I'm accountable to my parents: Priyanka

"We haven't really spent that much on it. No, it isn'tan expensive film," said the 28-year-old who enjoys being one of the topactresses in Bollywood.It wasn't easy for Priyanka to go through seven different looks and emotions in "7 Khoon Maaf", which is directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. On top of it there were all those stories about the intimate scenes with her leading men. "After seeing the film, I've had peopleask, 'Where is the kissing scene with John (Abraham), the love scene with Neil(Nitin Mukesh)?' Did I say there were love-making scenes? The one really lengthybedroom sequence I have was with Irrfan (Khan) and that was done in asalwar-kameez. It was hardly pleasant. For the love-making sequence with AnuKapoor, I wasn't even present on the sets," she said.The near-seduction sequence with Vivaan Shah was also done with a body-double. And Priyanka selected the body! "The bare back had to be that of a50-year old woman. My back just wouldn't have worked. I was shown dozens ofbacks. I finally chose one that I thought would pass off one which I thoughtcould be my back when I am 50. The hardest part of '7 Khoon Maaf' was ageing infront of the camera without props."There was a lot of improvisationon location of "7 Khoon Maaf". "That moment when I slap myself infront of the mirror? It wasn't even there in the script! I was supposed to breakdown in front of the mirror. I suggested I slap myself," said Priyanka, who issure she cannot get into a role without preparation. "I am doing'Agneepath' and 'Barfee' back-to-back. I've set aside time for preparation. Iexpect a certain surprise element from myself in every role that I play," saidthe actress who wowed her fans with her performance in "Kaminey" and "Fashion".In fact, the latter fetched her first prestigious National Award.Therecent weeks have not been too easy on the former beauty queen, what with theincome tax raid in her house and reports that Shahid Kapoor opened Priyanka'sthe door to the officials in his shorts.Commenting on the incident,Priyanka said: "First of all, my maidservant opened the door for the officials.Yes, I did immediately call Shahid because he was the closest to me.
