Priyanka celebrates quiet birthday

Priyanka Chopra turned 24 in her "quietest" birthday yet. With her father being seriously ill and in and out of hospital, it was a subdued affair with just a handful of friends for dinner on her birthday Monday.
"I guess this must be my quietest birthday ever. With my dad being ill it just didn't feel the same," said the crestfallen birthday girl.
"Besides, I have been shooting 'Bluff Master' with Abhishek Bachchan in the nights. By the time I come home the milk man is making his rounds! Where is the energy to do anything else except sleep?"
What is also tiring Priyanka is correcting people when they ask her about the new version of "Umrao Jaan", a role she is no longer doing.
Asha Bhonsle was recently asked on a news channel whether she would enjoy singing for 'Umrao Jaan Priyanka' in the new version of the renowned courtesan's tale being made by J.P. Dutta.
Laughs Priyanka: "I guess the interviewer was not aware I am no longer doing 'Umrao Jaan'. It is surprising how many people think I am still doing that film, when I am not."
