Branson falls at Priyanka’s feet!

In an unheard-of gesture of adoration for a Bollywood queen, British billionaire Richard Branson fell at Priyanka Chopra’s feet, in full view of the august gathering at an event in Dubai recently.

Branson fell on his knees to tell Priyanka, “You’re the only woman worthy of being called a goddess.You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.” She was at first aghast and then pleasantly flattered by this public display of affection. Laughed Priyanka. “Yes, the incident with Branson really happened. He was just being sweet and chivalrous. I didn’t know how to react. I gathered my wits and said a calm ‘Thank you’.

Even Gerard Butler apparently flooded Priyanka with compliments and even asked her to do a film with him. Sharing the Bollywood platform with Priyanka were Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Rani Mukerji and Yash Chopra. Also present were international biggies including Robert de Niro, Kylie Minogue, Lindsay Lohan, Gerard Butler and Wesley Snipes.

About De Niro, Priyanka just couldn’t stop gushing. She said, “He is De Niro, man! He just kept smiling. His wife spoke more than him. He said he was very happy to meet what he called young talent from Bollywood.”
What made her really proud was that Shah Rukh Khan had the largest suite in the hotel. “It was the 10,000 square foot suite. How cool was that! Imagine with celebs like de Niro and Michael Jordan in the hotel, our own SRK gets the largest room. I was very proud of SRK and our cinema,” said the Fashion
queen, who was dressed at the party in all finery looking like Cleopatra of the new age.

SRK hosted an after party in his suite where he invited celebs like Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Wesley Snipes, Gerard Butler, Robert De Niro and Richard Branson. “Yes these people whom you mentioned were all in Shah Rukh’s room. He’s the ultimate,” said Priyanka.
