Priyanka Chopra's Quotes
"Well, marriages are made in heaven. God has destined us to pair with someone. I shall be married too like any other person. I am fully conscious of it."
"I won't mind exposing on the demand of the script."
"Sensuality is a state of the mind."
"I'm not only scared of being branded a lucky mascot but also of being typecast as the girl next door."
"I think everyone has her own comfort level. We all have our priorities and USPs. When you're young, you need to cash in on your assets, whatever they might be. If they can sleep peacefully after what they do, good for them. I wouldn't do such roles because I'm not comfortable doing them. If I wear a swimsuit my discomfort would show, and the whole sensuality bit would fall apart."
"You know, there are some screen pairs that people don't forget, like Anil Kapoor-Madhuri, Shah Rukh-Kajol...and what's interesting is that even after two years, people remember Shahid and me as a great screen pair."
"No way! Just like there was no fire on the sets of 'MHN' with a diva like Sushmita Sen. There's no denying that Bipasha is very sexy, but we have such defined roles in the film that there's no scope for rivalry. Besides, we got along very well. I think I have this strange bonding with Bongs - first Sushmita and now Bipasha!"
"I haven't worked with her, but I'm totally comfortable with her and I think she is, too. Bebo is a cool girl."
"I'm choosy because you have to see to believe what kind of scripts filmmakers come up with - they are hilariously silly! I can't imagine from where they think of such stories; at times like that, you almost feel that Hindi cinema hasn't moved for decades. Out of so many that I hear, there might be only one or two worth considering. There's no choice but to be choosy."
"It does hurt reading malicious articles especially when people know who you are. I guess I will have to learn to take things in my stride"
