Priyanka Chopra is gorgeous, feisty and modest. But can she punch like a man if a role demands it?
In Farhan Akhtar’s film Don , Priyanka will be seen in a totally new avatar – a martial arts expert. The film has Priyanka doing some dangerous stunts for which she underwent arduous training in judo and karate.
But while punching the bad guys in the film, Priyanka could not bring enough power and manliness in her blows.
During the shooting, Priyanka’s co-star Shah Rukh Khan kept on insisting her to make her punches more manly.
“Aur thoda manly” was the advice SRK kept doling until Priyanka brought enough strength and fury in her fists.
However, the actress says she is still not convinced that her punches were aggressive enough.
“I think I can never punch like a man, although I tried really hard,” a report quotes Priyanka as saying.
By the way, Priyanka has become more sought-after in Bollywood following the super success of Krrish .
