"I don't know where these stories come from. Apparently I asked Madhur to change the climax of the plot so that my character doesn't get pregnant.
Now where did that come from?Madhur is a very competent director. Do you think he'd allow any actor to tamper with the script? Yes, the two of us sat down on the script and threshed it out over 6-7 months.
Once that was done, we went by the script completely. I'd be the last person to ask for changes once I begin shooting. "
As for her character getting pregnant Priyanka laughs, "That was never in the script. The ending was decided at the scripting stage. The girl was never meant to get pregnant.
Why would I shy away from doing something unconventional? I started with Aitraaz which was as unconventional as they come. I'm so amused by all the speculation about Fashion.
Just shows how much interest the film is generating. In spite of the constant attention we've shot a majority of the film. We're all working really hard on it. "
As for the film being inspired by the lives of real- life ramp -walkers Priyanka clears the air. " Fashion is a work of fiction.
It's not meant to be a khulasa (frankspeak) on the modeling world. Basically it's the story of this one girl's biographical journey, just like Tabu in Madhur's Chandni Bar or Bipasha in Corporate.
The fashion world is my character's backdrop. My character could very well have been a part of the any other profession. "
Priyanka admits she has never been more nervous about any of her films. "It's a very nerve-wracking character and I hope I'm able to live up to people's expectations. "
Priyanka has to cram in as much of the shooting as possible for Fashion before she rushes off in March to Miami for Karan Johar's Dostana directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
"That would be a welcome sunny seaside change after shooting the intense scenes indoors on a set for Fashion. It's a young peppy frothy film. Totally different from Fashion. "
