Last month, when Priyanka Chopra returned from US, she was seen sporting a new tattoo on her forearm that read, 'Daddy's lil girl'. Chopra has always been known to be extremely close to her father, Ashok Chopra, and so, she got herself inked with that line.
Of late, Priyanka has been promoting her upcoming film Barfi!, directed by Anurag Basu, along with her co-star Ranbir Kapoor. Noticing Priyanka's tattoo, Ranbir too decided to haves some fun, all in good spirit. While promoting their film in London a couple of days back, Ranbir got hold of a pen and wrote, 'Mommys Big Boy', expressing his love for mother Neetu Singh, on his forearm just like Chopra.
The duo then happily posed with their respective forearms, much to the photographer's delight. Having acted together in Anjaana Anjaani, they are set to pair up in Barfi!. The film, also starring Ileana D'Cruz, is set to release on September 14.
After undergoing a makeover for her upcoming film Barfi!, actress Priyanka Chopra felt that her hair style ended up looking like Sachin Tendulkar's.
In Anurag Basu's next film, where Priyanka Chopra plays an autistic young woman named Jhilmil, she had been given a look which is quite different from her usual self. However, once the hair was re-done, the actress ended up looking exactly like Sachin.
Anurag was quoted saying that for the preparation, Priyanka had to meet several autistic kids and that it wasn't pre-planned to make her hair style look like Sachin's. He quipped that it was co-incidental and Priyanka jokingly said, 'Aila, I look like Sachin!' after looking at herself in the mirror.
Barfi!, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz, releases on September 14.
After a busy schedule of working on her international music debut, actress Priyanka Chopra is off to London to promote her upcoming film Barfi!.
The 30-year-old actress tweeted, "London bound! So excited about promoting Barfi! The film and my single comes the same time, and such different vibes to both! Very grateful."
In Barfi!, Priyanka Chopra plays an autistic girl alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Also, she will be making her debut as a singer with the song 'In my city', featuring Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame. The single will be launched on September 13 as a part of 'Thursday Night Kickoff', a pre-game show of NFL Network's Thursday Night Football.
While Barfi! is set to release on September 14, the song and the video will be released officially later this year.
Though there have been many rumours over the years about actress Priyanka Chopra undergoing surgery to enhance her facial features (there were reports about a lip job, amongst other things), Piggy Chops, as she is fondly known, recently declared that she has never undergone cosmetic surgery.
In a recent interview, Priyanka was quoted saying that she never felt the need for any enhancement surgery. Though she said that she is not against plastic surgery as such if women want to improve their looks, she added that she personally has never gone under the knife and that it hurts when people judge or crucify her on imaginary counts.
Priyanka, who was last seen playing Hrithik Roshan's love interest in revenge drama Agneepath, will be once more paired opposite the actor in the latter's super-hero flick Krrish 3.

Madhur Bhandarkar's critically-acclaimed films Chandni Bar and Fashion are going to be showcased at the Indian Film Festival (IFF), to be held in Berlin from August 15 to August 19. Chandni Bar, starring Tabu, revolved around the gritty life of bar girls and the Mumbai underworld, while Fashion, starring Priyanka Chopra, dealt with the murky underbelly of the fashion world.
Bhandarkar says, “I am humbled by the love and support they are showing towards me. I am glad that my films have made a special slot for people around the world. I am looking forward to be there for the festival with two of my most loved films - Chandni Bar and Fashion."
The festival has dedicated a section called "Leading The New Wave" to the director, who is known for making hard-hitting and realistic cinema.
In Berlin, the director will also participate in an intense dialogue with his fans and also release the new Promo cut of the Kareena Kapoor starrer Heroine. Talking about the section, Festival's Chief Executive Officer, Alexandra Ccahuana Tito says, "I have seen almost every film of Madhur Bhandarkar and I always wondered why Germany doesn't get to see his work, so at IFF Berlin, we took this opportunity to screen two of his remarkable films, Chandni Bar and Fashion. I am sure Madhur and Priyanka Chopra's fans in Germany would be delighted with this."
A few days ago, there had been a major buzz about the news that actress Priyanka Chopra, who will be seen playing the role of an autistic girl in Anurag Basu's Barfi!, will also be lending her voice for a song in the film.
However, sources now claim that Piggy Chops, as she is fondly known, would not be able to do so as she is bound by a contract related to her debut international music album, which says that she cannot lend her voice to any project. It seems that composer Pritam Chakraborty was quite keen on having Priyanka sing a song in the movie, but after Pritam approached Chopra, she politely refused to do so, claiming that she is bound by the contract.
Sources also claim that the song is supposed to be recorded by this weekend and that Pritam is working towards roping in a fresh singer for the song as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Priyanka's music album, which contains ten pop songs, is expected to release worldwide by next year.
Directed by Anurag Basu, Barfi! stars Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra alongwith South actress Ileana D'Cruz and is slated to release on September 14 this year.
t is a well-known fact that actress Priyanka Chopra is quite close to her father Ashok Chopra and recently, the actress proved it once and for all that her father is the most important man in her life. Piggy Chops, as she is fondly known, was recently spotted with a tattoo on her right wrist, which read 'Daddy's Li’ll Girl'.
Shutterbugs managed to click the actress with her very first tattoo when the Barfi! babe landed at Mumbai airport after returning from Malibu, where she had gone to shoot for and record her music album.
Priyanka Chopra will be next seen playing the role of an autistic girl in Anurag Basu’s Barfi!, which will also have Ranbir Kapoor playing the role of a deaf-mute young man named Murphy.
Priyanka Chopra, who was known to tweet quite extensively, was apparently hurt when a few of her followers made nasty remarks.
A couple of days back, the actress posted, "Sorry i disappeared.I was very hurt by a few haters who i seem to expose myself to by tweeting..but then i also realised how much luv most of u have shown me..So here I am..cautious..but real..love to all who share love..cause thats all I'm here to do..for anyone else..c ya!"
The actress is currently shooting Zanjeer Remake with Ram Charan Teja.
While Priyanka Chopra gets ready for the release of her Barfi!, there are old skeletons coming out of her cupboard. One of her long delayed films has gone for a title change and is now arriving as Deewana Main Deewana. The film stars, hold your breath, Govinda in the lead. Incidentally, this is the fourth title change for this near-decade old film.
"Yes, the film was earlier titled Ek Hasina Ek Deewana. After that it was called Bekasoor. Then a couple of years back it came quite close to release with the title Don't Worry. Now when the makers are actually serious about releasing it and have also released a few songs on the music channels, it is with a new name Deewana Main Deewana'", informs our source.
This is a film that Priyanka had signed when Govinda was a reigning star and she was fresh out of her Miss World stint. While she had signed The Hero and Andaaz with other two superstars Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar respectively, even Govinda was in her wish-list. This is when director K.C. Bokadia approached her for Ek Hasina Ek Deewana and PC was game for it.
"Of course the film wasn't the grandest of setups for Priyanka but guess she may have found the unusual pairing to be exciting enough", comments an observer, "Govinda too was hunting for a new pairing post Karisma Kapoor and together they must have felt that a masala fare like this would fetch them a safe outing and also pave way for a new jodi."
However, as luck would have had it, the film was completed but never saw the light of the day. Now even though the makers feel that it may be a good idea to finally unleash the film, we doubt if either Priyanka or Govinda would indeed be willing to reveal much about it.
A former beauty queen turned actress, Priyanka Chopra is known today for being one of the most talented actresses of Bollywood. The daughter of physicians, Piggy Chops, as she is popularly known, was crowned the Miss World in 2000 and made her film debut with a South flick Thamizan in 2002. Following this, the leggy actress was seen in The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy opposite Sunny Deol and Andaaz opposite Akshay Kumar.
Over the years, Priyanka Chopra has acted in many films and also experimented with roles in movies like Aitraaz, where she played a negative character. Chopra's performance in the movie, which was a desi adaptation of Demi Moore-Michael Douglas starrer Disclosure, won her rave reviews and Chopra came to be known as an actress who was not averse to taking risks as far as roles were concerned.
Chopra's another hit movie was Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, in which she played the role of a naive girl, who is transformed into a super-model. Her performance won her many awards for Best Actress and the actress also received the National Award for the role.
In 7 Khoon Maaf too, Priyanka Chopra experimented a lot with her character and her look and was once again lauded for her courage and determination. Priyanka Chopra will be next seen playing the role of an autistic girl in Anurag Basu's Barfi!, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor.
Apart from acting, Priyanka is a trained Western classical singer and is gearing up to release her first international music album.
On the day of her birthday, we wish the pretty Priyanka a prosperous and successful career.
Priyanka Chopra has had a very busy year so far. She has been working in and promoting big-ticket films such as Don 2, Agneepath and Teri Meri Kahaani. She has also been busy cutting her first international music album. Her upcoming film is the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Barfi!.
Also, she will soon start working on the upcoming two-month schedule with Hrithik Roshan for Krrish 3. She wants to take some time off now. Hence, after wrapping up some work in Spain, she is off to Ibiza. Sources claim that she will take this week-long trip to wind up.
