Stars are shining bright on her, showering her with luck and success. But all this glory and extol has come at a price and is costing her dearly in terms of her health.The swishy babe recently scared the unit of her forthcoming flick as she fainted during a scene. One look at Priyanka’s 2009 diary and it explains it all. Besides shooting round-the-clock, Priyanka is also keeping busy looking after her parents. Giving a proof of her drained self, the actress passed out while shooting a scene with her ex-beau and current co-star Hurman Baweja.However, it wasn’t Hurman’s drab act that passed her out, but her low energy level. Talking of the incident, a daily quoted a source as saying, “While shooting at a bungalow at Khar, Priyanka unexpectedly collapsed and it was so sudden that none of us moved for a while. We were all shocked and the doctors were quickly summoned.” Confirming the news Priyanka said, “Yes, it’s true. I did pass out on location on Saturday due to over exhaustion and low blood pressure. But more than me, it was my mother who was alarmed.”

Habanos S.A. executives this month said cigar sales fell 8 percent to $360 million in 2009, so they have created the Julieta, a smaller, milder version of the Romeo y Julieta cigar, aimed specifically at female smokers. Women now make up only 5 to 10 percent of customers for Habanos.
