Not comfortable with nudity: Priyanka Chopra

Image
Mumbai , April 30 - Though she has portrayed many bold characters on the  silver screen , Bollywood actress  Priyanka Chopra says she is not comfortable with nudity in films. The 28-year-old, who has done steamy scenes in films like "Andaaz", "Aitraaz" and "Fashion" among others, says that among the few things that she would not indulge in would be nudity. "Nudity is something that I wouldn't be comfortable with. Even if I  play  the most complex and weird parts which are raunchy or whatever it has to be, the portrayal of a  character  is to a point where it is aesthetically done. It has to be something that I won't be averse to showing my parents. I have to be able to sit with them  and watch  it. "Even if it's a film like 'Saat Khoon Maaf', the  thought  of the scenes was a lot more than what was actually seen. And that is aesthetically well done," Priyanka, who was part of a youth forum organised by MTV, told repor...

Shah Rukh also expressed his happiness for his team playing well as team. "To be honest I am a sportsman at heart. I believe that nobody wants to loose, everybody wants to  play  well and win the game. Whenever I was sad, which was quite often because we didn't get together as team. I wasn't sad because of losing I was sad because we didn't play as unit," said Shah Rukh Khan. He also reasserted that for him playing well as a unit was more important  than winning.

IPL rule book rules out Ganguly for Kochi

Image
Former India and Kolkata Kinght Riders skipper Sourav Ganguly may have lost a realistic chance of playing in this year's Indian Premier League, according to the IPL rule book. It was learnt on Friday that the Kochi Tuskers Kerala had made an attempt to rope in Ganguly as a replacement player for Steve Smith. Having been ignored at the IPL-4 auction in January in Bangalore, the only way Ganguly could have come into the IPL was as a replacement player. With Smith pulling out of injury, Kochi wanted Ganguly as his replacement but the rule book states that, a player can be replaced at the same or lesser price than the player to be replaced. Smith was purchased by Kochi for $200,000 while Ganguly's base price was $400,000. Surprisingly, Ganguly's base price, initially, was $200,000. But former Indian skipper, along with a few other players, including Rahul Dravid, had increased it to $400,000. If he had not done that, Ganguly could easily have walked into the Kochi team and ful...

Ganguly to make IPL comeback with Kochi?

Kochi:  Former Indian and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Sourav Ganguly is once again linked to make a sensational comeback in the IPL with Kochi franchisee, sources have told CNN-IBN. Kochi Tuskers Kerala, who are making their IPL debut this year, is keen to take Sourav Ganguly on board seven days after the kick-off for the fourth season of the IPL. Ganguly is likely to be included as a replacement player for Kochi Tuskers after Steve Smith was ruled out of the tournament.

So the KKR fans, who were shouting in anger when KKR dropped Ganguly, are sure to have a jaw-dropping scenario when their favourite son sits in the opposition dug-out. Ganguly, along with Mumbai captain Wasim Jaffer and Punjab pacer VRV Singh were the only three Indian players to remain unsold at the end of the two-day auction that took place in January in Bangalore.
