Priyanka Chopra learning Marathi

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra we hear has picked up quite a bit of Marathi. Wonder if it’s the Drona event that got the girl to go out of her way and learn the lingo? Nah! Piggy Chops is a part of a film Kameeney , in which she plays a Maharashtrian mulgi .

So, while Priyanka shot for Fashion , her Maharashtrian co-actor Mugdha Godse helped her with the language. We’re sure some politicians are happy about Kameeney and what it got Priyanka to do! Let’s wait and watch how PC fairs in this kasa kai, khara bai role of hers! For those who came in late, there was quite a fiasco at the Drona music launch, when Jaya Bachchan insisted on speaking in Hindi, since Drona - starring Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra - is a Hindi film. But her remarks, "Apologies to the people of Maharashtra...’ and ’Hum UP se hain, toh Hindi mein hi baat karenge ’ wasn’t taken lightly by some politicians - the Thakerays in particular - who wish that the people based in Maharshtra speak in the local language of the people, Marathi. Jaya’s statement, they said, had a political agenda and hurt their sentiments. What followed was the banning of Bachchan films like The Last Lear... But all was well when the Bachchan family publicly apologized and decided to put it all behind them!
