Juhi Chawla takes dig at Priyanka Chopra

The usually quiet and charming Juhi Chawla is not known for a cynical outburst. However, the Bollywood's ever smiling lady's recent comment on a hoarding showing actress Priyanka Chopra in a revealing outfit has got everyone in tinsel town talking.

Juhi posted her reaction on micro blogging site Twitter about a Screen Awards hoarding in Mumbai that shows Priyanka in a tiny blouse. Disapproving Priyanka's dress, she said Priyanka's dress was just a marketing gimmick.

"Driving to Juhu now... on the way is a huge Screen Awards hoarding ... with a pouting Priyanka... in the tiniest of blouses ... please someone tell why does a respected Screen Award for excellence in cinema need such a marketing gimmick???," Juhi tweeted.

But people wondered why this outburst. After all, Juhi has been around for long enough to know what sells in the Hindi film industry. Priyanka posing seductively in a skimpy outfit is a perfect example of sexy selling Bollywood.

However, it seems to be a case of being more than what meets the eye. Juhi has been SRK's favourite co-star, friend and sometimes even business partner. It is also known that Priyanka is on SRK's new favourites list.

So, is it King Khan's closeness to Piggy Chops that has got to Juhi? Or it could be a plain case of Juhi missing the old days of good clean shows when sexy was not in and only SRK sold in Bollywood

Juhi Chawla takes dig at Priyanka Chopra for her skimpy dress on hoarding

Not sure if this has been posted before or not, but I think the media has taken the tweet in a totally different direction.

Juhi's intention was not to take a dig at Piggy as the article states. It had more or less to do with the cheap marketing trick by the producers. The tweet centered around the skimpy clothes to elaborate the advertisement, not around who wore it as such. Yes, eventually Priyanka got dragged in, cuz she's the one wearing it.

I don't think there was anything wrong in Juhi posing her opinion about the cheap marketing gimmik. Weird that it had to be Piggy eventually on the receiving end.

Just my two cents worth.

oh oh...BURN!😲

Guys, the question is, should respectable stars like Juhi, SRK, Aamir, etc come up with such tweets that may induce hatred for them by the fans or viewers, or even silent spectators?

I think this madness should stop. I am a die-hard Juhi fan, but I feel bigger stars should refrain from these kind of tweets or statements.

There was a time when people took pride in learning about their favorite stars through magazines like FF, Stardust, local Hindi patrikas, etc. Stars, in turn, salvaged their respect through these fan-based antics. They would also feel excited to know that fans are get anxious to know about their standing in the industry, new projects, endorsements, etc.

But in this day and age of the Internet, where everything is so common, I think the stars have lost their respect factor and their zest to excel. Everything has become commercialized these days.

Until 2005 or so, things still were under wraps, although stars would still pass negative or unappealing statements against each other, once in a while. But post-2005/6, things changed. However, as of now, I don't think stars can boast of such a pride. They have become like one of us. Class, for them, has become a privilege they can't handle anymore.

I feel they should quit their antics, and just leave this nonsense to the media. Tweeting won't get them any farther then they can get.
