<span class=normal>There is something quite feline about Priyanka Chopra. When I talk about her work, she purrs. No, not literally - that would be weird - but she speaks easily, and appears content and relaxed. When I attempt to steer the conversation towards her life outside work, the claws come out. In a very good-natured, playful way, it has to be said. At times the interview feels like a sparring match and she gives as good as she gets, if not better. This is our third meeting and its not that shes not polite, smiley, gorgeous. Her smile is sort of impenetrable. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Its a smile that puts me in my place and allows me to surprise her with a date gift I got for her. She accepts it and rips the gift wrap. Thats how she likes it. Thats how I am. I like tearing things apart, she says. Wow. Thats a beautiful looking candle stand and it matches my walls too. I should say youve got a good taste. It looks so pretty. Thank you Priyanka. Im glad you liked it and I knew you would. Now that was me being an optimist. I add, I like the way your house is touched up. Its a cool mix of everything. Right from contemporary to traditional. She replies, I told my friend Suzanne Roshan (Hrithik Roshans wife) the kind of house I wanted. I like a lot of space and corners in my house. Where we are just seated is one of my favourite cosy corners. There is a music room which is another corner. I like it opulent and yet understated, which is why the chandeliers. The colours are very muted but still has the splashes of red, she explains.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><a href=../../../../../contests/c5/1040.html target=_blank>Play On a Date with Priyanka Chopra contest & win autographed CDs</a><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p></span>
