Beauty with Brains

There is a show called Heartbeats on Star One. It is just a game show, but the difference between this one and numerous others running on TV is that, here it is not time that matters, but the cool temperament and presence of mind of the player that is more important to win. In other words, the formula of winning is very easier. The calmer the player is, the easier it is to win.

I was very excited to know that Priyanka Chopra, Former Miss World and Bollywood Actress participating in the game show. I like Priyanka Chopra not only as a model and actress but also personally after reading about her from magazines. She may not be the striking beauty as Aishwarya is, but as a woman, I feel she is much better than Aishwarya. I feel she is one of the living examples who can be projected to the world as an ideal Indian woman. J

Coming back to the show, Priyanka came in with dashing looks as usual and started taking questions with a cool and not-so-nervous attitude. Her heartbeat was almost within 90 per min throughout the show. I have seen women scream, shout, yell and do all sorts of non-sense in game shows, but Priyanka was calm but excited at the same time.

Question after question she used her lifelines wisely and nicely progressed on the money ladder. Many answers she knew on her own and the lifeline help was just a confirmation act. After reaching 7 lakhs and opting for cash question with a banked heartbeat count of over 2000, it was a easy task for her to win the cash. She laughed out loud on seeing first cash question asking “Which of these heroines were smooched by Emraan Hashmi on screen?”

Completing the final double money question on food items with her mother’s help and in her own style, the beauty took away 14 lakh rupees of cash from the show. And also the hearts of thousands of viewers... ;-) It was indeed a live demonstration to the world that beautiful women have great brains and more than that, she proved that a woman can stay with controlled emotions in any situation. Hats off Priyanka!!!

@Bala: Not all questions were about films, only 2 or 3 of them.. and even if it was so, it is not necessary that she should be knowing all. Inspite of being Cricket commentator for so long, Harsha Bhogle struggled for answering cricket related questions in the show :-)

@Venky: I didn't talk much about her filmy achievements here.. it was only abt that show and her personal character. Even if I consider films, her career graph is more better than Aishwarya Rai and any day, she is a much better actress than Ash.. :P

And what I liked the most was the way she had control on her mind inspite of being a woman(Normally my impression is that most women are sensitive and emotional)...

Kambli on the show was yelling the name of Christ every other minute and his heartbeats touched a dangerous high of 140 per min while he was answering :-)
