Prahlad Kakkar on Priyanka’s dignity
In conversation with Vickey Lalwani, he revealed, “Priyanka is a doll, she’s a great person to work with. She’s very ambitious, she’s very single-minded, she’s very focused. And she has a certain sense of dignity which she will not allow people to enter. So, her whole, this whole so-called affair, she never made a comment on it. Everybody else was commenting. She never said anything. She held her dignity. And if it was a frivolous relationship, she would have laughed. Obviously, it was serious. So, it was very personal to her. She didn’t want it to be written about, she didn’t want to be talked about it.”Although he didn’t mention who it was, but for years, there has been speculation in Bollywood about her rumored link with Shah Rukh Khan, especially after their films Don and Don, where their on-screen chemistry caught everyone’s attention.
Her bold move to Hollywood
Kakkar also spoke about teh actress’ bold move to leave Bollywood and establish herself in the West. “When the industry decided that she was too old for young heroines, she was the first Indian heroine to move abroad and make it there. I mean, who takes that kind of risk to leave? You are getting big roles, you are getting parts, you are not top of the line anymore, and you decide, f**k it, I am going to restart my career again. How many people can do that?”
Personal and work life
Meanwhile, Priyanka is happily married to Nick Jonas. The couple got hitched in a lavish destination wedding in Rajasthan inpresence of their family and loved ones. The two are also proud and loving parents to their daughter Malti Marie.
On the work front, Priyanka is also set to make her comeback to Indian films with SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29, co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Touted to be an Indiana Jones-style action-adventure, the film is currently in production.
