Mumbai, Sep 15 (IANS) More and more denizens of the Indian entertainment industry are getting to know the true value of their homeland. Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan have said no to a number of Hollywood assignments where they've felt they aren't likely to fit in properly.Now, it's Priyanka Chopra's turn. She has declined to do Ashok Amritraj's international cross-cultural love story.Though Priyanka declines to comment on the issue, a source close to her said: "It was basically a budget issue. Though it was an American production, the budget of Amritraj's film was half of what we spend for a fairly lavish Bollywood film like Krrish or Drona.
"Priyanka just didn't see the point in stretching herself to do this film just because it was an international project."

Shweta Tiwari's hubby in rehabilitation centre
Television actress Shweta Tiwari's 'bitter-half' Raja Choudhary recently swooped down on the Balaji premises with a gun in his hand, threatening to kill himself.
"But it turned out to be a toy gun," said a source.
Though matters did turn pretty ugly at the Balaji studios, the incident served as a flashpoint. And the violent-tempered husband with a drinking problem has now checked into a rehabilitation centre.
"In fact, Shweta is now taking him to Delhi for further treatment. She's playing the dutiful devoted wife to the hilt, taking time off from her shooting to attend to him, and now accompanying him to Delhi," added the source.
So Shweta is ready to give her marriage one more shot?
A source close to the actress discounts that possibility completely, saying: "Shweta is only there to help her husband get back on his feet. The divorce is definitely on."
