A beautiful couple of Bollywood Priyanka Chopra and Harman are no longer a couple. It is rumoured that Harman Bawaeja’s parents were not is favour of seeing the two going ahead with the relationship.

The last straw apparently came with the bad box office response that their film received. Launched with a big budget, the film has proved to be the biggest flop of the season.

There were also some small issues like Priyanka refusing to do any kissing scene with Harman Baweja in the film. Priyanka has vowed never to do kissing on screen, and despite the fact that there was a kissing sequence in the story, it was to be dropped due to Priyanka summarily rejecting it.

It was recently reported in the news that Kareena Kapoor publicly announced that she was glad that Love Story 2050 didn’t do so well and was almost gloating. The reason being that she had in fact first been offered Priyanka Chopra’s role in the movie, but wasn’t too keen on the script and so had asked Mr Baweja to make a few minor changes but he stood his ground like a true director.

Anyway as we know the audience is pretty much divided with the movie, while some have suggested that the special effects and the efforts of the newcomer Harman Baweja are almost marvellous, others have resorted to saying that there are more special effects than substance in the movie. But if truth be told then does Kareena have any right to be so smug? Continue reading ‘Bebo settles her score with Priyanka’

Priyanka Chopra, who plays a supermodel in Madhur Bhandarkar’s forthcoming film, says the movie is like a trip down memory lane for her. The film, Fashion, is about India’s fashion circuit and blatantly shows its positives and negatives, the high life as well as the drug scene.

“For me the film is like a nostalgia trip. Some portions of the plot are similar to my own life story. It narrates the story of a girl from a small town who makes it really big in the fashion circuit. If you look at my life, it’s just the same. I have worked really hard to reach where I have,” Priyanka told After Hrs. Continue reading ‘Down memory lane for Priyanka Chopra’

Incidentally, Priyanka Chopra got herself trained in martial arts for Drona, a film which she is doing with Abhishek Bachchan. A source from the film unit says, “Priyanka was informed by someone on the set that Arjan Bajwa is a Taekwondo expert.

She takes special interest in knowing various forms of martial arts. During the shot breaks, they would talk about how she did her own stunts in the film, and how Arjan practices Taekwondo on a regular basis.”

Priyanka was not aware of the fact that Taekwondo is a blend of Shotokan Karate with other Chinese and Korean martial arts. But finally, she got all information from Arjan. So now we won’t be surprised if we see Arjan and Priyanka in a martial arts film!
