She is one of the most sought after leading ladies in the Hindi movie industry, but actress Priyanka Chopra prefers characters with grey shades over positive roles. And why not? Her role of a femme fatale in "7 Khoon Maaf" has fetched her a prestigious award. "I like doing negative roles. I think they are lots of fun. It's so good being bad, " said the 29-year-old who bagged the Screen award for the best actress in a negative role for "7 Khoon Maaf".Priyanka had earlier donned negative shades for the 2004 successful film "Aitraaz" -- for her performance in that film also she had won the Filmfare award for the best performance in a negative role.The former beauty queen is careful while choosing a role as she feels that the character should leave an impact, however, small it is."I think the most important thing in a character to see that it has a presence. A character should not feel wasted or redundant. Even if it is a small role, the scenes that you have should make an impact, that is important, " said Priyanka who will be seen playing Hrithik's love interest Kaali in "Agneepath" releasing on Republic Day.Besides "Agneepath", Priyanka is also busy shooting for "Teri Meri Kahaani", "Barfee" and "Krrish 3."

MiD DAY had reported on January 3 how actor Jackie Shroff was anointed after being invited to the unveiling of the drive by WIAA, with RTO officials scratching their heads to fathom the reason behind his presence.Road Safety Fortnight concluded on January 16 with the RTOs of Andheri, Wadala and Tardeo bringing down the curtains on the event for this year. Now, RTO officers say that Jackie was missing from the nearly 100 different programmes - including eye checkups for drivers, fitness tests of vehicles, painting contests for kids etc - that were organised as part of the drive. They claim that the actor wasn't in contact with them and they didn't know how or what for to get in touch with him. "There was no official note on what functions Jackie Shroff will actually attend. So we didn't know how to call him, " said an official from Tardeo RTO."Many of these functions included drivers of public transport vehicles like autos, taxis and buses and it would have become difficult to control the crowd if Jackie had come, " said another officer from Andheri RTO. WIAA had recommended the actor's name as brand ambassador. "Jackie Shroff did attend one of our functions and distributed helmets to people. In fact he is the brand ambassador until a new one is chosen, " said Nitin Dossa of the association. When MiD DAY contacted Jackie Shroff, he said that he had gone to Bhandup to attend one of the functions on road safety. "I distributed helmets and told people about the need to drive carefully. They should realise that parents and children are waiting for them back home, " he said. Courtesy: Mid-Day.com
