Priyanka Chopra was a geek in her adolescence

Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra is being wooed by the likes of British actor
Gerard Butler and almost all the eligible men on screen which include Bollywood hottie Shahid Kapoor, Uday Chopra and also Hurman Baweja.

The actress says that there was a time when she was a complete nerd. , “When I was in the eighth standard in school in the US, when I was a complete geek”, Priyanka says.

As she tells, she did not only look awkward in her adolescence but also lacked confidence badly.

The actress recalls that she was infatuated to a guy in his class but she could not even speak to him normally, leave alone expressing her feelings for him.

And on the other side is Uday Chopra, shooting with her for Pyaar Impossible playing a geek in the film and is completely flattered by her professionalism.

‘Will you marry me,’ an infatuated Gerard Butler asks Priyanka Chopra

Ever since Scottish actor Gerard Butler’s visited India and met B-town chick Priyanka Chopra, the two have been courting all sorts of controversies. With Priyanka hosting a party in honour of Gerard at her new pad - Raj Classic in Versova on Thursday, the scuttlebutt hardly seems to die down! 

It is believed that the party was thrown under the pretext of a housewarming celebration, which the petite actress had been delaying for months. News has it that the party went on till the wee hours of morning. According to an anonymous guest present at the party, “Of course the party was for Gerard who was completely besotted by Priyanka Chopra and kept proposing to her every half hour. It's become a standing joke rather a ‘kneeling’ joke between them. ‘Will you marry me?’ he knelt and said every half hour while she would burst into laughter. She’s clearly not interested on being Mrs Butler.” 

News has it that Butler is not in India to reconnoiter new film locations but to travel the country with his male acquaintances. According to a close source, “He’s already been to the Taj Mahal and all the other tourist places. He leaves India early next week. Meeting and spending time with Priyanka was definitely a part of Gerard’s plan. So Priyanka combined the long-postponed housewarming with Gerard’s presence.” 

The select guest list at Priyanka’s star-studded party included Shah Rukh and Gauri, Hrithik and Sussane, Karan Johar, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor, Avantika and Imran Khan, Shrish Kunder and Farah Khan, Arjun Rampal and Meher Jessica, Sanjay Kapoor and Mahip, Farhan Akhtar with his wife, Kangana Ranaut and Ritesh Sidhwani to name a few. 

An anxious Priyanka made a jittery host, who was running around guests to make them comfortable. According to one of the guests at the party, “Priyanka had never in her life hosted a party before. She wanted to do it just right. It was okay if she over-did the hospitality as long as she didn’t lack in her role as a hostess. The Mediterranean food was ordered from Aurus and was quite a hit with the selected invitees.” 

The interiors of Priyanka’s new house are done by Sussane Roshan, who looked much elated with her work and so was hubby Hrithik Roshan. 

With Shahid Kapur joining the party with choreographer Ahmed Khan, the party became a super hit! Priyanka’s shaking a leg with Gerard, clearly portrayed a chemistry between the two friends and the actor once again proposed Piggy Chops! 

However, Priyanka’s party became a contentious issue with neighbours complaining about loud music to local police. Confirming the news, SJ Nalavade, Senior Inspector at Versova police station verified the reposts and said, “We also imposed a charge of Rs 5,000 on Raja Mohammed Bashir, who was in charge of the music at the party.” 

According to a guest present at the party, “The police came around 1.30 am and asked the blaring music to be lowered. Priyanka had to obey the orders.” 

Well, so what if the neighbours played a perfect spoilsport at the party, Gerard Butler had the time of his life with Priyanka! 

In Kaminey, Priyanka and Shahid go for.

Looks do matter. Especially when the female in question is Priyanka Chopra. She was a stunner in her last two successful outings at the box office - Dostana and Fashion. If in the former she was the editor of a fashion magazine, in the latter she was a show- stopper herself. 

Of course, all shows stopped at her arrival but she decided to take a different route altogether in her films to follow. She decided to be choosy about her work and picked on only two projects, Kaminay and What's Your Rashee. What makes Kaminey special is the fact that she got to work with director Vishal Bhardwaj, a master story teller when it comes to real cinema, and known for giving his leading ladies an entirely different look. 

While speculations were abounding about Priyanka Chopra's appearance in Kaminey, there has been a constant buzz ever since the first theatrical promo of the film hit the screens. Her hardcore Marathi girl act has made people sit up and take notice of Kaminey that has Shahid Kapoor in the lead. 

Says Priyanka's close associate, "In the film, she plays the role of Sweety who is not only a bindaas girl but also someone who is traditional to the core (watch her doing those typical Maharashtrian dance steps and you will know). She is on a complete tangent if one remembers her ultra chic and glam avtar in the films that she has been seen in over the years. 

Agrees Priyanka for whom Kaminey will be her first release of 2009 as a leading lady (after a hectic 2008 which saw her featuring in six back to back releases - Love Story 2050, God Tussi Great Ho, Chamku, Drona, Fashion and Dostana), "Yes, there has been an effort to make Sweety look completely different. She had to be believable and someone who isn't ultra glamorous. Also, I have gone with a minimal make-up look in the film." 

Even Shahid Kapoor seems to be enjoying his double role stint in the film where one of the characters played by him not just stammers but also keeps an unkempt look. 'Reality' is what Vishal Bhardwaj has ensured in his characters and the same holds good for Shahid Kapoor too. 

With both Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra seemingly going for a makeover and giving an altogether new account of themselves, the wait begins for this film which is all set to arrive at theaters on 26th June (yes, the film has been moved from it's original release date of 5th June).
