There seems to be many a golden moment for actor Priyanka Chopra these days. First she appeared in the not-so-glittering Drona directed by ‘Goldie’ Behl, then she emerged from the blue seas in a shimmering golden swimsuit for Dostana, and only recently Hollywood’s stunning ‘Goldie’ Hawn was privy to her latest film Fashion. “Golden moments, I wouldn’t have ever thought of that one,” laughs Priyanka. “But yes, it was a pleasure to meet Goldie Hawn. She was Parmeshwar Godrej’s guest and was keen to accompany her to a special screening of Fashion. She had some great things to say about the film, and some kind things to say about me!” divulges the actor.

On further probing, PC reluctantly revealed, “She thought I was convincing, and also stated that I could play innocent, bitchy, and vulnerable with ease. Goldie claimed to have loved Fashion even though she didn’t understand the language. Her comments did much to me, because I was waiting outside the theatre, a bundle of nerves then, not quite knowing what the reaction of the people was going to be.”

So is Hollywood calling; any possibility of being cast in Hawn’s production or something? “Hollywood has never been an ambition,” confesses Priyanka. “I’m happy doing films. Period. Be it Hindi, English, Kannada, Bengali, Tamil… I’m open to doing any, given that the script is good and I’m convinced of it! Goldie and I didn’t discuss movies or opportunities at all. She was our guest at the screening, and that was it.”

With all the positive feedback for Fashion, and with her making ‘waves’ in her swimsuit clad avatar in Dostana, ‘golden girl’ Priyanka’s career graph is beginning to shine, at last. She can well take a bow now!
