A lot happened in last one week…here are the five stunners…
This week was all about Salman Khan. If he wasn’t keeping people in tenterhooks on what will be Bigg Boss ‘s big bonanza, he was busy turning Prem for Sooraj Barjatya. But above all of that was Priyanka Chopra’s historic debut on American Television Network. Her first English show Quantico went on air last week creating a frenzy. Suddenly, she was everywhere and people can’t stop talking about her. It’s such a proud moment for everyone in the entertainment industry. But apart from that there were other instances too which made the last week really eventful. Let us chronicle a few…
Priyanka Chopra’s Quantico rocked!
She plays an FBI agent in Quantico which opened on ABC network on September 27. She arrived on American TV horizon and conquered it already. The foreign media went gaga over it while viewers made the show truly a hit. With 7.1 million viewers with its first airing, Quantico is definitely one of the best bets taken by the network this year. The show aired in India yesterday and we are sure she earned accolades here too. It isn’t an easy task to do a lead in an American show where Asians are always stereotyped. She paved the way for something bigger and better and we salute her for that!
When ABC couldn’t differentiate between Priyanka Chopra and Yukta Mookhey
Despite Quantico being their own show, ABC faltered to recognise the lead of show Priyanka Chopra. During a segment on her as a part of the show’s promotion, Nightline, which airs on ABC, created an AV to introduce PC to the viewers but instead of using her footage of Miss World they used Yukta Mookhey’s, earning a lot of flak. Resultant? They had to apologise to the actress for the blunder. Funny how a network forgot the lead of one of its new hit shows.
Akshay Kumar’s Singh is Bliing sets BO on fire!
Many had a question on their lips when they saw Singh Is Bliing, why does Akshay Kumar do a film like this when he is doing so well for himself with films like Special Chabbis and Baby. Well, 20.67 cr on its first day at the box office is enough to silence them all. After all, who doesn’t like to rake in some good moolah! According to Taran Adarsh, it is Akshay’s biggest opener till date which goes on to prove, why blings are just fine! But it is the Singh who can actually carry off that bling not just anyone and everyone!
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’s trailer gets a release
Salman Khan launched the first theatrical trailer of the film last week. He will be seen in double role along with Sonam Kapoor. The film releases this Diwali.
