The journey to superstardom often begins with a single believer. For Priyanka Chopra Jonas, that pivotal moment came when producer Suneel Darshan heard an uncanny echo of legendary actress Rekha in her voice during the casting of Andaaz – a revelation that silenced early doubters about her Bollywood potential.
The Voice That Changed Everything
Fresh from Her Miss World 2000 triumph, Priyanka Chopra faced skepticism during Andaaz casting. Producer Suneel Darshan recently recalled: “My first reaction wasn’t ‘wow’ when she walked in.” But during their conversation, he experienced a revelation: “Iski awaaz Rekha ki yaad dilati hai (Her voice reminds me of Rekha). That day I knew – this is Rekha reborn.”
Darshan stood alone in his conviction: “Nobody else involved had faith. They preferred Lara Dutta’s established presence.” His unwavering belief in Priyanka’s Rekha-like vocal quality proved prophetic when her performance as Jiya opposite Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta made Andaaz a box office smash, launching her stellar career.
