The latest Koffee With Karan episode featuring Priyanka Chopra was all - “hot” and “exotic” - (you have to say that with an American accent though). While Priyanka talked about it being a BIG year for her professionally (the show was recorded in December) and Karan fawned over her international success, we’re diving straight into the stuff that really mattered on the show.
1. Things Just “Happen” to Priyanka
Believe it or not Priyanka Chopra wanted to be an engineer and she ended up being Miss World, a world famous actor, singer, producer and celebrity who’s won multiple awards both national and international, and been on every red carpet on planet earth - all this without a plan!
- Priyanka never thought of being a film actor but ended up being a huge movie star in both Bollywood and Hollywood.
- Music was just a hobby for her but she ended up becoming an international pop artiste
- She said no to TV but ended up being the first Indian actor to play the lead in a popular American TV show.
Lucky girl!
2. Priyanka’s Got More Than a Pretty Head on Her Shoulders
While talking about her fame and stardom, the actor says that she knows that all this will go away one day. She also explains that it’s the reason why she’s got her finger in so many pies. “As long as people want to watch me, they will watch me as an actor,” she declares. Smart!
3. There Is Nothing Happening Between Priyanka and Tom Hiddleston
All that talk about Priyanka and Tom Hiddleston getting flirty at the Emmys After Party? It’s all just a bunch of lies, according to Pee Cee. Karan threw a few hints of Tom being the “Night Manager” - but Priyanka bounced them off by stating that she just met him for all of 10 minutes. Ok, then!
4. Be Warned, Priyanka Chopra’s Watching!
Priyanka may be abroad for most of the year, but the girl admits that she’s keeping a watch on who is doing what, or rather who’s doing who in Bollywood. So here’s what we know thanks to K Jo via Priyanka:
- Ranbir Kapoor is not dating anyone
- Ram is still with Leela, which obviously means that Ranveer is still seeing Deepika
- Varun Dhawan wants to meet Dwayne Johnson (he’s just a big fan)
- Dwayne might be coming to Mumbai for the release of Baywatch (if Deepika can get Vin, you bet Priyanka will leave no stone unturned to get the Rock himself)
5. Desi Boys vs Pardesi Boys
On being asked how the attention from males differs from India to the US, Priyanka said that the boys in America are more in your face, direct or well they just come right to the point. “Are you free tomorrow night for a dinner date?” is a question that PC gets in Pardes and can’t handle. The Desi boys are more “cautious” around the diva.
6. News You Can’t Use
And if you’re really interested in Priyanka’s private life, here’s what the actress revealed between taking shots of coffee on Karan’s couch.
- Priyanka Has Kissed an Ex After Breaking Up
- Priyanka Has Never Been Cheated On
- Priyanka Has Been Heartbroken
- Priyanka Has Had Phone Sex
- Priyanka Has Taken a Shower With Her Partner
- Priyanka Has Made Out With the Lights On
But K Jo Stole the Show With this Confession
In between the “never have I ever” game over coffee shots it was Karan Johar’s confession that brought the house down:
Priyanka’s reaction here? We totally get that!
