I did Barfi where everyone said you wouldnt look glamorous: Priyank

Mumbai: Often with stardom comes a
feeling of loneliness, but not for
Priyanka Chopra, as the actress says
that her loved ones are always by her
side.
After starting out with a Tamil film in
2002, Priyanka worked in Bollywood
before making her way to the West
with her song and then the American
crime-thriller Quantico'.
"I am not at all lonely. I have incredible
support, from friends, family, and
colleagues. That's why I can do so
many (things). Most of my career
choices are a gamble. Doing 'Aitraaz' (a
negative role) as one of my first few
films, doing 'Fashion' when no one
was doing women-oriented films. I did
'Barfi' where everyone said you
wouldn't look glamorous. Music,
'Quantico', no one's done that. I can
only do that because I have so much
support," Priyanka told PTI.
The 34-year-old actress says she knows
there will be a time when things might
go downhill, but she will continue to
work as long as people want to see
her.
"I've known that (about downfall) since
I did my first film. There are some
things that are very constant in the
world. Birth, death, up, down. It'll
happen to everyone, to me, to you, to
the biggest of actors. It's meant to
happen at some point. As long as
people watch me, I'll work," she says.
Priyanka says be it her show or her
upcoming Hollywood debut Baywatch',
she did not want to prove a point, but
simply explore other possibilities.
"When I was new, I worked hard and
have finally reached a stage where
people know me because of my work.
In America, people know me now
because of the show. It was never that
I wanted to go there and 'jhande gaad
doon.' I only wanted to work," added
the Barfi' actress.
Priyanka says like any other artiste, she
has to go and audition for her roles, as
there is no one handing out work to
her in Hollywood.
