Priyanka Chopra features in the November issue of Blender

When the 'King Khan of Bollywood' calls someone as 'The Sexiest Indian babe', She better be someone who truly deserves it. The lady in question is not just out of this world, but she is a Miss World herself. Well, she is the one and only Priyanka Chopra, who has beaten, not just the 'blacks', but also the 'blues', to be the 'Numero Uno' artist in the newly launched supercool music magazine 'Blender'!

All this while, Priyanka is known as the heart-warming babe of bollywood. But the super-enthusiastic guys at 'Blender' have portrayed her as a performer and this 'portrayal' has put Priyanka Chopra in the top spot, surpassing greats like Metallica, Kareena Kapoor, Mariah Carey and Amy Winehouse.

With the recent back-to-back smash hits like Fashion and Dostana, can life get any better for this chic?

Movie Review of Dostana

To start off, Dostana is not a gay movie. But it certainly is a happenning one. Something that can bring smile and even make you laugh at regular intervals. Dostana is essentially a love quadrangle with enough moments of friendship to justify its name.

This is the story of two guys Sam and Kunal played by Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. They meet by co-incidence and then decided to pose as a gay couple so that they are allowed to stay in Neha's (Priyanka Chopra) house. The story just takes off from here and then on moves through hilarious incidents before it touches the soft pad of emotions. Neha is introduced to Abhimanyu (Bobby) and romance happens. Of course, the two hot 'gays' in love can create havoc in any relationship.

Priyanka Chopra's Dostana on the Cover of Verve

If one asks Priyanka Chopra a word that 'binds' Friendship, Company, Companionship, Dosti, Mitr etc...then,she simply rattles it out as 'Dostana'. And Miss Chopra is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to the film's promotion; so much that the latest edition of the fashion magazine 'Verve' has got her on the cover of and has even named the same as 'Dostana special'.

This issue is a special one for the whole of Verve team as it marks its grand Bollywood 'debut' with Dostana. The magazine also plays a key role in the movie. You can feast your eyes with 'Dostana specials' in the issue, which includes a fashion shoot on the film's Mumbai sets, the interpretation of Dostana's working woman executive through the lens of the skirt suit. If that was not enough, there is also a feature titled 'Miami Spice', which has the film's director Tarun Mansukhani offering some exclusive, behind-the-scenes dope from the sun-kissed beaches of Miami.

Besides all this, Priyanka also speaks about her 'relationship' with music. This issue also exhibits this super-actress' 'daughterly side' when she shuffled between her hectic shoots and her ailing father.

There's more and more to this Priyanka chic, which can be experienced best, the very moment you get a first hand experience... only in the latest edition of Verve.

Madhur Bhandarkar skips Gay Kissing scene

Madhur Bhandarkar is known for making hard-hitting and real life cinema; so is seldom facing controversies. His latest flick Fashion starring Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut and Mugdha Godse in lead roles opened across cinema halls yesterday and this time too, Madhur had to deal with a fair share of controversies.

Firstly, there were rumors that Kangna's character in the film has been inspired by noted Delhi based model Geetanjali Nagpal. Then the censor board irked Madhur by giving him an 'A' certificate as they felt the film had certain objectionable scenes for kids.

However, the director could have got himself into more trouble had he included a gay kissing scene in the film. The scene had actors Samir Soni and Anil Kumar share a kiss in a car but Madhur decided to drop the scene just on time. However, the director is planning to include it in the DVD of the film. Madhur has already started promoting the DVD of Fashion in a smart way.
