Here
Is
What
Happened...
Besieged
by
nasty
rumours
and
a
whisper
campaign,
Priyanka
Chopra
has
decided
to
immerse
herself
in
work
and
focus
on
her
forthcoming
music
album.
But
while
the
29-year-old
PeeCee
has
opted
for
a
dignified
silence
in
the
face
of
nasty
media
whispers,
friends
of
the
actress
claim
that
her
calm
facade
is
just
that.
A
Powerful
Director
Has
Launched
A
Campaign
Against
Her
Juggling
work,
her
father's
illness,
and
these
rumours
have
taken
a
toll
on
the
star.
In
particular
she
is
upset
and
flummoxed
by
the
campaign
unleashed
by
a
powerful
producer-director
who
can
make
and
break
careers
in
Bollywood.
She
Heard
This
Director
Bitching
About
Her
"At
a
recent
party
while
he
was
feeding
her
cupcakes,
she
heard
rumours
of
him
bitching
her
out-all
this
is
very
hurtful," said
a
close
associate
of
the
actress
who
did
not
want
to
be
identified.
The
associate-cum-friend
believes
that
a
powerful
clique
of
star
wives
is
behind
this
spate
of
anti-Priyanka
stories.
Star
Wives
Are
Insecure
About
Their
Relationships
With
Their
Husband
"Priyanka
has
done
nothing
wrong.
If
these
women
are
insecure
about
their
relationships
with
their
husbands,
they
should
sort
it
out
with
them,
at
home.
Why
should
they
attack
her?" thunders
the
friend.''
Star
Wives
Can't
Take
Away
Her
Work
"The
only
way
she
can
strike
back
is
by
doing
more
work,
good
work.
And
it
is
not
just
films.
There
is
music,
endorsements...
she
is
a
brand,
a
multi-faceted
personality
and
there
is
no
way
any
star-wife
can
take
that
away
from
her."
The
Star
Wives
Would
Only
Be
Remembered
As
Mrs
So
&
So..
"To
all
those
who
are
calling
her
names,
we
would
like
to
ask
them,
what
are
your
achievements?
You
will
only
be
remembered
as
Mrs
so
and
so...!"
When
The
Daily
Contacted
Priyanka...
Priyanka
said
she
would
only
talk
about
her
work
and
the
music
album.
"Whatever
has
happened
is
in
the
past,"
is
all
she
would
say.
Priyanka
Chopra
Is
Scared
To
Utter
Shahrukh
Khan's
Name
However,
her
protective
friends
were
more
forthcoming.
"Ever
since
she
was
nine
years
old
Priyanka
has
been
in
awe
of
Shahrukh
Khan.
But
now
she
is
scared
to
even
utter
his
name
in
public,
no
matter
how
innocent
or
professional
the
context."
Priyanka
&
Shahrukh
Shot
Together
For
Responding
to
rumours
that
the
two
will
not
be
seen
together
because
of
various
pressures,
the
friend
says,
"Priyanka
and
SRK
shot
together
for
Farhan
Akhtar's
adult
literacy
mission
film
recently.''
They
Are
Still
Friendly
''There
is
nothing
on
the
anvil
right
now
for
them
to
share
a
platform
in
public."
But
sources
close
to
the
actress
say
they
continue
to
remain
friendly.
She
Will
Not
Tolerate
This
"She
is
a
feisty
fighter,
a
hardworking
girl
and
will
not
tolerate
any
attempts
to
discredit
her
professionally,"
says
the
friend,
before
joining
the
actress
on
the
sets
of
Krrish,
where
she
is
shooting
till
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning.

"Using
