Bollywood actress Priyanka Kothari has not forgotten her Delhi days. Priyanka, who has acted in movies like Agyaat and Sarkar, on a recent visit to Delhi, told us that she is a Delhi University alumnus. Well almost...Priyanka was a student of Chemistry at Delhi University’s Dyal Singh College. If her choice of subject has come as a shock, let’s tell you that her businessman father deals in chemicals.
Despite the incentive of a degree and a secure future, she did not complete her graduation – as modelling and Bollywood came calling midway.
And anyway, she admits that all she wanted to do was have as much fun during college as she could. She says, “I was never that much into studies. I chose that college because I believed I could have fun while being there.” Priyanka was a consistent bunker and loved to watch movies, like any average teenager with B-town dreams.
She says, “I was always awed by the big Bollywood movie posters that were splashed across the city. I’d always go and watch all the movies. In fact, as frequently as possible.” That is why, she’d never have the time to attend lectures, says Priyanka! She also loved the Lodhi Road vicinity and would often take long strolls on that stretch. Even now I miss that, says Priyanka wistfully.
