Priyanka Chopra denies differences with Kangana Ranaut

Priyanka Chopra denies differences with Kangana Ranaut



Priyanka Chopra has denied that she has any differences with Kangana Ranaut who co-stars with her in Madhur Bhandarkar 's forthcoming Fashion .

"Please stop thinking of us as rivals at each other's throats. I worked with Kareena Kapoor and Lara Dutta in my two earliest films. We worked without any kind of tension. Now I hear I'm at loggerheads with Kangana while shooting for Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Fashion'. That I'm feeling threatened by her presence, when in fact we get along famously," Priyanka told a news agency.

"Kangana and I share a lot in common. Like me she's an outsider who has been wholeheartedly embraced and adopted by Mumbai. Besides we've our individual space in 'Fashion'. So this reported friction is again fiction," Priyanka added.

Apart from 'Fashion', Priyanka will also be seen in Drona and Love Story 2050 this year.
Priyanka added that Bollywood needs to set a secular example for the rest of the country.
Priyanka, who has carved a niche for herself, feels that every actor needs to create an awareness around themselves that takes them beyond the role of an entertainer.

"I love this country. I don't want to be accused of sounding preachy when I praise my country. I'm extremely proud of being an Indian. I cling to my culture and roots with extreme passion," Priyanka said.

"People may find it funny and fake, but I'm vocally possessive and protective about our image abroad. That comes from my days when I was Miss World and I represented my country in so many ways. Today, that habit remains with me. I feel if somewhere in your heart you carry a pride for your country, it will show," Priyanka added.
