Priyanka Chopra on the top of Bollywood

Priyanka Chopra on the top of Bollywood

Even as Love Story 2050 bombed and God Tussi Great Ho and Champku failed to sparkle at the box office, Priyanka Chopra’s success status remains unaffected. The slender enchantress has four more films releasing over the next three months to prove her popularity. And mind you, these are not mindless comic pot-boilers. While Drona will see Priyanka emerge as an action queen, Dostana will see her showcasing some raunchy romance. Not to be missed out, the lady will introduce us to the dark side of glamour in Fashion.

While this year undoubtedly sees Priyanka ruling the roost as other heroines sweat it out at shoot schedules, last year saw the actress learning most of her lessons.

As the multi-starrer of the year Salaam-E-Ishq found itself under critical scrutiny, Piggy Chops worked doubly-hard not just on her acting, but also on her body for the carefully handpicked roles that came her way after the success of Krrish.

The films declared Priyanka Chopra’s success a matter of more than just ‘by fluke’. An over night revelation, no doubt every Bollywood fan got grooving to ‘Aaj Ki Raat’.

Dark dusks just before the beginning of dawn are inevitable and who knows this better than the self-made star Ms Chopra.

Looking back, 2005 was the year that saw her career in a slump. Though Bluffmaster and Waqt: A Race Against Time went on to become big hits, the focus was more on Abhishek and Akshay while Priyanka was doing the usual run-of-the-mill acts.

Also, Yakeen, Barsaat and Karam saw her at indulging in sleaze shows that can be traced back to late 90s and early 2000s mass appeal strategies.

Three Filmfare Awards in two years, Priyanka won more than recognition for her existence among fans and filmmakers.

No wonder she found herself being nominated in the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ category for the first one and went on to win the ‘Filmfare Best Female Debut Award’ for the second one.
