Ashutosh Gowariker went on stage and questioned why Priyanka won the Best Actress award and not Aishwarya
Ashutosh Gowariker didn't just fight with the hosts at the award ceremony in Macau, he also managed to upset the coolest heroine in B-Town Priyanka Chopra.
The actress who is also the leading lady of his next film What's Your Rashee was so upset with the director that she stayed away from the after-party at AbhiAsh's suite. The seething actress was overheard saying, "I don't want to go there and see his face."
Public platform
Says a source present at the awards event. "Priyanka is furious that Ashutosh went on a public platform and questioned her Best Actress award for Fashion."
Moments after PC collected her award and returned to her seat, Ashutosh went up to collect his award for the Best Director. The first thing he uttered after grabbing the mike was, "Priyanka I love you, but I don't know how you got the ward for Best Actress when Aishwarya was also nominated in the same category for Jodhaa Akbar."
A hush fell over the entire gathering. Ashu realised that he'd gone too far. And added, "Maybe it is because you are very hard-working and she is a natural." When he realised that in stead of improving matters, he'd made it worse he then put the blame on Jaya Bachchan, who was standing besides him. He said, "Jayaji was just asking me the same thing."
Priyanka looked like she'd been struck by lightning. She didn't know whether to cry or just run out considering her own director was humiliating her in public.
Kept quiet
Unlike Ashu, who made a scene at an earlier awards event, Piggy Chops kept her dignity and smiled through the proceedings. It was only after she left the venue did she let her feelings known. She spoke to a few people close to her and told them how disgusted she was with the director for questioning her talent, when she'd won the Best Actress at every function this year.

Simi, I have my doubts over that. Unless I'm mistaken, IIFA is Bachchan family's main awards event, and till 2007 people mentioned that Bachchan's will get all the awards. It's rather strange that Ash did not win for Jodha Akbar despite being a bahu. In my opinion, it was meant to illustrate that awards are not rigged and plus they had a lot of viewers, who sat to watch the show due to this whole 'drama' meant to raise TRP's.

Simi, here is the article where Jaya responds. I need to dig the older one. She says she told him to do that.😡
Nothing against PC
Initially, reluctant to speak on the matter, Jaya makes it clear she has nothing against Priyanka's performance in Fashion, "For all I know, she must be really good in it. I haven't seen Fashion. She's undoubtedly a good actress. I don't have any objection to her winning the award. But I wonder why Aishwarya's fine performance was ignored. I think she and the Jodhaa-Akbar cinematographer Kiran Deohans richly deserved recognition for their work."

Of course the other argument is that they felt entitled to it and to save face, they cut it out. Screen did air everything after all. I am glad Aish lost so at least their true colors were exposed. Priyanka was much more mature than the seniors. I mean for Jaya to give an interview like that to the Bachchan chamcha Subash K. Jha does show a sense of entitlement.
