Priyanka Chopra Is A Woman Of Substance, Says Sonakshi Sinha
Darpan News Desk, 11 Sep, 2017 12:45 PM
Actress Sonakshi Sinha has praised fellow actress Priyanka Chopra, terming her a woman of substance.
Priyanka, the goodwill ambassador for Unicef, is currently in Jordan to help children uprooted by the civil war in Syria.
A large number of Syrians died or were forced to leave their homes due to the conflict. Since then, a number of Syrians have taken shelter in neighbouring countries like Jordan.
Sonakshi, 30, on Monday took to Twitter to laud Priyanka's work with Unicef.
"What Priyanka Chopra is doing right now with Unicef is what we must all aspire to do in life - make a difference. Woman of substance," Sonakshi tweeted.
Priyanka also shared a series of photographs of herself, where she is seen spending time with the families of the affected.
On the acting front, Sonakshi will next be seen in "Ittefaq", directed by Abhay Chopra. The film is an adaptation of the similarly titled 1969 film.
Actress Taapsee Pannu, who has played powerful roles in movies like "Baby" and "Pink", says feminism is not about asking for reservation or extra rights to get an edge over the other gender, but about working towards gender equality.
Actors Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao starrer "Bareilly Ki Barfi" amassed over Rs 10 crore in its opening weekend, its makers said on Monday.
Actress Nargis Fakhri, who featured in glamorous roles in films like "Main Tera Hero", "Azhar" and "Housefull 3", says she is more comfortable doing non-glamorous parts.
Ayushmann's latest release is "Bareilly Ki Barfi", and his next is "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan". His last release "Meri Pyaari Bindu" did not do well at the box office, but the actor says he is not under much pressure because his mind is always occupied in some creative process.
Filmmaker Gurinder Chadhas "Partition: 1947" -- the Hindi version of period drama "Viceroy's House" -- has been banned from releasing in Pakistan, reportedly over "misrepresentation" of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The director says it's unfortunate.
