Film producer Suneel Darshan recently revealed that he told Priyanka Chopra to fix her nose before Andaaz. He also praised her for her strong drive for success. During a chat with Zoom Entertainment, Suneel Darshan shared that he wasn’t immediately impressed with Priyanka Chopra’s appearance. The 2003 film also starred Lara Dutta, apart from Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar, as the lead. Pankaj Dheer, Johny Lever, Maya Alagh, and others were cast in supporting characters.
He shared, He said, “I wanted to cast a fresh face in the film, and one day, I got a call from the reception saying that someone had come to meet me with a girl. I make sure to meet whoever comes over to my office, and it was Priyanka Chopra. I looked at her and thought, ‘Really?’ I asked them to take a seat. She was not a conventional beauty, but within 15 minutes, I knew I was going to cast her. Uski aankhein itni zabardast chalti thi, uski awaaz sexy aur nasheeli thi, uski bhook gehri thi (Her eyes were hypnotic, her voice was alluring, and her hunger to succeed was deep). These were sufficient reasons to bet on her. I told her that she was perfect for the role, and asked her to immediately fix the problem with her nose. Her father was a very, very accomplished plastic surgeon. She said, ‘No problem, sir, I’ll be ready’. I told her that we were going on the floors in 10 days, but she said that she needed more time.”
Priyanka Chopra got called ‘Plastic Chopra’ after a surgery mishap. In her book, she explained why her nose changed drastically post-winning Miss World, describing the incident as ‘horrifying.’ She had difficulty breathing and opted for surgery to remove a nasal cavity polyp, thinking it was a routine procedure.
