A press statement is been issued by Malaika Arora Khan of her being a brand ambassador of a Swedish cosmetics company and not that of Ponds. It seems she was a part of the launch event, but not to endorse the products but only to perform at the event. The statement reads out - Model and actress Malaika Arora Khan, brand ambassador of ORIFLAME was there just to perform at the event. The rumours about Malaika endorsing Ponds are untrue. She confirms, “I am the brand ambassador and spokesperson for Oriflame India. I was present at the Hindustan Unilever event on 17th April 2008 as a performer. I was not there to launch or to endorse any product of Ponds (product of Hindustan Unilever), but only for performance. The organizers have misled the media / press to believe that I am endorsing PONDS which never was the case.”

Malaika kept reticent on the whole issue, “I don’t understand where all these stories are emanating from. I only endorse Oriflame India, natural Swedish cosmetics company and will continue doing so. I have long term association with Oriflame and I am very happy with it.”

So, now it should be clear for the people at large and also those who must have ignited this thought about Malaika being a celebrity endorsing one brand i.e. Oriflame and not the other - Ponds.

Here is a good news for Priyanka Chopra’s fans. They will get to see Priyanka in a new avatar in Madhur Bhandarkar upcoming flick Fashion. She is portraying a popular model who gets pregnant at the climax. Her pregnancy scene is quite controversial and has already gathered much media attention.

The director refuted the news that Fashion is based on the real life incident of a top model. It is even rumored that Priyanka had some differences with Madhur regarding her pregnancy scene and wanted him to change the climax as it would form a wrong impression on her image. To her demand, he has made some changes keeping the theme intact.

Priyanka had cut her weight to a great amount to fit to the role as she is playing the role of a model. Her role in Fashion is quite challenging and Madhur had portrayed her totally in a new style. Kangna Ranaut will play another important character. Last year was not quite promising for her as Salaam-E-Ishq and Big Brother failed to click at the box office. However, 2008 is looking good for her as Goldie Behl’s Drona and Harry Baweja’s Love story 2050 will hit the silver screen.
