing to packed houses in the United States, the organisers said in a release

07/08/2006. After coming back from Malaysia, Priyanka Chopra is busy shooting 24 hours simultaneously for her films - Jain's 'Aap Ki Khatir' and Nikhil Advani's 'Salaam E Ishq'. Jain couldn't afford a delay so he requested Priyanka to do a song sequence with Akshaye Khanna. She agreed to work another shift. After shooting 1 to 7pm for AKK she will shoot for SEI from 8pm onwards. "My father keeps telling me that I work too hard. But then any parent would be worried about their child. But I keep reasoning with him that I am young and this is the time when I can work hard," reveals Priyanka.

Priyanka does her bit for the underprivileged!
It's really heartwarming to see actors go out of their way to do their bit for the society. Actor Priyanka Chopra recently organized a special screening of KRRISH for the underprivileged children of St Catherine's Home at a suburban multiplex. 

"Even if I don't get married I can spend the rest of my life with these underprivileged kids", she was quoted by a news agency. She is very fond of kids and also interacted with the children of sex-workers at a BMC school. 

She recently celebrated a quite birthday with her family and close friends. Her forthcoming films include AAP KI KHATIR, DON, SALAAM-E-ISHQ and GOD TUSSI GREAT HO. Great going Priyanka! 

Priyanka Chopra has done exceptionally well during the past year. Just when she is poised to win more accolades, she is undergoing a horrid trauma due to her father’s serious illness. He is battling cancer in a Mumbai hospital. 
Mumbai: Aug 12, 2005 --Cancelling all her shooting schedules, actor Priyanka Chopra has concentrated on caring for her father who is in the intensive care unit of a Mumbai hospital. He is battling with cancer. With Independence Day looming in front of her, Priyanka has publicly said that she and her family – especially her brave and strong mother – have been brought together because of the misfortune. As Mr. Chopra battles to overcome cancer, Priyanka and her family battle their fear and trauma. “I have taken leave from all my shooting assignments because I cannot concentrate on work,” she says, “I am scheduled to go to the United States for some live shows mid September and I am planning to take my father with me for specialised medical treatment,” she says soberly, “I found that courage surfaced when I was down and out. I have been able to get a handle on the trauma and am working to help my father recover as fast as he can.”
 

Christmas Eve With A Social Cause! ~ 26 Dec 2005 
  Christmas night glittered with stars in Delhi. It became special when some Bollywood personalities reached Delhi to rock at the charity concert on Saturday.

Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Esha Deol and Zayed Khan performed at the concert. The venue was Indira Gandhi Stadium which was packed with school children.

Dance, Music and jokes…Shah Rukh Khan did everything just to rock his hometown Delhi. While other actors like Rani Mukherjee and Priyanka Chopra accompanied him to generate charity. 

Well, if we look back then one can notice that this is not the first time. Bollywood needs no occasion to offer their service for a social cause. And here they proved again!

Christmas Eve with a social cause 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, December 26, 2005

Australian politician in Love Story 2050 
October 10, 2006. Australian Politician Mike Rann, who is the Premier of South Australia, is so fascinated with Bollywood films that he has agreed to play a cameo in a Priyanka Chopra starrer. Rann will appear in a song and dance sequence filmed on Priyanka Chopra in Love Story 2050. The song is being shot in Adelaide. Rann also met many filmmakers in Mumbai recently, which includes Yash Chopra, to invite them to shoot in Australia. And well, seems like there are about five more films that are going to be shot there in the coming year. After the European countries, now it looks like the Continent in the Southern Hemisphere is becoming the hot spot for shooting Bollywood films.

Congrats on Krrish. Did you expect it would be such a big hit? 
“I never say it, but I did expect Krrish would be a success. I didn’t think it would be such a phenomenon though. It has surpassed all my expectations.” 
Did Rakesh Roshan mention a sequel to Krrish while working on the film? 
“Everybody on the sets kept asking Rakesh Roshan about yet another sequel after Krrish. I told him he has to make a sequel because Krrish has become so successful now. Irrespective of whether I am there in the film or not, I would definitely like to see what happens to the character Krrish.”
 

Hooray for Bollywood!
Thursday, 12 October 2006. The Indian film industry (often referred to as Bollywood) made a fleeting visit to Kangaroo Island on Sunday and Monday as the stars of Love Story 2050 braved the elements to film in several exotic locations. 
Harmen Baweja, pictured, was perched on a rock at windy Pennington Bay on Sunday as co-star and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra, got some shelter from the elements. The crew shot at Pennington Bay, Remarkable Rocks and Admiral's Arch before heading back to Adelaide to shoot more for the $10 million film. While Chopra is a veteran of the giant Indian film industry, this is Baweja's debut and he's expected to become the "next big thing" in India. The director chose KI for its beautiful locations and pristine beaches

Priyanka Chopra is essaying the stunning Zeenat Aman's character [Roma] in Farhan Akhtar's eagerly anticipated DON, releasing on Diwali/Eid this year. In an interview to the BBC Asian Network to be aired soon, when she was asked about comparisons with Zeenat Aman, she exclusively divulged, "I am not trying to step in to Zeenat ji's shoes. She was in a league of her own. My character is very different from the one in the original. I'm playing a killer and have received special training in Martial Arts by a Shaolin teacher to prepare for the role! DON will show me in a completely new avatar!"
For long, there has been talk that contrary to perception, the new DON is replete with twists, turns and unforeseen surprises and thrills, and looks like this is only one of them!. U T V is releasing DON internationally on October 20

 

Currently in Malaysia, wrapping up a schedule of Farhan Akhtar’s Don, Priyanka Chopra’s thoughts are back home.

Not only is she troubled by reports of her former business manager inundating her family with unwanted attention, the actress is also anxious for her father, who has been seriously unwell for a year now.

Shooting in July

“My dad goes in for another surgery in July. My mom will accompany him. But I cannot go, because Salman Khan has allotted fresh dates for Nikhil Advani’s Salam-e-Ishq and since we’re shooting the film in July, I won’t be able to be with my dad,” Priyanka sighs, and then moves on to her favourite topic. “I’m coming back to Mumbai to start off Harman’s film — Love Story 2050, and to resume work on Salam-e-Ishq.”

Special film

Priyanka had sneaked into Mumbai recently, for a very special preview of Krrish attended by a select audience. “And they all loved the film. Javed saab and Shabanaji and Karan Johar had such lovely things to say. I’m very proud to be in Krrish. While working in it, I knew it was special. I didn’t know how special until I saw the film.”

As for Don, “We’re having so much fun. Farhan has shot some of the coolest action scenes ever filmed. In fact, both Krrish and Don have amazing action.”
