They find me predatory: Priyanka

She has guts, luck, hunger... and a mind of her own! Subhash K Jha charts the journey of Priyanka Chopra from the dark side of the moon to an actor to be reckoned with!

From saying no to the unfaithful wife's role in Sanjay Guptas Musafir to blissfully sinking her teeth into the role of a woman who kills seven husbands and gets away with murder, Priyanka Chopra has come a long way in just eight years.

Gupta was deeply offended when Priyanka had refused Musafir. She thought it was outside her comfort zone. The matter ended there. You can't make Priyanka Chopra change her mind.

After seeing Musafir, I asked Priyanka why she had said no to it. Did you see Mahesh Manjrekar saying, Blouse khol to his wife Priyanka retorted. She didnt sound shocked or scandalised, just amused. We both burst out laughing. Its rare to find Priyanka making a politically incorrect statement, even as a joke. Earlier on, Id tease her about being the new Rani Mukherjee who always made sure she said the correct things. Thats good, na. Rani is so good at her job and so successful.

The comfort zone is a place Priyanka is very sure about. She wont say no to a role, because it requires body exposure. But she isn't comfortable flaunting cleavage. Priyanka is the most obdurate actress I've come across. She gives you a long rope as a journalist. But if she's put off, she takes a long time to come around. Write what you want as long as it isnt slanderous or damaging, she once told me. At that time, she was trying to make things work with Shahid Kapoor, who had issues regarding her friendship with other men.
An article I wrote on Priyanka and Gerard Butler messed up things even more for her with Shahid. It took her a long time to get over that one. It messed up her plans for her heart. Priyanka always has a gameplan, which I suspect is hidden away even from God.

In her early days in the film industry, Priyanka was not so sure of which way to go with her career.The hunger to excel was always there.In the mornings before shooting started for her first few films (The Hero with Sunny Deol, Andaaz with Akshay Kumar ),she attended Kathak and yoga classes. Thats when she would call from her car. You dont call me. You've bigger heroines to talk to, she would say and laugh throatily.

In those early days, her father would often negotiate projects for Priyanka.JP Dutta was casting for Umrao Jaan. Both Priyanka and her father were keen that she gets the part.JP quietly signed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Not once did I hear Priyanka bitch or crib about the injustice of it all.

Come to think of it,many parts that Priyanka has instinctively turned down or the ones that have been snatched away have turned out to be turnips at the turnstiles. I once told her she is blessed. Not blessed, she laughed throatily. I work hard. And I've a good judgement of what works for me.

In all the time that I've known her I've never heard Priyanka bitch about any of her competitors. Not Aishwarya, Kareena not even Katrina. Its always others who have felt threatened by Priyanka. I think women and men see something predatory about me.

It hasnt been easy getting here. When Priyanka and Lara Dutt came into the film industry simultaneously, it was Lara who was seen as the potential star. Priyanka raced ahead. She has the ability to be naturally charming to people around her. Aeons ago, before she became a star, she was seeing Aseem Merchant. She moved on. People continued to refer to Aseem as PCs boyfriend. Priyanka didn't want Harman Baweja to go through the same humiliation.

Priyanka is the female Shah Rukh Khan, and not only because she doesn't get along with Salman Khan. Like SRK, PC genuinely believes she is in competition only with herself. With success, she has transformed physically. But inside her, she remains the same. I dont know whether she knows this (and I've never told her),but one of her co-stars secretly referred to her as Dark Side of the Moon. He would often make fun of how she looked without makeup.

In real life too, Priyanka would be comfortable with wrinkles and grey hair. She doesn't shy away from peeping into the dark side of the moon. She isnt fearful of ugliness.She has yet to learn how to bitch about her costars. But what the heck! No one is perfect. Not even Priyanka Chopra.

PC the female version of SRK?

Yh and I'm the owner of IF🤪

Sorry if it offends anyone I don't believe that PC is the female version of SRK👎🏼

This seems more like Priyanka's biography than an interview

Bull Shiii. The last paragraph of the article only makes me believe otherwise. Who wrote this article? Someone from IF? 'Fess up. Drona, Chamku, AA, Love Story, WYR were also decided on good judgment? She doesn't bitch...? 😆 Horrible written article. There were not any quotation marks present either to differentiate opinion from quotes. The article used throatily too many times.

"I think women and men see something predatory about me." - Yes, your put on nature only seems to confirm that..ugh, I can't stand the mention of her father anywhere.
