Priyanka Chopra effortlessly chic - and single!

Priyanka Chopra was amidst the Bollywood celebs returning from IIFA in Macau, China on Sunday late night

June 15, 2009, (SAWF News) - Priyanka Chopra was amidst the Bollywood celebs returning from IIFA in Macau, China on Sunday late night, June 14.

She won the Best Actress Award for her role as a small town model who makes it big in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion.


Priyanka looked effortlessly chic in blue skinny jeans, black bracelet length sleeves blouse with revealing V-neckline, and a black scarf.

She accessorized with a trendy white tote bag, black peeptoe heels, watch in her right arm, a chunky studded ring in her left hand index finger and an emerald and sapphire ring each in her right hand little finger and middle finger respectively.

She wore very light makeup and her medium brown hair was casually tied at the back with a few astray bangs framing her face.

Priyanka, 26 looked stunning in a beige Manish Malhotra saree and silver blouse at the IIFA awards where her presence took everyone by surprise. She arrived in Macau from Singapore hours before the show.

Priyanka is a self declared work-o-holic. "I like to keep busy every day. The concept of an off day is alien to me. I am happiest when my day is jammed with things to do."

The latest tabloid gossip has it that that Priyanka is once again single having broken off with Kaminey co-star Shahid Kapoor, which is not to suggest that they were ever together. Gerard Butler too was likely just a media hype.

Priyanka is currently concentrating on her career. She is filming for Yash Raj Films' Pyaar Impossible with co-star Uday Chopra.

The former Miss World says that she does not mind the glam and babe image that comes with being a Bollywood star but she aims for box office success and critical acclaim. According to her going deglam for a role does not make you a better actor. Audiences just know who is a good actor.

She will be next seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey followed by Ashutosh Gowarikar's Rashee.

Priyanka's loss is Bipasha's gain!

The luggage brand, which Shahid Kapoor endorses, recently approached Priyanka Chopra to be part of their second sub-brand ad.

Obviously the brand wanted to cash in on the budding romance between the pair. But the actress quoted a whopping amount and now Bipasha Basu has been signed by the luggage brand, which caters to the youth and comes in vibrant colors.

It was Bling who cracked the deal for Bengali Bombshell. A source reveals, "Bipasha will be shooting for the brand solo. The shooting will start next week in a Mumbai studio. Anaita Shroff Adajania will style Bips for a photo shoot that has been planned before shooting the ad."

Shahid and Priyanka will be seen together in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey, which is slated for release shortly.

Shahid doesn't want Priyanka to drink Alcohol

We all know Priyanka Chopra was recently admitted in a hospital for her tummy infection. But not many are aware that the she has been put off from alcohol following her discharge.

Sources claim, it is not just the doctors but her boy friend Shahid Kapoor who seems to have imposed a NO DRINKS rule on her.

Sources add, "Though Priyanka cannot be called an alcoholic, she does enjoy a glass of wine or champagne occasionally that too only when she is with her closest friends.

Shahid is a strict vegetarian and also a teetotaler and it is but natural that he expects his new girl friend to be the same. It is a known fact that Shahid had turned his ex girlfriend Kareena Kapoor vegetarian and a teetotaler like him too.

This step with Priyanka has been taken by him because he was extremely worried when she got stomach infection as there was fear of it aggravating by having alcohol."

The source further adds, "It is not just alcohol, Shahid is also wanting Priyanka to go slow on work and take enough rest."

Ranbir Paired with Priyanka Chopra

It looks like the seemingly never-say-die friendship between director Siddharth Anand and Saif Ali Khan is for all practical purposes, over.

After their two films together Salaam Namaste and Ta Ra Rum Pum, the two had sworn to work together again... and again. But Ta Ra Rum Pum didn't do well. And Siddharth quickly got gravitated towards his childhood buddy Ranbir Kapoor for his next film Bachna Ae Haseeno.

It was widely believed that Saif would be back in Sid Anand's next which he is committed to make for producer Sajid Nadiadwala.

But the producer confirms that Ranbir is the lead in the film that Sid Anand is making for Nadiadwala.

The surprising bit of casting is the hot-and-happening Priyanka Chopra. Though neither producer nor director are willing to confirm, according to dependable sources, Priyanka who's currently shooting with Uday Chopra for Yash Raj Films Pyaar Impossible will be teamed up with Ranbir for the first time.

The actress has lately been window-shopping for the hottest male actors in Bollywood and has so far managed films with all the three Khan superstars, several projects with Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan, has just completed Kaminey with Shahid Kapoor and is now on to the new generation of stars with Ranbir leading the bright pack. The pairing spree certainly gives Priyanka an edge over her rivals.

Siddharth Anand describes the Ranbir-Priyanka film as, "A rom-com which I've specialized in over the years. But this is a twisted one with a twang and all that jazz."

Is Shahid making Priyanka ill?

Constant tiffs between the self-willed Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapur warn us of another B-town couple going kaput

Shahid Kapur might have been instrumental in getting his ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor to switch to vegetarian food, but he should forget pressing any of his beliefs on Priyanka Chopra, for she isn't going to take them lying down. And constant fighting between Shahid and Priyanka is exactly what's taking a toll on her health.

Although everything seems hunky-dory on the face of it, Priyanka is extremely stressed with all the tiffs she has with Shahid. This is one of the major reasons why she fell ill recently. But with the release of their film, Kaminey around the corner, both are trying their best to stick around with each other, afraid to risk negative publicity as this would be an important release for both.

Our source said, “Shahid and Priyanka started seeing each other right from the second schedule of the film. Priyanka hadn't even dumped Harman Baweja, but as Shahid had a more promising career than his, she latched on to Shahid. It was during Shahid's birthday party where the trouble started. Priyanka was enjoying her vodka shots, and Shahid, a staunch follower of Radhasoami, disapproved of it. They had a tiff, and mind you, this was just the beginning.”

Our source added, “The couple then constantly bickered over Priyanka's partying as Shahid, as opposed to her, is an introvert. Then they had a major showdown one evening when Priyanka had a few drinks again. Their fight turned so ugly that it affected the already stressed Priyanka. She fainted on the sets of her film and had to be admitted to the hospital.”

Priyanka's father, Dr Ashok Chopra laughed it off and said, “This is hardly true. Priyanka is perfectly fine now and is back to shooting.”

The source further said, "Priyanka Chopra has only signed YRF's film with Uday Chopra in recent times. Her hits have not transferred to work with major banners. Her next release after Kaminey is with Harman Baweja who unfortunately is yet to make his mark and that's the reason, she does not want to break off her new relationship with Shahid."

Bipasha, Kareena, Priyanka are Bollywood’s ‘hot’ girls

Not everyone can carry off a bikini well. In Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra are the stars who do it with panache thanks to their attitude and confidence, say fashion experts. While Kareena wore a lemon bikini for Tashan and became the talk of the town for her size zero, Priyanka slipped into a sexy golden swimsuit for Dostana.

“Kareena and Priyanka carried off their bikini act in their respective movies pretty well because they had the right attitude and confidence to carry off the two-piece with aplomb. They were sure of their bodies as well as the way they were looking on the camera,” ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani said.

According to Mumbai-based celebrity designer Gavin Miguel, Bipasha rocked the big screen when she wore a bikini in Dhoom 2. “Bipasha really took the audience by surprise with her bikini act in the movie. She looked hot, sexy and very confident. The best part about her is that she has got a well-proportioned body and so a two-piece looks good on her,” said Miguel.

‘It’ll even be nice to do a film together’: Shah Rukh

Shah Rukh Khan expressed that holding back releases from multiplexes was no ‘strike’ or ‘embargo’. “It is just a pipeline in the entire system that needs some working. We are not going to cut our nose to spite our face.

We aren’t fighting out of greed or for profit. We are fighting for equality. Our cry is ‘Fair rights for Friday nights’.

This is no show of power; the mission is just to bring about fair dialogue between the producers, distributors and exhibitors.

Every film should be treated equally,” he said. “We don’t consider the multiplex owners to be ‘mafia’. We’re passionate filmmakers who’ll continue investing time, energy and money in movies.

We are the employees of the audience and not of the multiplexes,” added SRK. Hopefully some good will emerge out of the dialogue between the forum and the exhibitors; after all it brought Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh together.

“It’s nice to sit on the podium together, it’ll be nice to sit in a car together, it’ll even be nice to do a film together,” said Shah Rukh. “We’re mature, intelligent people, I’m a little less intelligent than Aamir, but our camaraderie is really a non-issue right now. There are bigger things that need attention.”

‘We’re not splitting’: Hrithik

Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has rubbished reports of his having split with wife Suzanne saying that he is having “a picnic” with her and his kids.

A leading Mumbai tabloid reported that Hrithik and Suzanne have parted ways when she had moved to her parents’ house. “It’s too funny! Yes, Suzanne shifted to her parents’ place with the kids two days ago and I was to join her on my return as there is a white ant treatment going on in my house and a section of my floor is being renovated.

I’m with Suzanne right now having a picnic with my wife, kids and in-laws,” said Roshan Junior. It was allegedly reported that that trouble began to brew in their paradise after Roshan started becoming cosy with his Kites co-star, Mexican actress Barbara Mori. But none of this is true.

Deepika Padukone: Not insecure

A lovely bouquet of flowers was recently presented to Ranbir Kapoor in front of Deepika Padukone. Interestingly, the bouquet was from a secret admirer who even proposed marriage in the greeting card that came with it.

And girlfriend Deepika, instead of getting suspicious simply laughed it off. A source said: “The duo burst out laughing as Ranbir’s secret admirer expressed her desire to marry him. It shows Deepika is not insecure, possessive or jealous.” Well, we’re sure Deepika must be getting her share of flowers, too. If not, Ranbir can send her some... After all this is one ‘budding’ romance!

Mugdha was flying high

Mugdha Godse -- the promising newcomer from Fashion seems to be highly inspired by “realistic” filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. The actress wanted her drunk-scene from Jail to look convincing; so she actually consumed a bottle of champagne for a song sequence.

“For a song in Jail where Neil offers champagne to Mugdha, Mugdha insisted that actual champagne be poured into the glass. Madhur wanted to get the scene right and went for multiple retakes.

As a result Mugdha ended up consuming champagne sufficient enough to make her pleasantly tipsy,” we were informed. Of course the unit had reason enough to laugh their hearts out, but Mugdha was flying high and wouldn’t allow anyone to dampen her ‘spirit’.
