Priyanka Chopra has always been in news for her differences with the female co-stars. Her cat-fight with Kareena Kapoor is too well known. She also seems to share cold vibes with Lara Dutta with whom she worked in the early phase of her career. Now, media is abuzz with the tales of her differences with Kangana Ranaut with whom she stars in Madhur Bhandarkar’s forthcoming ‘Fashion’. However, Priyanka denies any such difference with Kangana and said in an interview to a news agency, “Please stop thinking of us as rivals at each other’s throats. I worked with Kareena Kapoor and Lara Dutta in my two earliest films. We worked without any kind of tension. Now I hear I’m at loggerheads with Kangana while shooting for Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Fashion’. That I’m feeling threatened by her presence, when in fact we get along famously.”“Kangana and I share a lot in common. Like me she’s an outsider who has been wholeheartedly embraced and adopted by Mumbai. Besides we’ve our individual space in ‘Fashion’. So this reported friction is again fiction,” Priyanka added.

2007 was a year of tremendous turmoil for Priyanka. There were legal and police hassles regarding financial endeavours. At home her dad struggled with a serious illness.Sighs Priyanka, “In 2007 I’ve just been busy doing commercials. And then there were other problems created by various people. I’ve accepted those as an enevitable part of each year.The more popular you get the more the number of people who want target you. That’s fine. It’s a professional hazard. You’ve got to take it in your stride. I’m glad I’ve my family to stand by me. They’re my strength and my weakness.”Sighs the discreet diva, “The end of 2007 seemed to be the beginning of the year for me because I started Fashion. I’ll soon be starting Karan Johar production with Abhishek and John. Both the films will be over by July. So the first-half of 2008 is packed.”She’s looking forward to working with Abhishek and John again.“Abhishek and I had some fun times during Bluff Master and with John I did one of my toughest roles in Karam. I enjoyed that though it didn’t work at the box office. But then a film doing well or not is in nobody’s hands,” says the actor who in five years has given the maximum number of hits and has earned the tag of the new-millennium Hema Malini. She hopes to fashion a new success in Fashion. “It’s actually becoming a much bigger film than what it was meant to be. Let’s face it, success is important. And to me the boxoffice is very important.”Fashion is a special challenge. “The character requires a lot of hard work. The graph is so steep. Madhur Bhandarkar is keeping me on my toes constantly.Yes, I admit Krissh and Don didn’t have as much space for me as Fashion. But one does all kinds of movies. I enjoy the experience of trying something new each time.In Fashion I’m far more at the forefront than Krissh or Don. But the challenge is the same.”
Being a proud owner of a perfect figure, Priyanka Chopra definitely did not like those extra pounds on her boyfriend Harman Baweja. So, during the shoot of ‘Victory’ in Jaisalmer where Harman was instructed to keep himself away from butter chicken, reshmi kababs, tikkas and all that by Priyanka Chopra.Baweja Jr. was put on a strict diet of salads and bland food during the shoot which bored him. Poor Harman cribbed about salads being bland but, Priyanka and Harman both resisted the tempting Malaysian cuisine.However, the couple treated themselves with all the Australian delicacies when they when they went partying in Sydney, on New Year’s Eve.
Priyanka is caught up in the F-word these days. No, don’t get us wrong. It’s Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest film Fashion which is keeping her busy all the time.As she says herself, “I have been so busy these days that I have found no time to introspect. Fashion is the only movie right now that I am going to be taking a lot of stress over.”2007 has been a cold year for this former Miss World but Priyanka is eagerly looking forward to 2008 in which she will feature in as many as half dozen films.“This year I had a sort of sabbatical year and this year just two releases. But 2008 will be my busiest calendar as I would be acting in six films. I have acted in about 20 films in my four-year-old cinema career so far and 2008 will be the busiest,” says Priyanka.Her new releases coming out in the next one year include: God Tussi Great Ho with Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan , Love Story 2050 with Harman Baweja , Drona with Abhishek Bachchan , Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion , another film called Chamki Chameli and a yet-to-be-named film with John Abraham as co-star.Priyanka also tells that there were some calls from the Hollywood to act in English films, but she first preferred to ‘master’ acting in Indian films.But coming back to on-screen fashion travails, it is her off-screen fashion issues that are in the news.At a recent polo event in the city, Priyanka apparently refused to wear a Rohit Bal gown that was provided by the organisers. Priyanka, however, dismisses it as a mix of mere speculation and a lot of gossip. “Not at all! I have absolutely no issue there. In fact, I love Rohit’s work.That day when I came for the event, I had a choice of outfits from various designers. A lot of them did not fit me because I had not done trials in Mumbai before coming for the event. And so, whatever fit me, I wore it for the event. I couldn’t have managed the fitting here in Delhi because we were running late. We were really tight on time,” she says.
