 JULY 11 - Priyanka Chopra, who has had a phenomenal career growth,
performed at a show in Antwerp, Belgium's capital city, with Kareena Kapoor and Malaika Arora
and says it was like a girls' day out, reported IANS today."No guys. Just us three girls
dancing. It was fun," said Priyanka, who performed in the Belgian city
last week.
"Since I came in 2002, I have had some successes. I am very
excited. My tagline for the success of Krrish is, 'Krissh
arrives Superman returns.' Isn't that cool? I love it. I am so excited
about the success of Krrish. I have never planned anything in
life. When these wonderful things happen to me, I am just so
grateful," a smiling Priyanka said.
Life is looking rosy after Krrish in which Hrithik Roshan
played the title role, IANS further says in its article.
"It's been just two weeks since its release. I wish I had more time to
enjoy the success. But at least I am in Mumbai. I feel really bad for
Duggu (Hrithik) because he is away. I can see how people are reacting.
"On the day of the release, I went theatre hopping. I stood outside
the exits of eight-nine theatres and heard people go mad. I loved it."
Priyanka has clearly come to terms with the somewhat tepid response
she personally got for Krrish.
"Whatever people say I won't allow it to take it away from my
pleasure at the success of Krrish. Hrithik is a fantastic
actor. Anyone who works with him has to try really hard to be as good
as him. I am learning on the job. I can't tell you how much I have
learnt from Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan during Krrish."
For the first time, Priyanka talks about the pain she went through
during the shooting of Krrish.
"I am not making excuses for people's reaction. But I really went
through shitty times during the shooting. My dad fell ill, and it was
a trying time for me. But I don't want to blame any personal
circumstance for my bad clothes, makeup, whatever. It was my fault.
"As a professional I have to give 100 per cent of myself to a film,
no matter what trials I may have gone through. If I seem lackadaisical
in the film, I have no right to do so. Now I have become a lot more
conscious about my responsibilities. I can't take anything for
granted."
It's being said that Priyanka has the maximum number of hits to her
credit after Hema Malini.
"Wow that's flattering. I love Hema-ji. She is so
beautiful. Along with Hema-ji my favourites are Madhuri Dixit,
Sridevi and Kajol. They are my temples and institutions."
Her next release will be Dharmesh Darshan's Aap Ki Khatir.
"I don't know how the film has shaped up. But I am very happy with
my role and performance. I am waiting for that film to surprise me as
well. What thrills me most is the variety of directors I am working
with. If Dharmesh is a class act, Nikhil Advani, with whom I am
shooting Salaam-E-Ishq at this very moment, is another ball
game.
"Nikhil is such a caring director. He gives me time to prepare
myself. If I need extra minutes to do my makeup he waits patiently. I
tell you, good things happen to good people. Nikhil is one of them."
At the moment Priyanka hasn't signed anything new.
"Because I haven't been enthused by anything to that extent. Of
course, there are plenty of offers. But I am playing it safe. At this
moment I can't afford to slip up. I know how hard I have worked to get
here." |
