Rohit Saraf reveals the story behind Priyanka Chopra wearing a wig
The Mismatched actor told us, “We were shooting for our first proper schedule together in The Sky Is Pink. The entire crew was wrapped and there was a mini-wrap party. I did not wrap it as I was still shooting in London on my last day. We were shooting the tube station scene on my last day and the night before, we went to Soho, London. At that time I went up to PeeCee and said that I wanted to take a photo with you as I’m a huge fan. After 7 days of shooting, I told her that ‘I’m a huge fan of you.“
“Can I take a photograph with you’? She said, ‘Of course.’ She is so cool. That night when she walked into that bar, she was wearing a wig and I was like, ‘Wow, she looks so cool but why did she cut her hair though‘? And that time, I said ma’am can we take a picture and then she removed her wig,” he recalled.

He continued, “And this was the night when she said one of the kindest things to me. I said, ‘I’m not going to drink, I’m not going to eat’ because I was shooting a really important scene the next day and I don’t want to screw up at all. I want to go back to the hotel and I want to learn my lines as it was a monologue.’ And she was like ‘Why are you so nervous?’ I said, ‘Because it is an important scene of my character.’ Then she said, ‘You’re here because you’re fit for the job and you deserve to be here, so you need to stop freaking out so much. Just have a good time and tomorrow go for a run, you’re prepared. We have done this scene before, you’ll be absolutely fine.’ I had the best night.“
