Priyanka Chopra Fansite

The brand ambassador for Spice Mobile, Priyanka Chopra met 50 excited fans, who won a lucky evening with the actress on Monday. But the fans weren’t the only people who were excited. Priyanka herself was ecstatic at India’s win at the inaugural ICC Twenty20 World Championship.
“I am so excited that India won the World Cup,” Priyanka said. India’s win definitely added gloss to what was for some an already sparkling evening. And the actress couldn’t wipe the smile off her face
It was also the perfect occasion to look back at the stars that got her eyes twinkling. “I was a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan always and when I came to Bombay for my Miss India pageant for the first time. He was my judge. So that was my dream come true,” said the actress.
When asked if it was the big wish or an idea that changed her life, the actress said, “If I hadn’t had the idea of joining Miss India I wouldn’t have been here today.”

Priyanka Chopra, ex Miss India would like everyone to believe that she is currently single, but the gossip mills continue with rumours that she is  dating Harman Baweja , whom she will also be seen with in Love Story 2050. However according to rumours Priyanka was earlier dating a relatively unknown face in bollywood upcoming actor Aryeman. Priyanka and Aryeman supposedly got close to each other while she was shooting for her debut film, Anil Sharma’s Hero.

Aryeman has acted alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the film Family, but earlier when he was assisting producer Pravin Shah for the film Hero in which Priyanka starred the two got very close. Love first blossomed during a shooting schedule for Hero in Canada, but no one was really aware as Aryeman was not well-known and Priyanka too was relatively new in the film industry. For three months during the shooting schedule in Canada, the couple was inseparable, and after they returned too they kept in touch. However later a misunderstanding occurred between the couple and their relationship soured, ever since then the two have not even been on talking terms.

Aryeman admits that he and Priyanka were close; he says “Priyanka and I were very close friends, we shared almost everything. But we had some misunderstandings due to some people. We haven’t spoken to each other after that. I last met her at Lilavati hospital when Amitabh Bachchan was not well. I had gone to see Mr. Bachchan, so had she. But we didn’t have any conversation.” However it seems both Priyanka and Aryeman have moved on, with Priyanka dating Harman and Aryeman currently dating actress Sayali Bhagat who recently made her debut in the film The Train. On the topic of Aryeman, Priyanka’s secretary Mishra said “Why dig up skeletons now” Aryeman will also be seen opposite Sayali in a film titled Good Luck.

Not so slowly yet surely Priyanka Chopra has made to the top. Having signed a three film deal with UTV, that gives her a lot of creative control over her films, she is assured of the choicest roles in the best of the films.

While not an outstanding actor, Priyanka blends beauty with good communication skills and political deftness. Despite her success, she comes through as modest likeable person grounded in reality.

When asked by Z-News as to what she aspired for in the future, having already achieved stardom the 24-year-old modestly joked:

“I have been in the industry for just four years…why do you want me to retire. There is a lot I have yet to do. I love films…this is just the beginning!”

Similarly, when quizzed on how she felt about reprising Meena Kumari’s role in the forthcoming remake of Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Priyanka was politically correct with her response.

Priyanka Chopra’s recent three movie deal with UTV has undoubtedly brought her commercial success and a fat paycheck to boot, but the 24-year-old has yet to make her mark as an actor.

Priyanka Chopra’s recent three movie deal with UTV has undoubtedly brought her commercial success and a fat paycheck to boot, but the 24-year-old has yet to make her mark as an actor.

In contrast, Vidya Balan, 25, has repeatedly made her mark as an actor in commercially successful films such as Parineeta, Lage Raho Munnabhai and Guru.

Priyanka, seems to understand that her status as a much sought after young actor maybe short lived unless she can stand up to the completion from the likes of Vidya Balan and Kareena Kapoor.

‘I would like to be known as Priyanka the actor; as someone who can play any role with ease’, she told TOI in a recent interview.

Pretty Pragmatic Priyanka, additionally has an open mind on what she should or should not be doing. She understands that success will come to her not because of the genre or the director of her films but her ability to come good on a challenging assignment.

‘What matters is the script and the character. If I feel that the story is powerful enough, I would go for it. Even if a director offers me a movie with exactly five scenes or it’s a blink-and-miss role, I wouldn’t think twice before accepting it provided it’s something challenging and never been done before.’

As a former Miss World, Priyanka has the intelligence and training to say the right things, but it remains to be seen whether she has the talent to walk her talk.
