Priyanka Chopra got all open while in a talk with a film magazine. The actress spoke her heart out, taking about how she feels for SRK, issues concerning star wives, etc.

There were news previously this year about how insecure a few star wives were about their husband working with Priyanka Chopra. So when Priyanka was asked about it, she told, “If an actor doesn’t want to work with me, he won’t. I don’t want to get into whether he won’t because his wife or director has warned him against it or he himself is averse to it.”

Priyanka was very clear about herself, adding that she made it so far in her film career without any Godfather in the industry and that she is a self made girl.

She also told that if people have issues with whatever, it’s their problem and not her, so she doesn’t really care much.

The bitter experience that she had with the rumors about her link-up with SRK made her open up limited about him. “Definitely. Now I don’t talk about him at all. I’ve always respected, emulated and idolised him but I don’t like to talk about it anymore,” tells the actress.

However, Priyanka still believes that Shahrukh is as heart warming as ever and that he hasn’t changed a bit, and her equation with him is still the same.

Small movies bigger than Rs.100 crore films: Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor,

Priyanka Chopra's "Don 2: The King Is Back" and "Agneepath" managed to mint over Rs.100 crore ($22 million) at the box office, but she hails the small budget wonders that have rocked the industry in current times.

"I'm happy that two films of mine - 'Don 2' and 'Agneepath' saw that figure (Rs.100 crore) but there have been a lot of small films as well which, according to ratio, have been bigger hits than most Rs.100 crore films - be it 'The Dirty Picture' or 'Kahaani', 'Ishaqzaade' or 'Vicky Donor'," Priyanka told here.

Asked if her upcoming movie "Teri Meri Kahaani" will be able to cross the big figure, she told, "It doesn't mean that only a film that makes Rs.100 crore is a hit. We just hope people like our film and the numbers will follow."

Priyanka spoke on the sidelines of a special screening of "Teri Meri Kahaani", directed by Kunal Kohli.

The release of the film clashes with Anurag Kashyap's "Gangs Of Wasseypur" Friday, but its male lead Shahid Kapoor tells it's not a reason to get worried.

"There's enough place for two movies, our films are very different. So I don't think such issues should be there. I wish them all the best and hope their film also does very well," told Shahid.

Shahid also hopes the viewers appreciate his pairing with Priyanka once again after "Kaminey".

"People really liked us in 'Kaminey' even though we had just eight scenes together and here we have 70 scenes together. So really looking forward to see how audience reacts to it," the 31-year-old told.

The Beautiful Priyanka Chopra who sorted out all her differences she had with Gauri Khan, wife of SRK, is now trying to patch up with Bipasha Basu ironing out her differences with her. She started on with her mission when she started speaking with the dusky beauty at Karan Johar's 40th birthday party. Priyanka divided her time smartly between Bipasha and the powerful circle of star wives and social swans, who we hear had ostracized her for a while due to her over-friendly equation with SRK.

Priyanka's mission raised many eye brows among Bollywood film circles as to what could be her reason in trying to patch up with her rivals. Many feel that her relationship with SRK is important and so is trying to please all.

Even Bipasha wants to get over their differences. She said so much so about their relationship tweeting on micro blogging site telling, "Everyone should know u r my most favourite actress! Love success and riches all for u always!" At this rate, we are confident Priyanka will end up being friends with nearly every B-town Celebes. Currently Priyanka is busy taking her Telugu learning lessons from her co star Ram Charan Tej with whom she is sharing screen presence in Zanjeer remake.

Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra

In his forthcoming film Teri Meri Kahaani, in the song “Uff”, director Kunal Kohli has tried to ape late filmmaker Vijay Anand’s style.

“One of the best directors of the 1960 era was Vijay Anand and I have tried to shoot the song like a tribute to him. Shot it like the way he used to shoot the songs, like in ‘Teesri Manzil’ and films like that,” said Kunal Kohli.

“So I have given it that flavour of music and the shooting style as if it’s a Vijay Anand song,” he added.

“The way he (Sonu) has sung it, I think you’ve just got to hear it to believe it. I feel that in whichever film Sonu or Sunidhi sing for me, that film is complete for me,” Wajid said.

Sexy Priyanka is busy making friends among all Bollywood celebrities and their family members. She already has Mubina Rattonsey (daughter-in-law of producer Farouq Rattonsey) and now is in close bond with Arpita Khan, younger sister of Salman Khan. For the starters Priyanka dressed up at Mubina's house before going to Karan Johar's birthday party on May 25. A close aide tells "Arpita and PC get along well. They were seen bonding at KJo's birthday bash. Both are in their 20s and have a lot of common interests."

Some of them who are observing Priyanka tells “She is trying to get into Salman's camp and as Salman does anything for his loving sister, she is getting closer to her. Entire Bollywood is aware that Priyanka did have a fabulous equation with Sallu during the making of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. She also went on to do God Tussi Great Ho with Salman and his brother Sohail. However, later, the actor reportedly fell out with these Khans when she refused a role opposite Sohail in Prem Soni's Main Aurr Mrs Khanna.”

Post 2009, Salman's box office stature peaked, and he had the Kareena's and Katrina's vying for his attention onscreen. So PC was relegated to the background, at least in this Khan's scheme of things. But sometime ago, PC did extend the olive branch through Arpita, and our source tells, "For a while now, PC and Arpita have been bonding. She may even bag a film with Salman soon." Many predict Priyanka and Salman's romance on silver screen soon.

Bhanvari Devi film gets a controversial name called 'B..ch'!

Bollywood is not new for controversies or controversial titles. Now a movie made on life of Bhanvari Devi is titled 'B..ch'. Confidently it is going to attract the ire of the censor board. Nikhil Tonk who is the producer for the film has registered this name as the title for the film. He is on the verge of finalizing actor for the movie. The name is sure to create as much controversy as the life of the nurse who allegedly blackmailed Rajasthan politicians over their sexual misbehavior.

Film makers had meetings with Kangna Ranaut, Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu for the role, though Bipasha and Kangana's reps have denied being approached for the film. tells Tonk, "The title is not a judgement on Bhanwari Devi's character, but merely a reflection on how society perceived her. We've got the title registered with the producers' association, and I don't think we'll face any trouble. We want to start shooting next month."

Though Nikhil Tonk is claiming the tile is cleared by Censor Board, Censor Board CEO Pankaja Thakur stresses that no title can get clearance before the movie is submitted for certification. "Once the film is submitted for certification, we judge the title for its appropriateness. We recently received a film with the word "balls" in the title. When we reviewed the movie, we found that it had nothing to do with what we were assuming, so we cleared it. But in this case, if the title is B**ch - and we all know it can mean nothing else - it'll probably not get clearance. However, we'll wait for the movie to come to us.

In most cases, we look at the appropriateness of cuss words used. Bollywood has got notorious reputation of making films titled Kaminey Yeh Saali Zindagi Lafangey Parindey 3 Idiots Marega Saala Rascals Ghanchakkar Gandu.
