Indian filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar recently talked about Priyanka Chopra’s ‘serious affair’ in past and why the actress chose to keep it private. Although he didn’t name the person involved, it was earlier speculated that she had a strong connection with Shah Rukh Khan, especially after they worked together in films Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011), which showcased onscreen chemistry. The filmmaker opened up about Priyanka’s nature, along with her so-called affair. He also shared that the global icon didn’t want to be written and talked about the same.

In an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Prahlad Kakkar said, “Priyanka is a doll, she’s a great person to work with. She’s very ambitious, she’s very single-minded, she’s very focused. And she has a certain sense of dignity which she will not allow people to enter. So, her whole, this whole so-called affair, she never made a comment on it. Everybody else was commenting. She never said anything. She held her dignity. And if it was a frivolous relationship, she would have laughed. Obviously, it was serious. So, it was very personal to her. She didn’t want it to be written about, she didn’t want to be talked about it.”

The filmmaker continued, “Priyanka had huge disadvantages at that time. First, she was dark. Second, she had a bad skin. And she still does. Okay, so her skin had to be actually made up and covered. And then she was a strong-looking girl. She lost a lot of weight to look like the way she did in Dostana. She looked like a million dollars in Dostana. I mean, there’s no question about it. She had to work damn hard at it because she’s not a delicate-looking girl. She’s a big-boned girl. So you don’t, you’re not just losing weight on your flesh. You’re also having to deal with a skeleton.”

Prahlad also shed light upon Priyanka Chopra’s strong move to shift to Hollywood. He said, ““When the industry decided that she was too old for young heroines, she was the first Indian heroine to move abroad and make it there. I mean, who takes that kind of risk to leave? You are getting big roles, you are getting parts, you are not top of the line anymore, and you decide, f**k it, I am going to restart my career again. How many people can do that?”
