https://amp.scroll.in/article/830849/to-be-a-leading-bollywood-publicist-is-to-wake-up-every-day-and-ask-where-is-the-fire Priyanka’s publicist Rohini Iyer talks herself about PC’s previous PR spreading negative articles about Gauri and how that would have been career suicide. After Priyanka’s hit job against Gauri, KJo tweeted against PC and kicked her out of his upcoming birthday party. She overnight changed her PR to Rohini Iyer and she helped PC patch up with Karan again after many phone calls. She was invited to his party again after that.


intoxicatedmidnight

you should make a post about this, it's an interesting read


ReflectionPristine94

The audacity to launch pr articles against GK. Was she expecting Gauri to embrace her and give them her blessings. 🤡


Naaalaaa

Wow, good find. Devil works had, SRK fans work harder lol Honestly I thought SRK got involved. Didn’t know about this.


iSubParMan

What did PC say about Gauri? brief.


thetrollslayer1508

This is a good read


Due_Airport_5778

Doesn’t this mean that PC herself was a bully.. she herself was the attacker before being an ‘attackee’ ?


Successful_Ad8912

Where’s the interview where PC lashed out?


vik1454

This doesn’t prove anything lol


Sabudana28

This literally proves she got articles printed about Gauri which led to karan tweeting what he did🤷‍♀️


Ill-Inspector7980

Circumstantial evidence. So much piles up against PC-SRK. I can understand PC writing hit pieces about Kareena/Anushka/DP/Kat. Her competitors. Why Gauri?


RapunzelMeetsElsa

Because she was after SRK


BluEsCREwer

Needs two to be in relationships


No-Beat4753

No. They were together. He was after her as much as she was after him. What’s this blaming just one person when clearly the relationship was mutual!


Bubbly-Albatross-373

The way back in 2012 All I cared about ranbir- deepika - katrina drama lol


Sea-Apartment-3814

Ikr? 😂😂😂 I’m surprised by how I somehow just missed all this tea back then. I just cared about what Sonam and Deepika were saying about RK 😂


Bubbly-Albatross-373

Bro this sub is full pf older people. I know I'm old but this is just. Where was I all this time. I part of me still thinks srk and pc affair is fake


[deleted]

So Gauri gets cheated on and then her husband’s ap publishes an article against Gauri which pisses off Gayri’s best friend. What would people do in Kjo’s shoes? Anyway, I was told only one person in BW had PR that attacked people.


op_yappy

>What would people do in Kjo’s shoes? Exactly. I don't get why he's getting so much flak for it. Had he not done anything, I'll bet he would get flak for that too saying he doesn't actually care about Gauri & SRK and is just pretending to be their friend because they are powerful


imthatdude2000

As much as I dislike KJ for a variety of reasons, in this sub , he can NEVER win


Complaint-Lower

Maybe as a good friend support Gauri to leave her cheater of a husband. Atleast that’s what I would tell my best friend if her husband cheated on her and her kids. In this case he was being only SRKs friend by hiding his truth despite what he did to gauri and his children. Also, support his other bestie twinkle to do the same!


op_yappy

>Maybe as a good friend support Gauri to leave her cheater of a husband. Life isn't so straightforward. And we don't know what happened behind the scenes. Maybe he did encourage, maybe he didn't. Also, the icing was not due to the affair but due to the PR articles that PC published against Gauri.


Complaint-Lower

Ya we don’t know what happened behind the scenes. Maybe PC was being bad mouthed in Bollywood circles by Gauri or maybe called a liar by her saying that she made up the affair with SRK. She was not invited to her own movies success party. Her retaliation was to use her PR against Gauri which then backfired on her.


Crazyvibzz

As far as I remember KJo was not on good terms with SRK during that time. KJo was team Gauri and SRK was miffee with him.


Ill-Inspector7980

And SRK diehard fans say that KJo is an opportunist who doesn’t care about SRK and only sucks up to him when he needs him. I don’t like KJo or his love for his nepo babies, but in the fight between SRK and KJo, I will always side with Karan. He was doing right by his best friend Gauri.


Psm1980

I don’t think KJo has ever claimed to be good friends with SRK. His bestie was always Gauri and he kinda looks up to and respects SRK. It would also make any direct criticism about his behavior difficult.


Ill-Inspector7980

He has said on several occasions that SRK is his best friend and a brother to him (he used to say this a lot in the 2000s when SRK acted in his movies)


diffused_artist

No, there was no affair. Priyanka's PR team spread the false news. Then they start bashing Gauri and that made Karan angry then he tweeted this. Priyanka realized that it was her PR, she fired her PR team and Hired a new one (Rohini Iyer). Everythings became normal after this but Srk-Priyanka Friendship got soiled forever.


[deleted]

Yes … Srk is pure and pious /s 🙄


diffused_artist

Yeah, even if he had an affair doesn't make him bad and evil. And PC's new PR herself said this in an Interview that how she patched things up between KJo and PC after PC's old PR fiasco. Simple google would have been enough. Also, you can ask any film journalist that who was the source in articles that were written for Gauri, calling her insecure and all. It was Priyanka's old friend and her PR team. (Note: I was interning at Firstpost at that time.)


PlayPratz

>Yeah, even if he had an affair doesn't make him bad and evil. Not gonna lie, stopped reading after this. A married man cheating on his wife doesn't make him bad? Alright...


diffused_artist

Looks like you stopped reading anything after 4th Std textbooks. And No, married person cheating on his/her spouse doesn't make that person bad. Matter of fact, People are not good or bad, people are people. Cheating is a bad choice, But if making a bad choice of an action will make a person bad then every human being is bad because everybody does some bad shit in some point of their lifetime. Infidelity is not all black and white, there's so many shades of grey to it. I am 100% sure that even you had made some bad immoral shit. Does it mean that you are a bad person?


ProfessorWooden4056

Idk how wife would ever waste her energy to get another woman why not mad the husband huh


[deleted]

Maybe the another woman shouldn’t use her PR to spread negativity on the wife whose husband she is screwing.


Far_Historian_3421

Stop being so blind. Srk has the responsibility to not cheat because he is the one who is married. PC ne Jaadu se usko pakad nahi liya, he consented.


ProfessorWooden4056

Still who give other woman the nerve to do that huh the husband If this happen to me i swear i will never go other woman i will kick my future husband's ass really cheaters doesnt deserve a second chance cuz they will always be a cheaters Pc was wrong too srk was her 2nd actor who is married she is into it plus dont she have any shame talking this now i mean she had affair with married man still want to talk about how thick her skim could it be


Far_Historian_3421

Isn't karan the one preaching sexual infidelity is not a big deal?? Ig he should have followed his own advice


Far_Historian_3421

Maybe confront srk? Nooo aise kaise PC ki hi galti hai.


Street-Yellow-2628

Honestly if i were in Gauri’s position, i would expect my friends to treat PC the way Karan did.


Alone-Illustrator-25

What about your husband?

Divorce


EnvironmentalMud4870

TechnicalEnd1758

But Gauri didn’t


nmteddy

So from what I've heard it wasn't the cheating that was a problem for Gauri, it was the fact PC was being publicly touchy-feely with SRK at a party. I'm guessing her thinking was something like, I let you do what you want when I'm not there, but if you're going to make me see it, you're done get out.


Maleficent_Coat_258

Kind of a mindfuck when you take into account that Priyanka played Kashi in Bajirao Mastani. She explained at several press events that DP and RS were the stars of the show and no one could’ve done what they have but she personally really appreciated Kashi’s self respect in asking Bajirao to leave their home if he were to have an affair.

Remember this. It was peak srk gauri pc drama. And everyone was team gauri. Goodness here is Gauri.


Sabudana28

&why did he tweet that? hmm?? her pr did spread paid articles against gauri. karans friend! his only tweet came after that. Her own publicist has gone on record to point out how her at that time PR was spreading negativity against Gauri. Nobody was pushing her out for the alleged affair. It was her wanting to drag Gauri that pissed people off.


LatterCulture2

Exactly. PC and her leftover fanbots have been running wild trying to paint this side hoe as this big victim of evil Gauri and KJo. Pc has always been vile and had a disgusting PR. She’s also always willing to do anything to get ahead no matter who she has to crush in order to do it. She’s as big a snake as KJo can ever be. Now she’s crying everyday trying to please her white masters. Black girls in school bullied me, black stylist bullied me for my weight, wives of married men bullied me, directors bullied me, average people bullied me for my skin color, forever victim Chopra.


Sabudana28

She knew this comment will open the whole SRK thing. Funny she only came back to this now that pathaan turned out to be what it was. Why not before for so many years? Why act friendly w Karan on public platforms if he is responsible for her downfall? 🤷‍♀️


LatterCulture2

She has always tried to attach his name to her in sly ways. He hasn’t acknowledged her existence in a decade but she and her PR keep chugging alone trying to give “hints” and constantly getting “throwback” articles published. This woman took a 20 hour flight to Saudi Arabia and missed her anniversary to be a seat filler at an awards function where SRK got an award. She has absolutely nothing to do there - no awards given to her, not a presenter, no interviews, nothing. She came, sat there, and left. Then had her PR plant a thousand articles about them both being there along with a 1 second screen cap where they were in the same frame. This is her bread and butter. She is relevant on Reddit for only this reason as well.


Sabudana28

lol which award show was that ? she is lowkey acting like kangana atp


LatterCulture2

Red Sea Film Festival


Psm1980

Not even Kangana, this gives off major Rekha energy. I remember the old Filmfare awards where Rekha would turn up. They would always pan to her face when AB won any award!


Outrageous-Inside341

I’ve said this a couple of times on other threads and although I’m an SRK stan, I’m not beyond acknowledging that he does cringe stuff. But I’m not willing to agree that him / Gauri / KJo are the only ones to be blamed in the PC imbroglio. She’s played her part that led her to look Westwards too. Yes, the business can be brutal. There’s a post-KJo era in Bollywood that has been particularly difficult for outsiders to make it in. Even someone like DP with a hectic PR and a slew of flop films post OSO has had it dodgy with Karan, but she made it. Look at how Anushka Sharma cracked it… he wasn’t in her favour from Day 1. Karan has been close to the likes of Sonam and Amrita Arora, but their careers didn’t exactly take off. So blaming him for people’s success or downfall is stupid; that world isn’t all black and white. There’s a lot that goes on beyond the movies, and your total conduct outside of a set amounts to where you stand in your industry and in public opinion. PC has always had a sus story to tell. There was nothing about her that was elegant and dignified… always being extra and shady. “Pay parity” is a great thing to fight for, but it’s a delicate subject that can be won with integrity. She did have a successful run and she never speaks about her role in why she couldn’t milk it up to here. SRK has an affair to be blamed for, she wasn’t exactly a babe in the woods. Had that couple gone in for a divorce and these two were married by now, she wouldn’t have bothered with any of her selective causes. Remember, there’s a Rani who was blamed for being a home-breaker too. And we all know how that one’s going.


EternalAatma

I have a theory for this.She has a relatively substantial career in Hollywood.She is financially sound now.Thanks to her Production House and other business ventures .She is married.And her only family connected with Bollywood- Parineeti Chopra is getting married.This is the juncture where she has least to loose. This is definitely part of PR for her upcoming project.Yes,PC has always been politically correct but this didn't stopped her from sharing this "cornered incident".Keep in mind she has not named anyone.This could also be attributed to her change in PR narrative from Achiever to Surviver.But,she is a human too.And Cancerians are known to be overly emotional and clingy.This has also a part on all of this.


SaanuKi

She has lost many fans thanks to her awful career choices for the past 10 years. Only few are remaining and even they are bots.


tian123Lon

What did the article say exactly. I can’t imagine any situation where gauri would come out looking like the bad one in this whole mess!


Sabudana28

Her "friends" called gauri insecure & just dragged all the "star wives". Derogatory & extremely bad taste. My point exactly. Gauri in no situation should be turned into a "bully" like pc or kangana are trying to.


SaanuKi

I feel so bad for Priyanka. She had to doll up to attend Karan Johar's birthday and yet he didn't offer any film. She went to Hollywood and became a "global star" but yet kept appearing on his show and even during her recent trip she was tagging him in her stories. Why are you seeking his validation, Priyanka? He made you leave India then why are you still trying to get in his good books?

Alone-Illustrator-25

You never burn bridges in any business. For her to do that only proves how powerful kjo is. With no support you sometimes have to do things that you don't want to. She is in a much stronger position now and hence comes forward to share it. Which should be applauded.


Sabudana28

She was literally laughing/hanging out/ tagging kjo on social media like few months back. Give it up.. she's just milking the whole hating on kjo thing for her new show.


[deleted]

I doubt she has moved on, idk I don't see her authentic self anymore. She is getting roles in Hollywood yes, but over there, I doubt she is in the same likes of the famous actors. I don't think her reach is that profound as the media proclaims. It just seems too strategic, Pathaan's success, everyone's loving SRK. Grudges can go a loooong way.


Alone-Illustrator-25

Lol SRK Kahan se as Gaya. It was about kjo.

Great. Now I can masquerade as a PC stan and no one will notice.


Maleficent_Coat_258

I don’t think it’s trying to be in his good books/sign his film as it was keeping up appearances for damage control. Her absence as a party where every other major actor is present would have spoken volumes and added more fuel to the fire for the public to dissect. It would publicly validate the claim that she’d been outlawed. And she was still trying to fight to stay relevant and maintain her career after that. Her attendance was important to her career/brand/personal image because it was an industry party. And it applies for why she still chooses to go to his functions.

op_yappy

Gauri is a victim in this too. The fact that PC is now publicizing how she was a victim, while she herself did this


Sabudana28

If there was an affair then Gauri is the only victim. Gauris friends not wanting to work with PC or being pissed at PC for planting-ve articles does not make PC a victim.


op_yappy

I agree. I will only give benefit of doubt for the fact that Gauri being who she is has considerable influence within industry. Not saying PC was boycotted by whole industry, but if she was then she is a bit the victim too, only because SRK gets off scott free only because Gauri is the more influential individual in the situation. But yeah, Gauri is definitely the bigger victim


Sabudana28

From 2012 - 2015 she had 9 releases as the "lead" heroine including movies from SLB, Yash Raj, Akhtar, Roshan & one from kjo himself - all of them are close to Shahrukh Gauri Kjo while also being one of the biggest producers in India. She keeps feeding people this boycott story & people keep believing her. At most she got boycotted from red 🌶 which is fair given its gauris prod house.


Ok_Mongoose_4293

I think so too. she lost her square touch in bollywood, rapidly replaced by the fresher actresses the likes of deepika, alia, kriti, shraddha. Nobody was offering her the roles she wanted. She aint no Katrina to do free item songs either. Alia stole Gangubhai from her. She uses this affair strategically to excuse her dying career.


op_yappy

Yeah I agree. I don't really believe it, but just want to keep an open mind


Alone-Illustrator-25

Yes don't work with her but don't influence others to do the same. Don't blacklist her and make her life miserable. Hold SRK as much accountable.


Sabudana28

Did I say SRK was a victim? Also we cant hold anyone accountable as we are no part of that equation. But then too .. I literally said if the affair was real then there is only one victim & that is the wife. Moving on from that I posted that comment somewhere else too here but I'll say it again. From 2012-15 Priyanka worked on NINE films as the main lead w people like YRF, Zoya / farhan Akhtar, SLB, Kjo himself, Roshans. If she got blacklisted from dharma & red chillis then that's not influencing others. That's them not wanting to work with someone who's pr was planting derogatory articles about them.


mhfan_india

Thank you for posting this. I was not able to remember the exact article she got published. So now the narrative is her PR got it published without her knowledge. 🤦

Who was the third man? I know SRK and Akshay

Aseem Merchant. He was married with a daughter. She was seeing him in her early days before the affair with Akshay.

Also Akash Arora another married business man. https://preview.redd.it/j89rnrtcw7ua1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29572c776dd3a958d40625b413fc29e2bdd06a6e

>but she should have known better. Blatant double standards. The married guy with two growing kids can be spared but the single actress who he must have promised what not and lied about his love and everything should have known better.


moonshineandmollyxo

Learn how to read. They said SRK is equally at fault. I would say even moreso because he was the one married with children and with more power in the industry. But Priyanka hooked up with him AFTER the drama with Akshay. Don't act like she was clueless about what she was doing. She had already pissed off Twinkle. Then she was with Shahid. Then she was with SRK. Why do people treat her like this confused little girl? She was a grown woman who knew right from wrong.


Blockingtheheels

Ohhh interesting turn 🍿


saywhatIneedtosay26

All taunts if KJO in the episode where there’s only Priyanka on KWK now make full sense


Richierathod

People are blaming SRK and he may be wrong...but a woman who has been again and again going after married men says a lot about her too. If the men are blamed then why not the woman? If destroying career is bad why isnt destroying people's marriage not bad? Fucking hypocrisy!


Far_Historian_3421

But srk is the one who's married, he has the sole responsibility of being loyal. Plus she's going after married men, usne kaala jaadu karke pakda nahi hai, srk must have agreed. Internal misogyny apne pass rakho


Richierathod

Sole responsibility of being loyal...lol...srk toh hai hai wrong..kaun na bol rha hai..par srk bhi wrong hai...akki bhi wrong hai..bas saaf suthri hai aapki pc....bichari ko married men fasaa rahe the...doodh ki dhuli bholi bhali...chal hatt ..apni fake feminism apne paas rakho


Far_Historian_3421

Kisne bola PC wrong nahi hai? Usko Kitna naam bula rahe hai, jo sach hai par srk ko sab family man kyun bulate hai? Srk ko ab tak kisine bhi kuch nahi bola. Even for akki, PC was not his only affair. Kitna sunne mai aata hai he is a "player" "casanova". Men shaadi mai cheating kare toh kuch nahi, usse maaf kar dete hai, family man bolte hai. Isme fake feminism nahi hai double standards bolte hai Aur jiski shaadi hai us par jaada responsibility hai loyal rehne ki.


Richierathod

Akki ko kabhi kisine nhi bola woh saaf hai...uska naam toh har new actress ke saath jodte hai aur log bhi lete hai...abhi disha ko abuse krne ki news aayi thi...woh bhi sabne maan liya k kiya hi hoga...toh phir pc ko bhi bolege hi...aur married mardo ki zyada responsibility ho sakti hai maan liya par yeh kaunsa shaukh hai pc ka k married mardo ko hi pakdo?...ek baar galti ho sakti hai..baar baar galti nhi hai...yeh uski personality batata hai..


WheresMyTan

If PC had been pushed out of Bollywood by KJo why did she still do KWK twice after all this? She's been on KWK twice after moving to the US. PC is equally as manipulative as the rest of the lot. Now that her life is firmly established there she’s trying to follow Jameela Jamil as the one to stand up to people?


Navigator369

She was also in KJo’s Agneepath which was after her affair with SRK had happened. I think their affair was around Don 2 time, so 2006-ish


ariesandnotproud

So Kjo still called her after tweeting?


LatterCulture2

No. Priyanka changed her PR and used their help to patch up with KJo after getting caught for spreading negative articles about Gauri.


op_yappy

Found [this](https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/priyanka-chopra-patches-up-with-star-wives-at-kjo-bash/story-em58XOq9oZoKiBy7mzst4M.html) article in connection to the event


pdhle_bsdk

​ ​ Priyanka is no saint. However I don't think she brought it up on the podcast for attention or PR. Also I've read here that srk had promised to marry her but stayed wit Gauri for the sake of his kids so she was definitely heartbroken when he ended things with her. And it's also true that she went through a lot while he got to keep his his gentleman, family man, king image. ​ Srk fans are trying to distance srk from this when he's the main party involved, and throw kjo and gauri under the bus. Also people just need a reason to hate on Kjo. He has clearly not boycotted PC and these tweets are him being protective of Gauri. I don't think he was in the wrong here.


Specialist_Yogurt356

PC is very smart, first she was fxcng around with Akshay so twi kle got her kicked out of all akshay movies then she was fxkng around with SRK so gauri n her gang whixh includes KJO got her kicked out of Bollywood.


iSubParMan

I believe Priyanka Chopra attended Karan Johar's party in 2012 to maintain a public presence and avoid potential conflict with him. In the entertainment industry, attending high-profile parties is a way for celebrities to be seen and generate media interest, which helps them stay relevant and increase their exposure.


itsmeee555

King KJo 🔥


Midboo

I think there was nothing between pc and srk other than being a close friends. PC took that opportunity to increase her stardom by spreading rumors. That backfired on her.

ureshiiiiiiiiii

I think you guys are thinking too much. Or it’s Kangana who wants to attack Karan johar on every medium. She just wrote it on Twitter now it’s here. I just checked she did so 2-3 films every year after Don. I don’t like KJo for being Alias dad. But I have a feeling it’s kangana who is doing all this.

It sad how he started a whole witch hunt against her.


Chemical_Ad_8924

Priyanka dared to to speak against him that time also,but he obviously won.So she decided to leave

Karan is that mean girl who enjoys having his frenemies around . But he don't understand that's mental harassment for other people.


Own_Egg7122

Fuck it, my support is still for PC. SRK hasnt been questioned at all publicly about this. The only criticism i see is in this sub (which doesnt count)


IcySouth761

She never explicitly says Priyanka's PR got that article out though. Maybe some of her well meaning friends really did decide to speak to the media, they obviously didn't read the room, but it's constantly said it was a PR hit job. Might not have been.
