Priyanka Chopra sizzles on stage at IPL-5 opening ceremony

The IPL-5 opening ceremony which happened earlier this week in Chennai saw a large number of big names however the one one that truly set the stage on fire was Priyanka Chopra. Piggy Chops took the packed audience without warning when she went up within the air during her performance.

Looking chic in a black and white sequined top, black pants and a red wrap-around skirt, the actress opened her act along with her popular song 'Aaj Ki Raat'. She displayed her sporty side as she was pulled up within the air with a harness for an aerial act at the Don tune.

The 29-year-old actress mesmerized the audience together with her confidence, and landed at the stage for a power-packed dance at the number 'Dhan Te Nan' from the film Kaminey.

She moved around within the audience, and urged front row members, including cricketers Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh, to bounce along with her. Bhajji, because the latter is lovingly called, was sporting enough to rise up and join her for a jig.

Later, Priyanka took to the stage again to engage with the team-members of Chennai Super Kings including MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina.

She pulled Dhoni's leg, and asked the lads to sign up for her for a dance at the hit Tamil song 'Nakka Mukka'.

The ceremony was opened by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who rendered a soulful poem penned by lyricist Prasoon Joshi. It was followed by a performance by Colonial Cousins, and then Priyanka took centre-stage.
