To cope up with the recent turmoil, Priyanka is seeking peace in her spiritual side by visiting Ajmer Sharif and gurudwara.

Priyanka Chopra spends a quiet birthday

One of the most sought after Bollywood actress, Priyanka Chopra turned 27 this Saturday but there not no birthday bash for this girl who has always had a quiet birthday with friends and family since the age of 12.

“It’s always been a home celebration. My family brings in surprises for me and I like it that way because I really get worried when it comes to organizing parties,” she laughs.

“I’m not a big party person and I don’t like throwing parties at all. So this time a lot of my family members have decided to fly down to be with me. It’s likely to be a day spent doing nothing in particular - just hanging out with the people who love me and want to be around me to make my day special. That’s all,” she added.

Talking about her birthday resolutions, Piggy Chops said, “I don’t have any specific plan, but hope for peace of mind and well being. This year has been extremely good for me, and I would like to thank God for it.”

With many awaited films at present, viz., Vishal Bharadwaj’s “Kaminey” with Shahid Kapoor, Ashutosh Gowariker’s “What’s Your Rashee?”, and Yash Raj Films’ “Pyaar Impossible” along with Uday Chopra and Dino Morea, Priynaka Chopra says that she does not believe much in setting goals.

“I’ve never set any goals for myself. I’ve always been destiny’s child and destiny has always looked after me. I think someone up there always manages my life and does what’s best for me. So I just leave it up to Him. I just work hard at what he sends my way,” she said.

Priyanka Chopra launches the men’s line of clothing

Pretty and glamorous Priyanka Chopra is definitely one of the most popular Bollywood actresses in this tinsel town. So, it did not come as a surprise when the lady was chosen to promote a men’s wear brand – J. Hampstead that was earlier promoted by sportsmen like Leander Paes, MS Dhoni…

“I think a woman’s opinion is very important when a man dresses and I would definitely give my opinion whether it’s my dad, my friends or anyone. So I think having a female brand ambassador for a male brand was a genius idea,” explained Priyanka Chopra as to why she was chosen to promote a men’s brand.

Recently, Priyanka launched international line of premium shirts of global brand J Hampstead and on this occasion, models walked the ramp showcasing the latest collections of the premium clothing line.

Work pressure takes a toll on Priyanka Chopra’s health

Priyanka Chopra is overworked these days. She has three back-to-back releases this month, Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Kaminey’, Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘What’s Your Rashee?” and Jugal Hansraj’s ‘Pyaar Impossible’. She is playing 12 different roles in ‘What’s Your Rashee?’ (just as Kamal Hassan did in ‘Dashaavataar’ or what Sanjeev Kapoor essayed in ‘Naya Din Nayi Raat’). Not to mention here that this kind of work demanded too much of hard work and dedication from the lady.

As a result, Priaynka’s health has suffered and she has been in and out of hospital quite frequently these days. Her mother, Dr. Madhu Chopra, is supervising her diet these days and she is under strict instructions from her that she should have home-cooked meals. So, Priyanka carries her own food even when she is in five star hotels.

Once her schedule eases, Priyanka wants to take a good break. “I am going to take sleeping pills and wake up after three days, “she says.
