The actress recently won Favourite Actress for television at the People Choice Award recently!
Much has been said about global star Priyanka Chopra, who knows no stopping when it comes to work. The actress has been the talk of tinsel town since the time she started working on her international television show Quantico.
PeeCee is the first South-Asian actress to have won the title of Favourite Actress for television at the prestigious People Choice Awards. While speaking to a leading daily the actress stated, “In 2000, I was a 17-year-old who was over the moon at having bagged the Miss World title. Here I am again, feeling blessed and happy at having won this honour for Quantico. For me, the biggest achievement was receiving an honour outside my country. I was truly nervous when I went to the awards function at Los Angeles. I was holding on to mom really tight. I barely knew five people out there, yet everyone seemed to know me. I was shy when they walked up and congratulated me. You know, I have never walked around with bells and whistles. So, it was indeed a pleasant surprise that so many people were acquainted with my work. It’s incredible when your work is recognised. That’s all I’ve ever truly wanted.”
The actress feels she is very much part of the Indian film industry as much as she is of the television industry abroad. “I’m very much a part of the Hindi cinema industry . Of course, I’m away now because we are prepping for the second half of season one of Quantico, which will begin once the winter break, is over. However, Bollywood will always remain my priority .I have managed to achieve what I have only because of all that I have learnt from our prolific industry . I can go on any stage, overcome any obstacle because of the confidence that Bollywood has instilled in me. Frankly, all I want to do is act. It doesn’t matter where my assignment takes me,” she said.
