Priyanka Chopra
On December 12, nine years after she picked up her own crown, PC will be on the beauty pageant podium in Johannesburg as a judge for the final round of this year's Miss World contest. “When Julia Morley, who is in charge of the beauty pageant, invited me to be a judge, I was ecstatic.
There I was a teenager all those years ago, nervous as a help on the same platform. Now I'm going in a totally different capacity,” said Priyanka. The actress is happy she could work her busy shooting schedules around to accommodate this contest, which she considers a very prestigious one.
Back home, too, Priyanka is in a very happy place. Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and she are the top three Bollywood beauties who wield a certain power over the box office. Naturally, the best projects are divided between them. “This was a good year,” said the actress, “and hopefully 2010 will be as good if not better.”
She happily starts the year with Pyaar Impossible in January while also shooting with hotshot Ranbir Kapoor for Sajid Nadiadwala's Anjaana Anjaani and with Bollywood supremo Shah Rukh Khan for Farhan Akhtar's Don-2. “Besides these films, I'm scheduled to do a film with my Kaminey director Vishal Bharadwaj,” said the dusky beauty.
The low point of 2009 was when she cried herself to sleep after Ashutosh Gowarikar's What's Your Rashee came unstuck at the box office. “When you put blood, sweat and tears into a project and it doesn't fetch you the kind of box office you hoped for, it hurts,” Priyanka admitted.
But she did not rise to the bait when asked what she feels about co-star and ‘ex' Harman Baweja making his feelings public for her long after they had split. Guess when things are looking up for her the way they are right now, she has every reason to be gracious.
