Actor Priyanka Chopra may be globetrotting,but she always puts her family right on top of her priority list. If there is one person she is really close to, then it is her younger brother, Siddharth.

And Raksha Bandhan is just the occasion to celebrate that bond between them. Talking about it, she says, “Over the past few years, it’s been difficult to celebrate Raksha Bandhan as my brother is away studying and I am travelling because of work. 

But it’s an important festival for us. No matter where we are in the world, we celebrate it.I make it a point to send him a rakhi no matter what. I’m going to miss him a lot today,”she says.

Brother Siddharth, who’s studying a culinary course, pampers his sister when they are together. “Sid is my baby brother and I love him. He's very loving, caring and tries to be a good brother. I always pamper him so he tries to return the favour by making Raksha Bandan special for me every year. He’s a great chef and I love food, so whenever we are together, he cooks me a very special meal,” gushes the actor.

Piggy Chops recently flew down to Switzerland, amidst her choc-a-bloc schedule, to be with her brother on his all important day — his graduation day. 

Sid was pleasantly surprised to see his sister there. Talking about the festival she says, “Though I always send him a rakhi, I only wish he took the trouble to send me a gift in return (laughs). I also have a very large family and many cousin brothers. They are spread all over theworld and I send all of them rakhis every year.”

Priyanka Chopra says her songs will cover heart break and more

Priyanka Chopra is cutting her first international pop album. Not many know that apart from acting, PC has always dreamt of being a singer. Her close friends and family know her secret singing talent and have been pushing her to record an album over the years. Finally she's managed to get some time off and sign on a music label to make her first pop album. Here are excerpts from a conversation with her....

Why did it take so long to make this album ?
I have been terribly busy with films, but over the last six months I have been travelling to the US and meeting producers for my music album. I have always enjoyed singing and it has come naturally to me. But when I did it I wanted to do it right, which is why the delay. It will be a pop album because that's the kind of music I enjoy the most.

Describe the process of recording these songs..
It's a bit similar to that of a film set. When you enter a recording studio there are experts who know the technical stuff and help you out with conceiving a song. I also have people who will be co-writing the songs with me. I am working with some tremendous producers who are the best in the business right now. It's a collaborative process working with some one who gets the melody in your head and brings it down to a vocal booth. I have a super efficient team to work with.

Would you write songs about relationships and heart break that reflect your life...
As an actor I am expert at hiding my emotions because that's what we do. I am used to create different kinds of emotions. My music will be a blend of my personal experiences as well as creating different emotions and experiences through the songs.

Since you and Lady Gaga are on the same label, is there a duet in works ?

It's too early to say, but yes there will be collaborations. Lady Gaga has been very kind and said some really nice things about me. She's absolutely adorable and we would give her a grand welcome when she comes to India!

What do you attribute your enviable position in the industry to?
Luck and being honest and sincere about work has worked for me and helped me reach where I am. You don't really know how your film is going to turn out, but you can give it your best shot and hope the audience loves it. This has been my approach right from the beginning and it's helped me a lot in my journey. All you can do is give the film your everything. I think what has also worked is that I have been able to relate to the characters I have played. Maybe, deep down the audience has connected to these roles and liked them.

Who do you consider your fan base?
I would like to believe it transcends all ages and barriers. I look forward to meeting fans during promotions when I travel across the country. It's humbling to see their love and support. Also I look out for tips that some give me. Like if they don't like something I did or loved a particular role or scene, I try to keep that in mind as a reference point in the future. It's always nice to get feedback from your fans.

What kind of films excite you?

I make an attempt to do different kinds of films. There's no such formula for guaranteed success. Like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara worked because of sheer sincerity.

How important are your fans?
I want to thank them for giving me so much love and acceptance, even with my flaws, be it my diction or anything else. They have stood by me and always believed in my work. I will keep doing work that won't ever let my fans down.

After making a film offer to Mallika Sherawat recently, actor-filmmaker KRK (Kamal Rashid Khan) is nowadays all praise for Priyanka Chopra.

This after Priyanka in an interview listed KRK as one of her favorites for the fifth season of celebrity reality show Bigg Boss.

KRK has profuse praise reserved for Priyanka.'

Reacting to Priyanka’s Bigg Boss wish list which also includes names like Rekha and Karan Johar, KRK says, “I am thankful to Priyanka for including me in her wish list of people she thinks will make Bigg Boss even more entertaining.

Though I must admit that living in Bigg Boss is like living in hell but I thank her for her comments.”

Manoj Kumar, Priyanka Chopra

After a 12-year long hiatus, director Manoj Kumar announced his directorial comeback with Kahani Mein Kahani. And while it has taken some time for the project to materialise, the director is now very eager to get the film rolling. Apparently, his primary task has been to get Priyanka Chopra on-board.

A source told us that the director has been sending feelers to the actress, who has been on vacation with her mother in the US.

When contacted, Kumar confirmed, "I am very close to Priyanka's father Ashok. Since, the role requires simplicity and glamour, Priyanka seems very apt to essay the character."

With Priyanka back in the city, the source informed us that she may soon meet Kumar to discuss the project.

When asked about the film, Kumar refrained from divulging any details and simply said, "The film is not about wigs and costumes. It is very true to my style."

The only piece of information that has been revealed about the film is that Uttam Singh has been brought in to compose the music for Kahani Mein Kahani.

Considering that most of Kumar's films have had a patriotic message attached, the industry is abuzz with speculations that his upcoming film might be a continuation of the trend he started. Kumar's last directorial venture was the 1999 film Jai Hind.

Despite several attempts, Priyanka Chopra remained unavailable for comment.

Are Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra back at pulling an arm each of Madhur Bhandarkar's?

Well, ever since Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pregnancy compelled Madhur to shelve off his ambitious project 'Heroine', there has been talks that Kareena and Priyanka don't mind giving this film a shot.

As soon as Madhur decided to shelve 'Heroine', there were feelers sent out that Kareena and PC may consider the movie after all. If sources are to be believed, Madhur has flown down to meet Kareena with the script!

It can be remembered that Kareena was considered for the role of 'Heroine' previously as well. However, she turned it down. It's only after Ash gave the green signal and later backed out of it because of her pregnancy that Kareena has shown iterest in the project.

"Why not?" we are asked, "After all 'Heroine' has become a high profile movie now with the amount of controversy it was dumped into. It's written about, it's spoken about, whoever does it will onyl benefit from it now!"

Though Priyanka Chopra has categorically stated that she is keen to work with Madhur Bhandarkar again, but 'Heroine' isn't the project they'll work on together, a source close to the actress reveals that she wished Madhur would've gone about it in a better manner, and considered her for the role a long time ago! Well, we wonder what's going to become of Madhur's 'Heroine' after all!
