Priyanka Chopra is thrilled at the response to Fashion. “I haven’t had the time to either mourn or enjoy the fruits when a film releases. I didn’t get the time to mourn the failure of any of my films this year, since the moment one got released, I was into promoting the next, so on and so forth. But something in me died when Love Story 2050 and Drona flopped. I was heartbroken,” Priyanka tells me.
In a heart-to-heart conversation with this writer, Priyanka admits that Fashion has come as a breather. “I stand by my films. And it felt really nice when Fashion opened well. All of us had worked very, very hard on the film and it feels good when people react so warmly. Madhur (Bhandarkar) is the true hero of the film,” she smiles.
Though Priyanka has never courted controversies, there’s talk that Salman Khan and she don’t get along, which explains the inordinate delay in the making of God Tussi Great Ho. “The film got delayed due to various factors. I wasn’t the cause for its delay definitely… As for Salman not wanting to work with me, I have heard this from various people. But he has always been nice to me whenever we’ve met. I have no problems with him,” Priyanka is forthright. What about Akshay Kumar? Will we see Akki and Priyanka teaming up again? After all, they’ve delivered several hits in the past. “I have no issues absolutely,” she adds.
