The King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, has always helped his colleague friends in the Bollywood industry by popularizing their products and by taking care of them but this time the one who has been helped by the King is none other than Priyanka Chopra.
Former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra, last Saturday won the best actress award at the 18th Annual Colors Screen Awards ceremony for playing a negative role in the film ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’. However, when Kunal Kohli, who is an Indian producer, director and writer, went up on the stage to present Chopra with the award, SRK urged the audiences to watch Piggy Chops upcoming film ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’.
The film ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’ is Kunal Kohli’s tentatively titled under-production and it has just finished shooting. Therefore Kohli was also very happy with SRK’s gesture, as he believes it was really sweet of Shahrukh Khan.
Kohli, who was present on stage when the incident happened, said: “It was really very sweet of Shah Rukh Khan. He was on stage co-hosting the show with Vidya Balan. I went up on stage to give Priyanka Chopra an award, and I said I hoped she’d get one next year for my film. “Shah Rukh turned around and asked me, ‘What is this, plugging your film at any given opportunity?’ I told him, ‘Sir, I learnt it from you only.’ Then Shah Rukh announced to the audience that they must watch my film. I thought it was a thoughtful gesture.”
In ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’, which is from the 1960s, Priyanka Chopra is going to play a lead role opposite to Shahid Kapoor. Chopra will play role of an upcoming actress whereas Kapoor on the other hand will be seen as a struggling music composer. The film is all set to release in the cinema halls on June 22, 2012.
Well, all said and done, let’s hope people don’t make an issue out of this because SRK and Chopra have already been rumoured getting close enough to share what is called more-than-friendship.
