Priyanka to move with Parents

By Subhash K Jha

Priyanka Chopra's new home may not be ready. Time has been at a low premium. But she continues to take interest in its construction and design very carefully. In fact one reason why she hasn't signed any films is because she could never find the time to get her new place ready.

"And now it's now or never," laughs Priyanka. "It will be ready during Diwali. It will be two connecting flats, just like it was earlier on. My family would be staying in one flat while I'd be staying in the other. They've always given me my privacy. I'd never be comfortable without my parents by my side."

Hrithik's wife Susanne is doing up her two new flats. "It's the first time I'm moving into a new place ever since I moved into Bombay. And so far I've had no opportunity to do up my place the way I always wanted to. If you come to my house at the moment you'll see it's very functional."

But now comes Priyanka's dream house. "Having a friend to do the interiors helps a lot. Susanne and I are doing it up the way I had always visualized my home. My parents will be just a door away. I always want my life to be this way. With my family at a place where I can reach out and touch them."
