Priyanka Chopra: My journey hasnt been smooth

Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra, who is riding on a big high as last year brought her not just box office hits but also more awards and accolades, says she is getting lot choosier about her forthcoming celluloid roles.

"Success definitely brings in a lot of responsibility. You are expected to deliver a lot of more with every film that you do. I'm definitely getting choosy about my films now. I am grateful for where I am now as I have reached here on my own. My journey hasn't been all that smooth. I have not been through acting schools, I have made mistakes but
what's most important is that I have learnt from them," Priyanka told DNA.

She adds, "I have worked really hard to be recognised. I put in a lot of effort to do a good job in every film that I am a part of. After working so much, I can't afford to go wrong."

She says smiling, "I have some interesting projects coming up and I'm eagerly waiting for all of them to release."

Her hard work has resulted in her being one of the top actors today with directors making a beeline for her. Though the numero uno crown is only at a touching distance away from her, she still has to sweat it out as the competition is really tough for her.

Two of her closest rivals -- both in terms of looks and box office charm -- are Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. However, Priyanka says at the moment she is only thinking about delivering good performances.

"I don't want to stand and think about these things as I feel it is a very unstable ground. It depends on how consistently you deliver a good performance and how many hits you have. Both hits and flops matter to me as they bring me both joy and sorrow. A film is like your child and if it does well you certainly feel very happy," she ends.
