Priyanka Chopra cannot contain her excitement. After all, it is not every day that a person gets to share the stage with Nelly Furtado. Incidentally, Priyanka herself, is fond of singing.

"But I wouldn't dare to open my mouth in front of Nelly," she says, talking amidst a hectic schedule of Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050.

"I'm so nervous. I'll be performing to some of my hit songs. Yeah, I love to sing. Obviously I won't dare to sing with Nelly. But I need to find the time to rehearse my steps.

"I can't go on stage for such a grand occasion without being rhythm-perfect. But man, what a wonderful way to bring in the New Year," she says before rushing for another shot. Priyanka will be sharing the stage with Nelly Furtado at the Andheri Sports Complex on New Year's eve.

She has just returned from the Global Indian Film Awards at Kuala Lumpur where she has been voted the 'Most Searched Bollywood Actress' on the Internet.

She says, "Can you believe it? An award like this is unheard of. It seems like Shah Rukh and I were instrumental in starting a whole new category of awards. I felt very flattered to know that I'm so popular on the Net."
