Everyone knows Ashutosh Gowariker doesn’t take too kindly to jibes at artistes at award functions. But what happens when he is accused of doing this? We hear that at the IIFA held in Macau last month, the man went on stage and openly told Priya nka Chopra that he was shocked she had received the award for best actress for “Fashion” when it should have been definitely Aishwarya Rai for his film “Jodhaa Akbar”. While a shocked Priyanka smiled through it all, the channel that telecast it was smart enough to erase out the embarrassing portions. Ashu be careful, in case you forgot, Priyanka is your lead in “What’s Your Rashee”?
