While reading Hindustan Times, we came across this column by Malavika Sangghvi. This was right after Priyanka Chopra attended the MET Gala and the Royal Wedding. According to a Bollywood insider in that column, Priyanka is fiercely protective about her position as the only Bollywood actress in Hollywood. So much so that she thinks this is her territory and she will not let anyone from India get in there. Technically, the word used was “encroachment” and we had to look it up because we had no idea what it meant; it sounds a little like saying a cockroach is on you and doesn’t want to get off! It means trespassing, which pretty much means that she will not let anyone take over her spot or share her spotlight in America. So, this is to say that no one else (no other Bollywood actresses) can make it in Hollywood while she is there.
Here’s the original text:
PC has confessed several times to being extremely competitive. It’s almost as if she’s got something to prove, like a chip on her shoulder; she plays much harder and believes the US is her territory and will not allow any encroachment.
As for her sense of PR, it is fantastic! Even as the confetti had not been dusted off after the Royal wedding, almost the first photographs to emerge were posted by Team Priyanka’s Twitter handle, which declared her the event’s ‘showstopper’. Soon, social media was flooded with pictures of the star’s attire, her Vivienne Westwood bespoke lavender suit and Philippe Treacy fascinator, such inspired choices…..
It is a little surprising, but not that much if you know PC and her ways to stay famous. Saying that this is her territory sounds scary as hell, and it reminds us of how cats like to mark their territories as well. Funny that they call two actresses fighting as “catfight!”.
Back to PC. If she wants to stay in Hollywood, she should probably build up a good reputation first. We all know if she burns bridges, there will not be her special someone around to build her another one. He is still looking for that jacket he misplaced!
Contrary to what she said at the beginning, TV networks over there are not rushing over and showing her all of their scripts so that she can decide which one she wants to act in. We all know where that favour came from.
As much as PC is a good actress in Bollywood, what is the deal with her in Hollywood? It’s like over there, she’s always on flirtatious mode. You might think she’s on the Bachelor! It’s so strange and weird too. Then, it got annoying. You can see she is trying, don’t know for what, but she is trying. How did that happen?
As of now, she has a film up for release and currently, she is being talked about because of Nick Jonas.
With all this talk on PC, we couldn’t resist finding out what people in Hollywood think of her. What better way to do it than through blind items! As per the blind items, she has pissed off a lot of people by being mean and rude. We went to CDAN and got into their archives for any blind item on PC. Here are what we found and please note that since these are from a Hollywood site, PC is described as Foreign Born:
The Latest Blind Item – PC and Nick Jonas
The Dating Twist
In case you were wondering if this TV actress and this former boy band member are in a real relationship, here’s what a source close to the situation tells us!
It’s fake. She is doing this for the publicity and so is he. This is his third or fourth fake relationship in the past five years.
Here we go again. Anything new about this one?
She’s old, but he’s done that before. The twist with this one is that this is his first interracial “romance” so he’s hoping to add a whole new fan base segment. He thinks he can get two million of her followers to follow him.
Check out those numbers and let us know when he reaches his goal!
Oh, and he wants her to take him on a little overseas trip to meet [her celebrity friend].
Looks like we should be prepared to be royally annoyed by both of these celebs for near future!
Blind Item 1 – Zac Efron and PC
It was a no go for this foreign born A-/B+ list mostly television actress on this ABC show when she tried to hit on this former A+ list tweener actor turned B+ list adult movie actor. She was hitting on him like crazy for a couple of hours at a television taping and he was having none of it.
Blind Item 2
The family of this foreign born B+ list mostly television actress from a new hit network show won’t speak to her or have anything to do with her because she has sex outside marriage. That is the least they should be worried about with her.
Blind Item 3
This foreign born A- list mostly television actress is not going to make the producers of her network show start liking her again when they see what she did to her lips and face while visiting what she said was the best plastic surgeon in the world. It looks atrocious and nothing like she did at the end of last season.
Blind Item 4
There was talk earlier this year of killing off this foreign born A-/B+ list mostly television actress from this meh ABC show. No one really likes her. But, since the show was doing poorly anyway they figured what was the point of going through all the headlines if the show was going to be canceled anyway. It is still on the bubble.
Blind Item 5 – Tom Hiddleston and PC
At the rehearsals for the show, the flirting between this foreign born A- list dual threat actor who is an Emmy winner/nominee and this foreign born actress got a bit out of hand. That top she was wearing kept falling down every time she raised her arms above her head and she seemed to be doing that every couple of minutes. They left the place in a very good mood and left together which is not how they arrived. Pretty sure someone now has a voodoo doll of her.
Blind Item 6
How thirsty is this? This A- list mostly television actress who only gets that high because she is on a hit network show and works hard to get noticed gave a ride to a pap so she could take her photo arriving to an event. The pap said it was not worth his time to drive over there so our actress gave him a ride there and an Uber to go back home. Plus gave him $250.
Blind Item 7
This foreign born A- list mostly television actress has a hit network show that is still in its infancy. Apparently everyone hates working with her and everyone tries desperately to work on the days she is not shooting. Whether it be her co-stars or crew, to them she is the next Katherine Heigl. Same network where Katherine started off too.
Blind Item 8
Once again, this foreign born A- list mostly television actress from a middling network show has made more people dislike her. A charity event. She was asked to do something and said yes. Tons of other celebs came in and did their piece and were happy. Not our actress. It was one thing after the other until there were five or six crew members just trying to make her happy.
Blind Item 9 – Claire Danes and PC
There is no love lost between these two recent film co-stars. Normally they are each A/A- list television actresses on respective hit shows. One is foreign born and one of the reasons the other actress dislikes her so much is the constant partying the actress does and the missed photocalls and press appearances. Oh, and showing up wasted to the premiere probably didn’t help either.
It will be interesting to see how far can PC take her Hollywood journey. The fact that she has signed ‘Bharat’ opposite Salman Khan showed that maybe she knew already that things are not looking good in the west. It could also be that she is counting on ‘Bharat’ to be a super duper hit so that her stocks can increase and she will get more offers over there. As for Bollywood, it will be hard for her to survive here as well. She pissed off a lot of people, who are only going to be happy to see her fail.
Still, all this doesn’t change the fact that she has managed to achieve in the west, in terms of being seen at the right places. Also, can’t forget the first time her name appeared on the introduction credits of ‘Quantico’, there was a moment of pride. Don’t know why, but there was.
