Was being pushed into a corner": Priyanka on her exit from Bollywood - Page 13

PC suddenly stopped getting work with big banners and big stars after reports of that fling began to do rounds.

She was left to work with Shahid, Ranbir, Ranveer or do woman oriented offbeat films. This is when she tried her hand at music and going abroad.

Press had labeled her a man eater and hinted how star wives are afraid of her and labeled her a vixen and someone ready to anything for ambition. Twinkle and Gauri were especially reported to be wary of her Twinkle putting her foot down and ensuring Akshay never worked with PC again.

It is her global achievements and surprise success of Fashion, her surprise show stealer act in Bajirao Mastani makes people think she has had decent career in BW and forget the boycott and how suddenly big brands and big banners dropped her in early 2010s.

Success and changing paths later, winning National awards and making it to global power lists, erased that phase in public memory it seems. Kudos to PC for that.

I agree with everything, except this.

Left out to work with Hrithik and younger actors like .....Shahid, Ranbir and Ranveer... who were literally the promising younger stars at that time does not mean she was boycotted;

She had Pyar Impossbile with YRF in 2010, and had Anjana Anjaani in 2010 with Ranbir, the most promising young star at that time.

She worked with SRK in Don 2 in 2011, as the main lead.

She had Agneepath with Dharma opposite Hrithik in 2012, as the female lead.

She worked in Kunal Kohli's film in 2012 opposite Shahid.

She worked with Ranbir again in Barfi! in 2012 for which both won awards too.

She worked again with Hrithik in Krrish 3 in 2013.

SLB gave her a guest appearance in Ram Leela in 2013 and then signed her for Bajirao Mastani in 2015.

She had Gunday with YRF in 2014, with younger Ranveer and Arjun. Again main lead.

She worked with Zoya Akhtar in 2015 and had a significant role in Dil Dhadake Do. Again main lead in the ensemble cast.

Not to mention, PC was welcomed and performed at multiple award functions during this phase. She even co-hosted multiple functions with the likes of SRK and Ranbir.

"Deepika, Kareena, Katrina and Priyanka" .... KJO literally used these 4 in his rapid fire for Best Actress for 3 seasons straight.

In what world, is this a BOYCOTT by the industry???

So for you, women like Gauri and Jaya are victors for keeping a man despite all his cheating and affairs and ensuring mistress is atleast not married officially or publicly to their husbands?

PC's sidelining began post 2013. Ranveer was having flop phase when he worked with PC in Gunday and Bajirao was a surprise success which saved his career.

Media was full of articles calling her woman who every star wife was afraid of.

She was not sidelined in 2012 but after reports of affair with SRK picked steam post Don 2.

Anushka was main lead in Dil ko dhadakne do. PC was not. She was paired opposite Rahul. Made sister of Ranveer. Deepika was main lead of Bajirao. PC was supporting role. She stole the show purely on basis of acting.

Being given side roles and media hounding her and losing big ads was sort of low phase and big stars like Akshay, Khans, HR were not really working with her post 2013.

Bad experiences can make anyone cynical.

She’s responsible for some of these herself. So my sympathy goes by the wayside

An I didn’t even get into the anti Islamic rants she’s had lol

She rants against Muslims and so do most bitter ones like Sonu Nigam, Abhijeet as they seem to deflect anger with Muslim origin producers and actors on Muslims in general. Kangana's bad experience with Javed Akhtar for eg, is probably a reason why she rants against Muslims. Sonu and Abhijeet felt they were denied work in Khan films or Pakistani singers were given work. So they blame Muslims. She targets Punjabis also due to most of industry lot being Punjabis.

Kangana rants against nepotism also because she suffered at hands of mostly filmi families and star kids. Otherwise I doubt she is against nepotism or dynasties.

I agree a lot of her issues are self invited and error of judgement as a young newbie clueless about Mumbai and BW.

Gunday came 3 months after Ram Leela. A super hit

Ranveer was giving average films once upon a time except when he worked with Deepika.

Credit was given more to Deepika and jodi with her. Than to him. He was being labeled a washout until he proved his mettle further with Bajirao, Padmavat and stole thunder from others' nose and gave hit like Simmba without Deepika.

This is wrong. Dil Dhadakne Do was always the story of the core four. (the father, the mother, the brother, the sister)

The siblings were always going to be the main focus. That's why Zoya had Kareena and Ranbir in mind.

Anushka had the most thankless role, with least screen-time. Event some supporting cast had more significant role than Anushka.

I am not denying the dirty politics of Bollywood btw. It exists, and PC may have been a victim of it.

It's just hard to believe that she got written-off post 2013 because she had become quite big herself by then. Her career became a base for her cousin Parineeti's career too. When her father passed away in 2013 ,many people from the fraternity attended.

Promotion of Dil ko was dominated by Anushka.

Not PC.

People thought it was a Ranveer and Anushka film like BBB.

Anyway there was subtle attempt to sideline her for sure with media stories against her and most senior biggies like Khans, Akki, Ajay, HR not working anymore with her post 2013 or so.

Anyone will attend funeral for courtesy. People will do it for Kangana too. That does not count.
