Ranbir calls Priyanka 'puppy dog'

Looks like Bollywood damsel Priyanka Chopra's actors/co-stars are quite fascinated to coin quirky names for her. Priyanka, who played fiery hot-headed revenge-seeker in DON and its sequel, was fondly referred as 'Junglee Billi' byShahrukh Khan in the film. In fact, Shahrukh went on to call her by that name off-screen as well. And now her co-star in BARFI!, the very charming, Ranbir Kapoorhas come up with a name 'puppy dog' for her. As Ranbir feels Priyanka's character in the film, which is absolutely adorable, is just like a cute little puppy dog.

"PC is playing an autistic girl but she is really like a 'puppy dog' and you can't stop falling in love with her. Her character is absolutely adorable, very cute," says Ranbir while unveiling the first look trailer of his film BARFI!

Priyanka, who was also present at the event, was taken aback with Ranbir's quip and in return said "I am not that bad ki mai uska (Ranbir's) aisa bura haal karungi."

Priyanka has been conferred with several names like Jungli billi, Desi girl, Kaatil Haseena, etc, in the past and she quite delightfully takes it. However, Ranbir's newly coined name is yet to sink in with her. 

"Yes I have been conferred with some interesting names like 'Desi Girl', 'Junglee Billi', etc in the past but I think the worst one which I got was 'Kaatil Haseena' for 7 KHOON MAA....For Puppy Dog, I think I'll have to wrap my head around before a little while to figure out whether it is really cute or not....Meanwhile, I would like to call Ranbir a rock-vieler," Priyanka chuckles.

Directed by Anuarg Basu, BARFI! Introduces a new face Ileena D'Cruz. BARFI! Is all set to release on 14th September 2012.
