| But
clearly the damage has been done. While innuendos still abound,
Priyanka looking like a zillion bucks and plays it cool. |
| Constant media scrutiny has compelled the diva to stop reading newspapers. She says it's a way to protect herself as she likes being in her own bubble "Every time there is something I know that is going to irritate me, I try and block it out. So I don't read the newspaper or see the news. I like to stay in my own bubble. It's my way to protect myself, because I happen to be in the newspaper more often than not.” Say’s India's glam diva.
Ask her if the rumours affects her work Priyanka answers promptly in the affirmative “Yes, it affects me. I still feel bad when unnecessary things are discussed. Think from a regular girl’s perspective. How would she feel if her talking to guys is questioned? If she is generally chatting up with a boy and it is assumed each time that she will get married to him-it is just annoying,” Say’s the actress.
“I think people forget that I am a girl who is sensitive to such things and may get hurt in the bargain. They just remember that I am an actress and probably that’s why they discuss me so much. People say one gets used to it after a point of time, but no, I haven’t gotten used to it. I think it is very rude to discuss such things,” added PC. But the actress cheekily admitted that she would get worried if one fine day people stopped discussing her. |

| Fed up of linking rumours with King Khan, Priyanka Chopra say’s that she would keep mum as far as Shah Rukh Khan is concerned. The actress adds there's no tension between the two, and SRK is as heart-warming as ever. On being asked if she now hesitates talking about SRK to media "Definitely. Now I don’t talk about him at all. I’ve always respected, emulated and idolised him but I don’t like to talk about it anymore."
Any tension between you two? "None whatsoever. SRK is as heart-warming as ever. He recently came on my show on a public platform. He was fun like he always is," adds the actress.
But there have been all kinds of speculations claiming that SRK will never work with PC in the future “Look, if an actor doesn’t want to work with me, he won’t. I don’t want to get into whether he won’t because his wife or director has warned him against it or he himself is averse to it. I’m a self-made girl, I am a complete outsider, I’ve never been recommended by anyone. I’ve made a career for myself. I’ve never had my father or friends make a movie for me, I didn’t have any brother, sister, friend, boyfriend or anyone else to show me the way. I’m extremely thankful to the industry for giving me a chance to be here and grow. I take immense pride in the way I’ve led my life so whatever issues other people have, are their problems. If it affects my career so be it but that’s not going to change the way I lead my life. I take pride in the woman I am, I’ll never do anything that I can’t stand by and say, “Ya I did it. So?” I’ll never do a film thinking, “Arre yaar bada banner hai, I don’t like the role but I’ll still do it.” If someone doesn’t want to work with me, it’s okay. I’ll find a smaller film to do, I’m a heroine and I’m small compared to all the big heroes. I conduct myself with dignity and that’s what matters.” Priyanka ends with a power packed blow. |

| Priyanka puts up a brave front on her reported alienation from the Salman Khan camp. "I have worked with every co-actor possible. I don't come from a film background. I don't have relationships with people in terms of uncles and aunts. I have been an outsider. Wherever I'm today is due to the support of this film industry. They have given big films and amazing work to me. It hasn't been because of any director, production house, actor or a person. I have never been a part of any camp. I respect every co-actor tremendously and equally. I would work with anyone," declares the actress.
As for her not having worked ever with the third Khan of the triumvirate, Aamir, she simply laughs, "Ask Aamir. If the offer hasn't come to me yet, what can I say about it?"
Tell us about your dark side “I’m a private person. I don’t open up even to friends or family. But while writing lyrics something kept pouring out from deep within. It’s not a persecution complex but I’m fascinated by the dark side of life. I’ve always had a bubbly, happy life. My family has been great, so have my friends but the forbidden fruit has always fascinated me. I like doing everything I’m told not to. My mother sent me to a hostel because I used to say no so often. She always used reverse psychology with me. Maybe it’s a need to prove that I have a mind of my own. But I’ve been a little on the edge.” |
