The writer has posted comments on this articleTNN | Dec 30, 2011, 12.00AM ISTPriyanka Chopra talks about movies, masti and romance with Madhureeta Mukherjee
Five years since Don, the junglee billi has only gotten wilder, hotter and bolder. In this candid chat, Priyanka tells all about her plans to chase bad boys... and take them home. Read on...
Were you successful at catching Don this time around?
Well, Roma is feistier this time around. She's angry! But Don ko pakadna namumkin hai. You can get really close to him, but he vanishes in thin air.
SRK is always on-the-go, how do you manage to keep up?
We traveled so much for the film because we want people to know about it; it's definitely better than the first Don. Yes, SRK has high-energy, but I have amazing energy too.
We believe you like bad boys...
This quote of mine is going to go down in history. Yes, I like bad boys, and I like to take them home to my mom. She also likes bad boys... Ha, ha, ha...
You love your stunts and you love your action. Quite a different genre for an A-list actress...
You do films that you like. I love dabbling in different genres, and I like being good at different genres of cinema.
We haven't seen you in an out-an-out item song yet...
I did Desi Girl, but that was in my own film. I don't think songs in your own films should count as 'item songs'. But I would love to do a song in someone else's film.
It's all about 'Girl-power' nowadays. Heroines are turning 'heroes' in films...
I think it's amazing that women-oriented films are working. Be it Vidya in The Dirty Picture, Rani in NOKJ, Katrina in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan or Saat Khoon Maaf. I think Fashion brought back the trend. I went against all odds with that one.
How's the music coming along?
It's been a fabulous experience. I lived, breathed and ate music in USA. I'm trying something so new and I hope it's something that makes our country proud.
Your song lyrics have apparently said a lot about your life...
Ha, ha... Not a lot, but I certainly took a second look at the lyrics and thought that it was much more than I'd usually say about myself. At the end of the day, the songs are supposed to by my expressions...
Priyanka ko pataana kitna mushkil hai?
Priyanka ko pataana bhi namumkin hai! I'm turned off by romantic gestures and flowers and chocolates. I have very high standards.
So what are these high standards that the guys need to achieve?
I don't like guys who are conventional. I'm an achiever; he has to be an achiever. I admire drive, I admire ambition. I like a guy who keeps my on my toes.
But are you a romantic at heart?
Tremendously. I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that. I cry during romantic scenes, books... the works.
Give us a quick Don sign-off line...
Kaun kehta hai ki chamatkaar nahi hote? Kabhi mujhe kareeb se dekha hai?
