Priyanka was embarrassed at Aitraaz screening: ‘Parents were watching’
Hindustan TimesPriyanka Chopra talked about playing a ‘sexually charged character’ in Aitraaz, when she was around 21, and how the positive response to the film changed her script choices. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Priyanka said that heroines back in the day were expected to be ‘coy, pure, good girls’ but her character was a ‘bad b***h’. “Because my character was a sexual predator, and I was 21 or 22, people were like, ‘If you play such a sexually charged character, I don’t know if your audience will be able to see you with that kind of purity and that dream girl.’ The girl you want to take to your parents, basically, versus the one you want to take to your bed’,” she said. Priyanka said that Aitraaz ‘changed career’ and encouraged her to take up projects which ‘made nervous’.
