While shooting for Paa, Vidya Balan had a tough time recognising Big B in his Auro avatar. Priyanka Chopra found herself in a similar situation recently when her possessive father Dr Ashok Chopra failed to recognise her in her get-up as an old woman.
In Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming film Saat Khoon Maaf, Priyanka plays all the different stages of a woman’s life from age 18 to 65 years. Professional make-up artists have been flown down from Australia to create all these varied looks.
A source confirms that while shooting for the film in Coorg recently Priyanka had been stranded for long without any network on her phone.
“Priyanka had been missing her parents. So, she asked them to come for a small visit to spend sometime with her. Her parents decided to go and meet her on the sets of her film.
On that particular day, Priyanka was shooting a scene with Naseeruddin Shah in which she had played a 65-year-old woman.
The make-up on the actress was so unusual that her father failed to recognise her.” When contacted, Dr Chopra recounted his experience in utter bewilderment, “I was stunned to see Priyanka. I could not recognise her. I actually went up very close to her to ensure she is the same Priyanka.
The make-up artist had done such a fabulous job with her that she looked much older than her mother. Right from her face to her wrinkled hands and feet, she had been transformed into an old woman. While actors attempting geriatric roles often overact, Priyanka has a proud father who added, “My daughter was a natural and even spoke like a typical 65-year-old.”
