Exclusive: Priyanka to sport 6-pack abs for role as yoga instructor in Hollywood film

If you happen to walk through New York’s Times Square, you will be filled with pride to see our very own Priyanka Chopra’s face plastered on the hoardings for an ad campaign that she has done for a leading international brand.

As an actress, too, Priyanka is going great guns. Though her Hollywood debut in Baywatch did not garner great reviews, it got her into a big Hollywood rom-com, Isn’t it Romantic. Priyanka’s new Hollywood film, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, features the actress as one of the two female leads. While Rebel Wilson plays the central female character, Priyanka is cast in the pivotal part of a yoga instructor.

And for the part, Priyanka has decided to acquire six-pack abs. A source says, “Priyanka has a great physique and she works out a lot. And the director feels she’s more than qualified to look convincing as a yoga instructor. But Priyanka feels she needs to be in even better shape.”

Intensified workouts and a rigorous food regime are on the anvil. This is why Priyanka gorged on all her favourite Indian food during her last visit to India.

From now on, it’s a yoga regime for one of Bollywood’s most svelte actresses.
