It’s Friday!’ that gets aired on NDTV Imagine.

Priyanka’s Plastic Surgery

Priyanka Chopra has been the toast of the year for 2008. The actress had two consecutive hits in this year. If the hard hitting Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Fashion projected Priyanka as the serious actress, the extremely commercial Bollywood flick Dostana projected her as the queen of the Box Office. The hits have completely wiped away the negatives of her earlier films like Love Story 2050. No actress had two consecutive hits in this year.

The actress of late has also been looking ravishing and extremely sensuous. If the sexy figure could be attributed to the regular visits to the gym, and a regulated life style, many feel the glow on the face, the better shape of the nose, and the curvier and full lips could be attributed to the knife of the plastic surgeon.

I worked hard for six months to learn those stunts and was specially trained by experts from Hong Kong. Continue reading ‘‘Don’t compare me with Priyanka’’

When you’re a doctor who’s all set to volunteer at a free medical clinic, who do you call to help in the inauguration? Well if you’re Dr. Ashok Chopra, you just ask your daughter, who also happens to be one of the top actresses in the country!

Pretty Priyanka Chopra was on hand at the Kasturi Polyclinic in Andheri, Mumbai on Saturday afternoon where her father Ashok and mother Madhu (both doctors) were part of a three day free medical camp for the underprivileged. We spotted Priyanka at the registration desk and at the ribbon cutting, and she had this to say during her speech: “After the terror attack, it was essential for people to know about organ donation. Many people lost their lives due to a lack of awareness. A number of terror victims await kidney donation while 65 await liver transplantation. Educational programs by various doctors were held to dispel myths.” Continue reading ‘Priyanka Chopra Lends Helping Hand at Medical Camp’
