Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, who feels that Priyanka Chopra looks "hot" with her dusky skin, sang his popular number "Brown rang" for the National Award-winning actress.

On the red carpet of MTV Video Music Awards India 2013, Honey Singh sang his hit song "Brown rang" for Priyanka, and said: "This goes for Priyanka Chopra, she is brown, she is hot."

Priyanka, who is popular as Bollywood's 'desi girl', has also charted her own singing career with her international single "In My City", which released last year.

'Turbanator' Gurpreet Singh Sarin seems to be luckier than Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. The young man of Indian origin, who made it to the top 40 on the "American Idol" reality show, says he didn't face any racial discrimination on his journey to achieving a fusion of Indian classical music and western music.

"I am very thankful I did not face anything like that (racism) from the judges or any other people," the US-based Gurpreet told IANS over the phone from New York.
