Priyanka ready for action

We've been gladly swamped with all the buzz about Farhan Akhtar's upcoming Don.

From initial pictures, to the lukewarm soundtrack. From your take on how the old music was better, to the first shots of the new Khaike paan.

But while Shah Rukh Khan has dominated the promos and the publicity, Don is also about Roma, the feisty fighter played mesmerisingly by Zeenat Aman in the original.

So while we've all seen glimpses of Priyanka Chopra in the promos, here's a shot of the actress getting her martial arts training right.

Well, at least she's looking lithe enough.

You get to see her in action in a couple of weeks. Don releases for Eid/Diwali on October 20.

Priyanka is the sexiest Asian

Priyanka Chopra has been voted The Sexiest Asian Woman of 2006, in a poll conducted by Eastern Eye, a weekly newspaper printed in the UK.

Other prominent Indian faces who have found their place in the top ten are Bipasha Basu, Aishwarya Rai, Mallika Sherawat, Riya Sen and Malaika Arora Khan.

When informed, Priyanka was apparently looking applauded. Sure beating Aishwarya Rai is always an overwhelming experience.

“It is really flattering that people think that way of me but it is a bit confusing as well because I don’t see myself that way. But I am very grateful and very glad.”

Surprisingly Ashwariya Rai, regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world is rated as third when it comes to oozing sex appeal, while the pouty Mallika Sherawat is placed at number four.

“Her combination of classical beauty and brains has massive sex appeal for Asian men,” said Hamant Verma, editor of Eastern Eye, of Chopra. “She is likely to continue the momentum gained from Krrish with roles in her forthcoming films Don, God Tussi Great Ho, Salaam-e-Ishq and Utthaan” he added.

Actress Laila Rouass is the highest ranked British Asian at number five, just beating the Afghanistan-born Hammasa Kohistani who was crowned Miss England in 2005.

Tennis star, Sania Mirza is the top most non-model, non-actress woman to break into the list at number 25.

Eastern Eye carries out the contest each year and women from the Indian subcontinent as well as the Asian diaspora around the world are considered.

I am proud to be part of DON! - Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra is upset at a news report claiming that she had been confiding to close friends about her unhappiness on sharing the limelight with hotties Ishaa Koppikar and Kareena Kapoor in the forthcoming DON. Both of them have been appreciated in the 'Main Hoon Don' and 'Yeh Mera Dil' tracks respectively.

It seems Priyanka was not pleased about sharing poster space with her female co-stars and with their high presence in the film's television publicity.

In her defense, Priyanka emphatically clarifies, "The rumour is absolutely baseless and silly. I've been out of town for nearly three months on work, shuttling between countries and living out of a suitcase. Do I look insecure? I'm so proud to be a part of DON. It was a great opportunity to work with such a fantastic bunch of professionals - Shah Rukh, Ritesh and Farhan. I hope to work with them again. It's among the highlight films of my career."

When asked about sharing the limelight with Kareena and Ishaa, she shot back, "I've worked with Kareena before. She's wonderful and adds to the star value of the set-up. Even Ishaa is very good in the film. I really wish people would stop creating fire when there's none!"

Priyanka - Govinda film retitled

Once upon a time Govinda was a reigning star and Priyanka Chopra was a Miss World looking for a step in the right direction to movies.

This was when 'Ek Hasina Ek Deewana' happened. To be directed by K C Bokadia, it wasn't the grandest of setups for Priyanka but guess she may have found the unusual pairing to be exciting enough. With a supporting cast comprising of Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Kader Khan, Johny Lever and Sharat Saxena, she knew that she was headed for a pucca masala fare and hence would have expected a safe run.

But as luck would have had it, the film got made but never saw the light of the day. As Bokadia prepares to release another of his stuck projects 'The Challenge' [starring Sunny Deol in the lead], even 'Ek Hasina Ek Deewana' has gone for a title revamp and is now named 'Bekasoor'.

Keeping the fate of recently released 'Sandwich' in mind, even if the producers decide to release the stuck 'Bekasoor', they would have to ensure that it is publicized in a good manner and presented as a fresh project altogether.

Priyanka Chopra - Knocking doors at the top

While it is a known fact that the battle of supremacy for the top 3 actresses is fiercely between Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta and Aishwarya, an actress that is just waiting in the wings round the corner is Priyanka Chopra.

Though 'Krrish' is undoubtedly a Roshan film, even Priyanka has all the reasons to enjoy the fruits of the film's super-success. While her 'Aap Ki Khatir' may not be the next blockbuster in the making, by the look of things she should be the best part of the film due to various traits of the character she plays. Her best bet in the coming months is 'Don - the Chase Begins Again' that seems to have a HIT written all over it and can be yet another entry into her list of successes.

Early next year arrives 'Salaam-E-Ishq: A Tribute To Love' and if reports from insiders are to be believed, it is going to be THE big film of 2007! Apart from these, Priyanka has two confirmed biggies in her kitty - 'London Dreams' [directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi] and 'Love Story 2050' [a multi crore futuristic film directed by Harry Baweja]. And for those who want to see her doing something different, there is 'Chamki Chameli' that would be directed by Shyam Benegal.

With a mix of such films, she should soon be knocking the doors for a top spot!

Biography

Priyanka Chopra
Born on July 18th, 1982 to Captain Dr. Ashok Chopra (an army surgeon) and Dr. Madhu Chopra. As yet another future Miss India born into an army family, her childhood was septn moving around to every corner of India. Eventually, she was sent to a Lucknow girls' school and then to Bareilly, U.P.

According to Priyanka, she went to high school in Boston, Massachusetts, but other records indicate that she graduated from Cepar Rapids, Iowa's John F. Kennedy High School. At 18, she claimed that she had interest in studying Software Engineering or becoming a Criminal Psychologist. Apparently, she had success in the fields of singing, dance, English and volunteerism.

Upon her return to India, which was either for vacation or permanently, she entered the Femina Miss India contest. Again, we are led to a confusing story. She now claims that she had no idea about the contest and was called by the magazine to enter. Another report claims her brother and grandmother sent in her photos to the office while she was there.

Despite being an underdog in the Femina Miss India contest, she came ahead in the final night to give Lara Dutta and Diya Mirza stiff competition. In fact, by the end of Round III, the points accumulated by all three women caused a tie, and a tie-breaker question was asked. In the end, it was Lara Dutta who was off to the Miss Universe contest in Cyprus, where she won. Priyanka Chopra was crowned Femina Miss India-World and began the more daunting task: representing India in the world's largest beauty pageant in London, in it's 50th anniversery of existence, with a live and endless repeat telecasts on India's largest channel, Zee Television. In November 2000, she was crowned Miss World 2000.

After travelling across the world, she gave up her crown in November 2001 in Sun City and gave up her goal of higher education for a new one: Bollywood. In 2003, she made her debut in The Hero, co-starring Sunny Deol. The movie was slightly successful, and it was on to Andaaz, co-starring Lara Dutta. The movie was a hit in India. Her third release just took place, with the film Plan, co-starring Sanjay Dutt.
