Ashutosh Gowarikar, Priyanka Chopra Patch up?

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Perhaps no other actress has managed to get this privilege. Priyanka Chopra will be grooving to 12 songs that will pay tribute to the 12 sun signs she plays in What's Your Raashee?.Not so long ago, there were rumours of Piggy chops being upset with her director Ashutosh Gowarikar for making a comment on stage that Aishwarya Rai deserved the Best Actress award that Chopra got. Standing there on the stage, when the IIFA awards at Macau were coming to a close, Ashutosh out of the blue announced that he wished Ash had won the award for Jodhaa Akbar (his film) rather than Priyanka winning it for Fashion. (Ashutosh seems to be becoming quite adept at creating controversies at award ceremonies). To make it worse, he further added that Jaya Bachchan also thought so.
Later, there were reports that Priyanka took it badly and seemed very upset. But looks like things are not as bad as it seems. According to a source close to the actor, "Priyanka and Ashu are very fond of each other and there is no tension between them."
And the 12 special songs might look like Ashutosh's way of making up for the humiliation, but sources insist the songs were well planned even before the incident. "Ashutosh is not doing anything out of the way. It's a plan that they always had," the source says.
When contacted Priyanka only chose to say, "There are 12 characters belonging to different zodiac signs, so the 12 songs. It's amazing how Sohail Sen (the music composer) has brought all of them together with a range and mixture of distinctive sounds. Each song is unique and depicts each character's story."
