Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas are two of the most accomplished actresses in Bollywood. Both actresses are beautiful, talented, and proud ‘Miss World’ titleholders. While both are considered from a different era, filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker once was upset with Priyanka over bagging an award.

Back in 2009 during the IFFA award, the desi girl won the best actress award for her performance in Fashion. Aishwarya was too nominated in the same category for her role in Jodha Akbar, which was helmed by Gowariker. However, Priyanka bagged the award and it did not go down well with the filmmaker.

Soon after Ashutosh Gowariker went on stage to accept the Best Director award for Jodha Akbar. As reported by IBTimes, the filmmaker brought up the issue on the stage saying, “Priyanka I love you, but I don’t know how you got the award for Best Actress when Aishwarya was also nominated in the same category for Jodhaa Akbar.” His remark took everyone by surprise.
