Why Is Everyone Writting Off Priyanka Chopra?

Though actress Priyanka Chopra is an A-Lister in Bollywood, it looks like she has been running into major problems with either her male co-stars or their wives! Priyanka Chopra is suddenly facing a tough time. Is someone trying very hard to sabotage her image or is Priyanka guilty of gambling with her own career?

It was recently reported that Priyanka was not invited for her own movie AGNEEPATH’s success party, organized by the Roshans. It is said that her proximity to SRK was the cause for Suzanne, who is BFF to Gauri Khan, for not inviting the actress. It is also said that Shahid’s relationship with Priyanka soured because of her ‘friendship’ with SRK. Zoom investigated further, that Twinkle Khanna too, stopped hubby Akshay from signing any movies with Priyanka, after a ‘link up’ rumour.

Apparently, Priyanka is already in Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan’s bad books; SaifAli Khan will not work with her because Kareena doesn’t like her. All she has now is the ‘Mamu – Bhanja’ – Aamir and Imran Khan jodi left, but question is kya voh Priyanka ke ‘Hero’ banna chahenge?

The Dabangg star Salman Khanwasn’t able to attend the wedding of Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza, but the actor has planned something sweet for the newlyweds. It’s heard that the actor has gifted a surprise honeymoon package to Ritesh-Genelia.

May be Salman Khan, who is in Cuba shooting for Kabir Khan’s filmEk Tha Tiger, came to know that the couple hasn’t gone for honeymoon and are stuck with the promotions of Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya. What could be a better gift for Ritesh-Genelia as they haven’t planned a honeymoon yet?

For now, the cute couple is going places for the promotion of their film Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya which will release on February 24. Talks are also on with Genelia to work in the Masti sequel opposite her husband Ritesh. Director Indra Kumar and producer Ashok Thakeria are very keen to star this cute couple in the sequel.

Saif Is Excited About The Action Flicks Like ‘Agent Vinod’

Despite rumours surrounding his impending marriage making the rounds way too often, SaifAli Khan has decided to stay away from romance, at least on screen. The actor now believes that he is too old to be running around trees and it’s high time he ‘grows up.’ His latest spy-thriller Agent Vinod being the first move towards becoming more ‘macho’ than Saif has ever been known for.

He says, “Well I don’t know if action’s been my forte, but it’s something that is interesting me at this point in time. Films like Agent Vinod and Race 2 excite me more than say a Love Aaj Kal. While I’m respective and appreciative of the roles that have given me the success and credibility, at this age I think I would like to do something more strong and mature.”

Considering it’s an image that’s working like magic for his fellow Khans, it’s no surprise that Saif’s keen on treading the same path. However, for the actor who has grown up on Clint Eastwood and Paul Newman action thrillers, Bollywood films are still too romanticised to depict reality.

He adds, “In America they like complicated situations, grey characters, real issues. For us, even today, we love heroes. For example, Sriram’s (Raghavan) last film with me, Ek Haseena Thi had some level of grit and realism to it. But it still wasn’t as much compared to international films. I don’t think we are particularly honest about portraying reality in our films and they have left us behind in that space.”
