Amitabh’s blog hits its magic 10-year milestone

Priyanka will be a ‘Desi girl forever’

-

ACTRESS Priyanka Chopra, who has been busy with internatio­nal projects, reminded Salman Khan that she was a “Desi girl forever” after he welcomed her on board for the Bollywood project Bharat with a quirky message:

“Bharat welcomes you back home Priyanka. See you soon. By the way humari film Hindi hai (our film is in Hindi),” Salman tweeted on Wednesday with a wink emoji.

Priyanka, who is teaming up with Salman on the big screen after a gap of 10 years, responded: “UP Bareilly ki hun janaab… Desi girl forever. Very happy to be a part of Bharat and see all of you on set.”

The actress, who shot to internatio­nal fame with her role in the American TV show Quantico, got the epithet of

“Desi girl” with the eponymous song from her film Dostana. MEGASTAR Amitabh Bachchan has completed a decade of writing his blog, through which he stays connected with what he calls his “extended family”.

“10 years! April 17, 2008, a few words went out to the world on air and in the waves of connection, some carried a recognitio­n of them and sent sentiments back, and the next and the next and the next and 10 years went by,” Big B wrote on his blog.

Of his fans and followers, Big B said:

“I knew no-one and neither did any of you and then we all came to know each other and built a home, the warmest and most hospitable in the entire world. Does 10 years need celebratio­n? Why 10? Why not 11 or many more or other?” he said.
