Salman Khan: Priyanka Chopra Called Ali Abbas Zafar, Asking For Bharat

Revealing that Katrina Kaif was the original choice for period drama until Priyanka Chopra evinced interest, Salman Khan on how he harbours no hard feelings over her sudden exit

Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra

To beat the heat in Goa, Salman Khan swapped his shirt for a white vest. That is not to imply that the superstar compromised on his style at the launch of Bigg Boss 12; what he lacked in the sartorial department, he made up for by his grand entry - Khan arrived at the event in a motor boat amid cheers from his fans.

As he sat down for a chat with mid-day, we addressed the inevitable: Priyanka Chopra's abrupt exit from his period drama, Bharat. "It was sweet of her to tell us five days before the shoot that she couldn't do Bharat," began Khan, indicating that it was not just his muscles on display, but his dry humour too. "I'm glad Katrina is part of the film. She was Atul's [Agnihotri, producer] first choice. But Priyanka called Ali [Abbas Zafar, director] and said she wanted to do Bharat, so we considered her."

Ali Abbas Zafar

While it was initially believed that Chopra walked out of the film to get engaged to boyfriend Nick Jonas, it was later learnt that she had chosen Cowboy Ninja Viking opposite Chris Pratt over the Khan starrer. However, days later, the makers announced that the Hollywood project was infinitely delayed. Khan, on his part, says, "I hope the other movie that she has signed, works out. Now that she is engaged, we are happy for her. I hope she gets married soon, has children and lives happily ever after."

Before he begins the next schedule of Bharat, Khan will honour his small screen commitment. Having been the face of nine of the 12 seasons of Bigg Boss, he insists that hosting the show is no mean feat. "I don't know why certain contestants behave the way they do. Maybe it's because of the environment. I think the Bigg Boss house is the most difficult place to be in. And I am somebody who has even been to jail."

A still from Bharat

He also realises that many seek to boost their career through the show, "Some people get into the house to get work. But how will anyone hire them for a job, if they behave in an unruly manner in the house?"

Two years after singer Christina Grimmie's tragic and sudden death, her mother Tina Grimmie has died of breast cancer.

"We are saddened to announce the loss of our beloved Tina, also affectionately known as ‘Mama Grimmie' to the millions of fans of Christina Grimmie around the world. She will be missed immensely," the Grimmie family said in a statement shared on social media on Sunday, reports people.com.

"Tina fought a courageous and brave battle with cancer for many years, even until her final hours with family by her side. While this is a bittersweet moment for us as a family, particularly after losing Christina two years ago, we rejoice at the thought that Tina and Christina are united once again in the presence of our Lord and Savior," the statement continued.

On June 10, 2016, Christina was shot at after performing as the opening act for "Before You Exit" at The Plaza Live venue near downtown Orlando. Grimmie's brother Marcus heroically tackled her assailant Kevin James Loibl to the ground, before the latter turned the gun on himself.

The singer was 22.

"Tina Grimmie was a powerful and shining example of motherhood, being an amazing wife while giving love and encouragement to others. Her laugh, energy, passion and joyful spirit will eternally be a part of all of us," the statement added.

Tina is survived by her husband Bud and son Marcus.

The Jonas Brothers are doing great, however, it looks like their father is facing some serious financial problems. Nick Jonas' father, Paul, is facing financial problems. His construction and real estate company has filed for bankruptcy. As reported by an American entertainment portal, which has access to the legal documents, the debt is of USD 1 million, including a USD 268K judgment from a case his company had lost, reported TMZ.

Priyanka Chopra's future father-in-law is planning to sell most of his assets to pay the debt. Nick and musician brothers Joe and Kevin are also likely to bail daddy dearest out.

The Jonas Brothers had sold millions of records globally before the band broke up in 2013, and the trio has continued building their portfolios on their own. Nick reportedly has a net worth of USD 25 million. He has made most of his money as a solo artist, but he has also got a budding acting career and was recently seen in the 'Jumanji' remake.

Joe is said to have a net worth of USD 18 million and just listed his luxury farmhouse in Sherman Oaks for USD 4.25 million. Not to forget about Kevin, the rocker turned reality TV star has a reported net worth of USD 20 million.

Money definitely doesn't grow on trees; a lot of hard work goes in, but looks like the Jonas family tree has plenty of cash to go around.
