Priyanka is happy!
26 December 2007 | Actress | No Comments
She has just started work on her new glamourous film Fashion. And her new home is almost ready. "All the credit must go to my stylist Rita Dhody, my dress designer Narendra Kumar and my interior designer Sussanne Roshan who's done up my house. Rita Dhody and Narendra Kumar are styling my look in Fashion. They make an extremely talented team. It's very important to get the right look for every character. The mantra for 2008 is style. And I plan to experiment lavishly with my look." Fashion is going to give Priyanka a startling look. "I start as a plain small-towner and then go ultra-chic as a model."
Sussanne Roshan, who has also done Rani Mukherjee's new place (along with another star-wife Twinkle Khanna), and Priyanka go back a long way. "We bonded beautifully when Duggu and I shot Krrish. Both of them are my close and dependable friends."
Priyanka moves into her new house in February or March 2008. "Suzanne is just putting some finishing touches to it. We're really looking forward to moving into it. It's looking fantastic. I'm very excited. I do own a place in Mumbai. But it's functional. I never had a chance to make it a home. My new place has been done brick by brick by me and Sussanne. It's a sweet modest little place. But hey, it's mera ghar!"
2007 was a year of turmoil for Priyanka. There were legal and police hassles regarding financial endeavours. At home her dad struggled with a serious illness. Sighs Priyanka, "There were other problems created by various people. I've accepted those as an inevitable part of each year. The more popular you get the more the number of people who want to target you. That's fine. It's a professional hazard. You've got to take it in your stride. But the best happening of the year was dad coming home from hospital hopefully whole and healed. On the professional front I had Salaam-e-Ishq at the beginning of the year and Big Brother later, both box office disappointments. But I'm going to make up in 2008 with four to five releases beginning with the comedy God Tussi Great Ho with Salman."
Salman and Priyanka seem to have made up. "When were we ever at loggerheads?" she blinks diplomatically. "In 2007 I completed two mega-marathons Drona and Love Story 2050. These two films took up a lot of time. The shooting for these films took extra time because of the special effects. I also hurt myself while shooting for Drona." Speaking of hurt, Kareena Kapoor lately made a statement about Priyanka not being worthy of being called an actress. "Kareena is a more senior and hopefully more mature actress than me. I guess she's qualified to comment on my calibre. When I reach her level of experience maybe I too can comment on the calibre of my contemporaries and juniors. I'd just like to let my work speak for me. And that includes Aitraaz where Kareena was also a part." ….read more
