Catfights no laughing matter for Priyanka Chopra
IANS NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 23, 2013 | UPDATED 19:37 IST
For many, talk about catfights on film sets makes great fodder for gossip, but for actress Priyanka Chopra, who has been facing a volley of questions about her camaraderie with her "Krrish 3" co-star Kangana Ranaut, it's no laughing matter.
"It really upsets me how people reduce women's stature in a movie that the focus only remains on how she fought with her female co-star," Priyanka said on Wednesday in response to a question about a catfight.
"Nobody asks the men that. Nobody says how Hrithik (Roshan) or Vivek (Oberoi) would have fought. A lot of people find it funny and laugh about it, but I take it very seriously," added the actress, who is working with Kangana for the second time after "Fashion".
She claims they gel well.
"Kangana and I have worked in the past on a film ('Fashion'), which I believe has been a turning point in our respective careers. We get along very well."
Kangana, who was present at the press conference for the promotion of "Krrish 3" here, said: "I agree with Priyanka. We are here, promoting the film together and there is no problem between us. We are not kids that we will fight on sets."
The press conference was also addressed by filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi. Their superhero movie releases Nov 1.
