Show townies are known to have strange and estranged family members, who appear and disappear at convenience .. much to the star's inconvenience. Remember Abhishek Bachchan's ‘wife', Jhanvi Kapoor, who surfaced on the actor's wedding day? And Aamir Khan's estranged wife Jessica Hines, from the UK? Now, here's Priyanka Chopra's sibling, Jiya, sharing inside stories: How are you related to Priyanka Chopra?
She's my tauji's daughter. What was the film offer she made to you?
Since she's already an actress, she volunteered to help me to get through to producers. I told her I would do it my way. We're sisters but I don't want to mix up our personal and professional lives. Tomorrow, if I'm famous, I don't want Priyanka to get the credit for it.  | | Do I look like my sister?: Jiya Chopra |
Did anyone tell you that you resemble her?Yeah, but she's dark complexioned, I'm not. So, are you planning to join the Bombay movies?
I've signed three films. Tere Ishq Mein, with Emraan Hashmi, Ashmit Patel and Riya Sen. It's nearly ready. Right now, I'm working with Aftab Shivdasani in Ab Jana Pyaar Kya Hai. I'm also doing Mohit Suri's next. Was it difficult to face the camera?
I've modelled for television and poster ads before with John Abraham and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He's a good friend of mine and Priyanka. I've attended Anupam Kher's acting school. Dabboo Ratnani has done my portfolio. So, I'm ready to take on showbiz. (When HT City got in touch with Priyanka Chopra's spokesperson, Natasha Pal, she said, "Priyanka doesn't know any Jiya Chopra.")
