Unfair to compare me with Priyanka Chopra: Deepika Padukone

-
Comparisons between Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra started as soon as the actresses signed their Hollywood projects, but the Piku star says it is “unfair” as they both are following a different path.

Priyanka, 34, made her international debut with Quantico in 2015, while the 31-year-old actress debuted in Hollywood with her recently released xXx: Return of Xander Cage.


During an interview with USA Today, Deepika finally broke silence over being compared with her Bajirao Mastani co-star. “It’s not fair to make comparisons. Let me just say everyone has a different path and journey,” she said.

Even Priyanka, who was recently on filmmaker Karan Johar’s chat show, said, “It’s so nice for me to see that Deepika is doing xXx...and whatever else she does in the future or Sonam (Kapoor) or so many other actors, who want to come to America I hope they are starting out.”

Sonam has also signed up with United Talent Agency (UTA), one of the Hollywood’s premier talent agencies.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...

Tees Maar Khan Box Office Report/Review/Collections

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave. The First Day territorial breakdown of the box office collections for Tees Maar Khan.

Reaction of Nikunj Malik to Rahul Mahajan's Wedding With Dimpy Ganguly

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...

Tees Maar Khan Falls Heavily On Monday in Box Office Collections

Tees Maar Khan fell heavily on Monday as it grossed only around 4.50 crore nett which is around 65% lower than its Friday business which was around 13 crore. All circuits fell across the board with Mumbai being worst at around 70% fall while East Punjab and CI recording smallest falls at around 60%. Okay, it's more than evident that TEES MAAR KHAN has emerged a tees maar disappointment. In terms of audience feedback. Also in terms of box-office numbers. The reactions to the film vary from achchi hain [a tiny minority] to theek hain [again, a minority] to mazaa nahin aaya [the majority has given it thumbs down]. The tremendous hype surrounding the film + Christmas period + extensive release strategy [the film was released at a record 2100 screens in India] + escalated ticket rates at most cineplexes should've ensured a bountiful Rs. 45 cr. to Rs. 50 cr. nett opening for the film, but the weekend numbers [Rs. 38.25 cr. nett] clearly indicates that TEES MAAR KHAN hasn't lived ...

Arbaaz Khan Opens Up About His Separation From Wife Malaika Arora Khan

Arbaaz Khan Opens Up About His Separation From Wife Malaika Arora Khan Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora Khan, who decided to separate last year, have largely remained mum about their split. While many theories of what led to the separation did the rounds (the most cited one being Malaika's affair with Arjun Kapoor) neither of the two said anything about it in the media although Arbaaz did take several digs at his own marriage on Koffee With Karan. Now, in an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Arbaaz had quite a mature take on the impending divorce. He said, "Just because we're separating, doesn't mean we have to be worried about each other's equations. I have a child with her, so we have to have a cordial and a great relationship. We're very amicable with the split we had. I'm close to her side of the family, something that you can all see." He said that his relationship with Malaika's family goes back a long time. "My ass...
