No one is "Agyaat" about Nisha, oops Priyanka Kothari. But what one might be "Agyaat" about is the fact that the lady with "The Killer" look was in town for a shoot. Not one before the camera, mind you, but one where she will be 'shoot'ing from the mouth. Get the picture?

Well, here are the details. The actor was in the city to campaign for Dr Nirmal Majhi, a TMC candidate contesting from North Uluberia. What's more, buzz is that this Kolkata girl will be getting into this action mode in designerwear. More particularly, Abhishek Dutta's creations.

Says the designer, "Priyanka had walked for me at a fashion week. She had told me to design an outfit during her campaign stint in the city. Time was a crunch and I tried to come up with something that would suit the climatic and campaigning weather here. Hence, it's a colourful anarkali kurta in pink and blue with leggings and a net dupatta for her."

It's no secret that Priyanka had been invited from the party to come to Kolkata. Says the actor, "The moment I landed here, I realized that the winds of change are blowing strong." Ask her what she thinks of Didi and Priyanka answers, " Mamata Banerjee is a storehouse of energy. I met her once, but tab itna bat nahi hua. This time, I want to meet her. I know that she has a chock-a-block schedule but I'm still going to give it a chance." Priyanka also adds, "Being a woman, I'd love to see Didi in power. That apart, I firmly believe that she has it in her to take the reins in her hand." Naturally then, if Mamata wins the election, Priyanka plans to revisit her hometown. "I'll be here to promote my upcoming film " Bin Bulaye Baraat" ." But what's campaigning got to do with a designer wardrobe, one wonders. "It always feels good to look good. Also, Abhishek is a good friend. So, I am feeling confident campaigning in his outfit," she signs off.

Way to "Go", Priyanka!
