MUMBAI:
Blender, India's coolest music magazine today launched its first
Indian cover with Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra adorning the
November 2008 issue. The magazine's 7th edition was its HOT ISSUE
and it finds Priyanka topping THE BLENDER HOT LIST 2008. It might
be remembered that Maxim, Blender's sister publication, also featured
Priyanka on the cover of its launch edition, 3 years ago.
Speaking
on the occasion, Editor, Blender India, Sam Lal said,' The USP of
Blender's take on Priyanka is that it showcases the musical side
of the actress, something, which no other magazine has explored.
She was the most unique yet unanimous choice for the cover.
Farhan
Akhtar certainly seems to agree. In an interview with Blender, the
director actor said, "On the sets of Don, I and Priyanka were
constantly singing old Don Songs. Only, she was more in tune than
I was. She should definitely sing more." Her co-star in many
films, Bobby Deol echoed similar sentiments. "We acted in Andaz
for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised to hear her humming.
She was sitting on the side waiting for her lunch and suddenly she
started singing. Soon the crew formed a circle around her and she
was regaling an audience."
What
makes the Hot List truly special is that everyone from AR Rahman,
to Vishal-Shekhar, Salim-Sulaiman, Kailash Kher, Hard Kaur and a
host of other stars have declared themselves to be very proud to
be a part of Blender's yearly round-up.
