Priyanka Chopra not blog bitten

In the age of internet, where every second Bollywood star is hit by blogmania and preferring to have their respective blogs to connect with their fans across the world, here's one person who seems to be less fascinated towards it. Well the person in question is none other than the svelte beauty of Bollywood Priyanka Chopra. According to her, "Having one's own website is good but I personally feel that blogging is a one-sided affair and that's not the exact way to connect with your fans." At the same time she also respects & supports people like Big B, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan etc who have been into blogging world from quite sometime now, "Somewhere I feel I may not be that wise as Big B or Aamir to express myself. I have this inhibition ki Pata nahi utna aacha likh paaongi ki nahi, express karpaaongi ki nahi (I'm not too sure if I can write and express myself as well as others can). So that's why I think I have not involved myself into blogging," concludes Priyanka.
Well Priyanka, whether blogging or not, you sure can express yourself too well. 

Shahid: Priyanka and I are good friends

Kaminey also brings with it the Priyanka Chopra romance angle; it is being extensively reported that the two lead stars of the film are dating each other. “I’m not left with much of a choice, am I?’’ asks Shahid. “I’m linked to all my co-stars. With Kismat Konnection it was Vidya Balan, now with Kaminey it is Priyanka.’’ Smiling, he adds, “Priyanka and I are good friends. However, people have been jumping the gun. If we take our relationship further, I may talk about it; but people are in a rush to link us together. I will not lie or hide a relationship but I will not stand on the rooftop and announce it either.’’

Yash Raj launches website of Uday-Priyanka's Pyaar Impossible

Yash Raj Films has launched the website of its forthcoming movie called Pyaar Impossible, which stars Priyanka Chopra and Uday Chopra in the lead. The website, which was launched by Priyanka, will have regular day to day updates about the film. The website is from the point of view of the character Abhay played by Uday Chopra.Priyanka says, "Pyaar Impossible is about a geek - Abhay and a beauty - Alisha and how the two fall in love. Such things do happen in real life, I was a geek myself and when I was in the 8th standard I had a massive crush on a boy but I was so scared to admit it." The film is being directed by Jugal Hansraj and also stars Dino Morea. The film is written by Uday Chopra.Priyanka denied the fact that this film is an adaptation of the Hollywood flick Notting Hill saying, "It's not at all true because in Notting Hill, Julia Roberts plays a superstar and the guy is just a normal guy but in Pyaar Impossible I do not play a superstar but just a normal girl." When questioned by Businessofcinema.com, as to whether the film was an adaptation of the American series The Beauty and The Geek, she said, "The fact that two completely different people one a geek and the other a total opposite are brought together is probably the only similarity between the two, otherwise Pyaar Impossible is totally different. It's a romantic comedy."
The film went on floors on 17 April and the unit has already left for Singapore and Bangkok for the next schedule, where they will be shooting for approximately a month and half. Priyanka will be joining them in a couple of days.

Priyanka defends Shahid and hits back at Kareena Kapoor

Priyanka Chopra on Tuesday May 12th evening launched the website of her Yash Raj Productions film Pyaar Impossible. The film is directed by actor turned filmmaker Jugal Hansraj and co-stars her with Uday Chopra.Priyanka launched the website of her romantic comedy film – www.pyaarimpossible.in and then speaking about her role in the film said, “I play the beauty and Uday plays the geek. But in real life, when I was in school-college I was very geeky.”During the media interaction a journalist asked her reaction to the recent comments made by Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan that their names were being unnecessarily dragged for publicizing her forthcoming film Kaminey with her “good friend’ Shahid Kapoor. Priyanka like a true loyal “good friend’ gave a fitting reply to Kareena (she was Shahid’s ex girlfriend remember) and Saif’s accusations made in a Mumbai tabloid few days back. Priyanka said, “Kaminey is directed by Vishal Bharadwaj whose directorial credentials don’t need any introduction and it is produced by UTV which is amongst the best production houses in the country today. I have seen the film and I feel it’s a brilliant piece of work. All those who will see the film will definitely love it. We as the team of Kaminey are extremely well equipped and capable of publicizing the film and don’t require any outside help for the same.”
Few days back Kareena and Saif had reportedly claimed that their names were needlessly dragged to gain publicity for his films by Shahid. Kareena was in fact quoted stating, “Shahid should move on.”

Priyanka slams Kareena

At a recent filmi do for the movie Pyaar Impossible which rumours suggest are inspired by the American television series Beauty & The Geek.

But production house sources clearly deny this and say Uday Chopra has written the story himself), lead actress Priyanka Chopra (who plays the beauty) was asked by a mediaperson what she had to say about Kareena Kapoor claiming that she and Shahid Kapoor were using her name; just to get more mileage for their forthcoming film Kaminey.Cool as a cucumber (literally), PC dressed in a white sleeveless shirt didn’t bat her mascaraed eyelids as she said, “Kaminey is directed by the renowned filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj; it is produced by an established film corporation; it has Shahid Kapoor in a double role; it has me playing a Maharashtrian woman and so on. It definitely doesn’t need anyone else or anything else to get it publicity. Thank you, but no thank you!” Definitely watch this space: the next cat fight is going to be between PC and KK, and their overzealous publicity machinery because as coincidence has it, Kambhakht Ishq (Kareena) and Kaminey (Priyanka) are scheduled to release a week away from each other in the month of August 2009. Of course, the multiplex strike could take these dates even further...
