Priyanka Chopra looked stunning and super slim in a black and red bohemian dress which she paired with black sandals at the launch of the Love Story 2050 Ira Diamond jewellery collection at Vie Lounge Deck at Juhu, Mumbai. She spoke about everything from watches to Harman to Akshay Kumar and Love Story 2050, of course.
Like any other girl, I love jewellery but I don't like flashy jewellery, I prefer choti jewellery. I love watches too. The jewellery collection for the movie has ideas from me, Mr. Baweja and the Ira team and it complements my outfits very well. It is futuristic yet contemporary so people can wear it in 2008 also," said Priyanka as she launched the sparkling collection.
Priyanka has been looking really slim. What's the secret? "I am not feeling too well, just under the weather." So why didn't she skip the event? "I couldn't have done that, it's work. I even shoot when I am not well," says the actress matter-of-factly.
Though she has bid adieu to her long tresses, Priyanka's new short hair do suits her too. "If you tell any Indian girl to colour her kaale ghane lambe baal red, she will think you are crazy. But I had to do it for the movie and it was quite an experience in itself," Priyanka comments.
Pranks, as she is lovingly called by beau Harman and his family, also spoke about her lovely companion in the movie, Boo. "Boo is my best friend. He takes care of me, looks after me, agar main kuch Bhool jati hoon, toh Boo mujhe yaad dilata hain aur mere kapde tayaar karta hain. He is a sweetheart and har ladki ke paas ek Boo hona chahiye."
Though she loves Boo, she is very happy with his soft toy replica as the original one in the movie cost 4 crores and required four men to operate it!
Love Story 2050 revolves around the theme of timeless love. Does she believe in the diktat? "Oh yes, mein pyaar mein bilkul vishwaas karti hoon. Saal, mahine, din beet jaate hain par pyaar nahi badalta, log bhi badal jaate hai par pyaar nahi badalta. So I think in the face of change, true love is what remains constant, like an anchor," says the true blue romantic.
Her pairing with Harman is definitely scaling new heights, with both of them starring in Ashutosh Gowariker's 'What's your Rashee?"." I am glad people think the chemistry between us is good; we are a very fresh pair. My character in 'What's your Rashee' is very exciting. I don't do movies to work with a particular director or actor or banner. It's the project that has to excite me and the result has to be a good film. I have no problems working with Akshay Kumar as well."
Priyanka calls herself the special effects queen of Bollywood. "My previous film Krrish was full of special effects. Don had lots of action, effects and I learnt martial arts for it. Special effects movies take at least one and a half years to make. This year Love Story 2050 has special effects we have not seen in Bollywood so far and Drona is high on action and effects too. So, yes, I am the special effects Queen of Bollywood!" says the stunner with a twinkle in her eyes.
The countdown to Love Story 2050 has begun as it hits theatres worldwide on July 4.
