Priyanka Chopra not starving herself for 'Fashion'
Priyanka Chopra rebuffs rumours that she has lost weight to play a model in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Fashion".
"It's the silliest story I've heard about myself in a long time.... on a par with the one about me being in Sydney with Harman Baweja for the New Year when I was actually shooting an ad in Bangkok," Priyanka told IANS.
"No, nobody has told me to do anything for the role in 'Fashion'. Madhur Bhandarkar and I share great rapport. He didn't ask me to lose weight for the character," she added.
However, Priyanka has worked on herself for her next two roles as well.
"I always like to work on my character. That's why I work on one film at a time. For 'Fashion' I opted for a toned body. I went on a health-conscious diet, though I didn't cut down on my food or anything. And I'll be using the same physique for my film with Karan Johar," she said.
"It's set on the beach of Miami. Imagine two months on the sun and sand and so the toned body would be just what the dietician ordered. But, sorry, I don't get into a bikini for Karan's film," Priyanka was firm.
Karan's film also features Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Priyanka says she doesn't endorse anorexic figures.
"It isn't about getting thin at all. It's just about toning my body. I don't think you need to be reed-thin to be beautiful. I think Indian women look terrible when they try to get anorexic. We (Indian women) are naturally healthy. And by that I don't mean voluptuous," she says.
"But, yes, we've been given a certain kind of figure. We're well proportioned and aesthetically endowed in all the right places. And by getting exceptionally thin, we're going against nature."
Told that her co-star Kangana Ranaut is inherently reed-slim, Priyanka laughed: "Yes, but she loves her food. She just has her own individual body type. Kangana and I share plenty of health tips. We got along really well. I really think she's sweet.
"When Madhur decided to cast Kangana, I was so happy. She really suits her part. So, the other story that really bugs is that we're fighting over scenes in 'Fashion'. On the contrary we've a lot of fun together."

Riya Sen in for a makeover
Bollywood’s sex kitten Riya Sen is looking for a change of image. The gal will soon be seen playing a village belle in ‘Zor Laga Ke Hayya’ wearing a nine yard saree in the film.
Riya said that she had no qualms about playing a de-glamorised role and had in fact agreed instantly on hearing the script, “I always wanted to play a village belle.” Producer Kartikeya Talreja however said, “Riya was a bit reluctant but when we explained to her how it will be a good change for her, she agreed to do the film.”
‘Zor Laga Ke Haiyya’ deals with issues like redevelopment and environment. Riya plays a construction worker and Mahesh Manjrekar plays a contractor who has the hots for Riya. Mithun Chakraborty is also in the film.

SRK - Give way girls, the item boys have come!
The craze for his six-pack abs in ‘Drad-e-disco’ had just started waning, that he has come up again beaming with energy in Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Krazzy 4’. Yes, guessed it right. Shahrukh will be seen in an item number in the movie dancing to the tunes of Rajesh Roshan on an English song titled ‘Break Free’, rendered by Vishal.
Hrithik’s designer in Dhoom 2, Anahita Shroff has worked on Shah Rukh’s look and appearance in the item number. It is both a combination of sophistication and killer instinct. Anahita gave him the ideal look with a white shirt and black trouser, which was the first look and then gave him the combo of red and black. In addition to that, a black designer holster was added in order to portray a classy façade.
Everyone of the movie’s team is all praises for SRK. “Hrithik was to do the song, but due to his knee injury, we were in a dilemma of sorts. I approached Shah Rukh and he very kindly agreed to bail us out,” explains Rakesh. “The song required energy, and that’s what Shah Rukh has in abundance.”
Director Jaideep Sen tells us, “Shah Rukh plays a superstar performing at an award function. The situation required a larger than life stage and a larger than life personality. Shah Rukh has taken it to another level altogether.”
