Sonam Kapoor honing her dancing skills

She was plump and overweight when Sanjay Leela Bhansali told her that she would be his heroine in ‘Saawariya’. She hit the gym with vengeance and transformed herself into an attractive, shapely girl in a matter of months.

Talking about Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam Kapoor, the petite girl is debuting with Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’. Now she is adding to her excellence by learning dances from Latin America. Sonam has been taking dancing lessons in salsa, samba, rumba, cha cha cha and waltz from dance expert Sandip Soparrkar for a couple of months now. Of these, Sonam excels best in rumba, a soft, sensuous dance from Cuba.

Priyanka Chopra suffers a muscle tear

Priyanka Chopra tore a muscle while filming a stunt for her action-packed role in ‘Drona’. “I was doing a somersault when I felt something give way inside my rib cage. I’ve apparently suffered a tear in my abs,” the actress said.

However, the gal is too dedicated to rest and let her work suffer. Her schedule next week has dance scenes and more stunts for the film.“It’s so painful. I’ve no choice but to continue. I don’t know how I’ll manage,” says Chopra.

The movie ‘Drona’ has Priyanka playing a bodyguard skilled in an ancient Sikh martial art, wielding a sword and a kirpan . Abhishek Bachchan plays a superhero, and Kay Kay Menon is the villain.
