December 8, 2015

Mumbai, Dec 8: Top Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra says she works 16 hours a day to get recognition and money and has no time to enjoy life.

The national-award winning actress has become a household name not only in India but globally too with her American TV show "Quantico".

pc"Success is not a destination.... Success is a journey. You are successful if you are consistently successful," Priyanka said in an interview here.

Asked whetherMONEY matters, Priyanka said, "I do make money as I work very hard for what I do. I don't sleep at night, I work 16 hours a day, I don't have weekends or Birthdays or Diwali."

On whether Hollywood would be the next step, the 34-year-old actress said, "I have an agent in America since five years but I do work on my own terms. I am a star here in Hindi cinema so I don't want to do anything for the heck of it. I have no desperation to prove a point to someone. I would do films there if it excites me."

Earlier Deepika Padukone had revealed that Priyanka was the first industry friend she made in Bollywood.

To which Priyanka added, "We had common friends... We used to meet for movies and dinners."

So is it possible to be friends with contemporaries, the "Mary Kom" star said, "I can be friends with most of my colleagues I work with."

Priyanka and Deepika will be seen as Kashi Bai and Mastani in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus "Bajirao Mastani". Also starring Ranveer Singh as Peshwa Bajirao, the film releases on December 18.

Washington, May 26: Making a slight change to the name of their newborn, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his singer girlfriend Grimes have now named their first child X AE A-Xii.

The difference is only in the numeral part of the name which is now written in the Roman format.

Earlier this month, the celebrity couple hogged headlines for naming their son X AE A-12.

The change in the name came when an Instagram follower of the Canadian singer asked if she had considered changing the name of the child and she replied with, "X AE A-Xii."

However, the performer didn't provide further insight concerning the reason behind the change.

Canadian singer Grimes gave birth to her first child on May 4.

The 32-year-old had earlier taken to Twitter and explained the meaning of the baby's name.

Mumbai, Jan 12: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday came out in support of actor Deepika Padukone, who is facing flak from the BJP and some other quarters over her visit to the JNU campus in Delhi to express solidarity with students who were recently attacked by armed assailants.

Raut, who is a Rajya Sabha member and the executive editor of Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana', said the country cannot be run in a "Talibani" style.

After Padukone's visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday, many appreciated her "silent solidarity", but some others criticised her for "supporting Leftists", saying it was a promotional stunt for her latest film "Chhapaak".

Some also demanded a boycott of her film, based on the life of an acid attack survivor, played by Padukone.

A section of BJP leaders also criticised the 34-year- old actor over her JNU visit.

Talking to PTI, Raut said, "The demand for boycott of the actress and her film is wrong. The country cannot be run in a 'Talibani' style."

"Chhapaak", directed by Meghna Gulzar, hit the theatres on Friday.

Declaring a movie tax-free means the state has waived the entertainment levy imposed on it, thereby bringing down the ticket rates and encouraging more people to watch it.
