Priyanka Chopra and her 'mysterious lover'

For Priyanka Chopra, relationships do matter… they matter even more when she’s on the verge of a movie release with secret liaisons mysteriously springing up, and well-informed sources dropping loaded tips to enthusiastic journalists.

Not surprisingly, on the eve of her most ambitious venture to date, Ms. Chopra is busy dishing out interviews by the dozen, all of which suspiciously point towards a blooming romance with Hurman Baweja… that’s right, the same Hurman she dumped so unceremoniously when their mega-budget venture Love Story 2050 tanked at the box office. This time around, Priyanka opts to be far more discreet, dropping subtle hints about the possibility of a secret, mysterious lover.

In a recent interview with a leading Mumbai rag, Priyanka Chopra claimed that the most romantic thing someone had ever done for her was to make a CD with 12 of her favorite songs, and add a clever little voiceover before each song. Interestingly enough, Priyanka’s next film with Hurman called What’s Your Rashi? features the actress in 12 different avatars, which have to do with the 12 signs of the zodiac. 12 songs = 12 zodiac signs? Considering Priyanka’s track record, it sure isn’t a huge surprise.

But, it gets even better. Hurman Baweja jumps right in with his fond memories about the best gift he’s ever given his ‘special someone’. No prizes for guessing what the special gift is, and thus, who the unnamed recipient of Mr.Baweja’s affection is likely to be.

Priyanka, I’ve really got to hand it to you this time. If What’s Your Rashi? is as great a story as you claim it is, how come all we ever get to hear about it is about boring CD burning and fake spur-of-the-moment romances?

Why don’t you just focus on promoting the movie by speaking about the story, and your role in it? We really don’t want to know about your ’special someone’ be he real or imagined, because frankly, you’ve had so many boyfriends over the years, we’ve lost count and simply just don’t care.
