Year 2012 has proved to be a successful one for Priyanka Chopra. The alleged actor’s debut song has been nominated in the newly created 'mosquito repellent' category at the World Music Awards. The nomination was confirmed by a leading page 3 newspaper that regularly covers Elvis sightings across the US.

And mosquitoes are out of the city

“Coming at a time when the disease dengue is becoming a major epidemic in India and other countries, Priyanka Chopra couldn’t have chosen a better timing for the release of her single, even if she could think. Her song has been found effective in repelling mosquitoes as confirmed by various independent health care NGOs operating in different parts of India. Many civic agencies and NGOs are playing her song in public to drive away mosquitoes. It has also been proven that her song can also change the reproductive cycle and behaviour of mosquitoes rendering them sterile,” the report in the leading daily states.  

Sources have told Humor Unplugged that the song has been downloaded by health care agencies in over 35 countries so far and its use has been found to be particularly effective against mosquitoes belong to species such as Anopheles gambiae, Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens.

“The World Music Awards have created a special category for Priyanka Chopra to recognise her contribution to keeping disease causing pathogens away. This nomination bears testimony to that fact,” the report says quoting a source in WMA.

Humor Unplugged was unable to contact Priyanka Chopra over phone and when we landed at her place, an actor in shorts asked us if we were from the tax department and said she was not in town and he was taking care of her apartment for her while she was away.
