2009
was
an
eventful
year
for
Priyanka
Chopra.
She
played
as
many
as
12
roles
in
What's
Your
Raashee?
but
the
film
failed
to
take
off.
On
the
other
hand,
she
had
less
than
12
scenes
in
Kaminey
and
not
just
did
the
film
turn
out
to
be
a
success
but
in
the
process
also
fetched
Priyanka
quite
some
accolades
and
appreciation.
In
the
uncertain
world
of
Bollywood,
Priyanka
isn't
willing
to
differentiate
between
big
and
small.
This
is
the
reason
why
after
working
in
relatively
bigger
budget
films
like
Dostana
and
Fashion
and
sharing
screen
space
with
top
stars,
she
doesn't
mind
being
the
leading
lady
of
Uday
Chopra
who
is
making
a
comeback
of
sorts
with
Pyaar
Impossible.
In
a
conversation
with
us,
Priyanka
shares
her
point
of
view
on
how
all
actors
are
small
if
the
bigger
picture
of
a
film
as
a
whole
is
taken
into
account,
how
she
copes
with
failure
and
why
in
spite
of
being
in
the
industry
for
more
than
half
a
decade;
she
continues
to
be
a
director's
actor.
There
aren't
many
big
names
involved
in
Pyaar
Impossible
except
for
the
fact
that
the
film
marks
your
entry
into
Yash
Raj
Films.
Really,
what
made
you
sign
the
film?
Why
are
you
forgetting
the
most
integral
part
about
filmmaking
-
the
script?
You
seem
to
be
conveniently
ignoring
the
fact
that
a
film
is
not
made
of
just
stars
and
banners.
It
requires
a
definite
story
and
this
is
where
Pyaar
Impossible
wins.
I
really
like
the
film's
basic
plot
about
a
nerdy
guy
falling
in
love
with
a
glam
girl.
Believe
me
when
I
say
that
I
after
Dostana,
I
had
most
fun
working
in
Pyaar
Impossible.
With
Uday
and
director
Jugal
Hansraj
around,
you
must
have
felt
like
the
senior
most
in
Pyaar
Impossible,
right?
Seems
like
you
had
quite
some
responsibility
on
your
shoulders.
Well,
if
you
look
at
it
this
way
then
perhaps
Manish
Malhotra
(the
costume
designer
of
the
film)
was
the
senior
most
of
the
lot
(laughs).
See,
one
should
not
be
generalising
things
this
way
that
who
was
the
senior
most
and
who
was
the
junior
of
the
lot.
It's
a
learning
process
and
it
all
happens
on
the
job.
Aah,
now
you
are
being
diplomatic...
Arrey
nahi.
See
when
I
started
doing
films,
I
had
no
idea
what
had
to
be
done
in
front
of
the
camera.
I
was
just
19
and
a
blank
piece
of
paper.
I
wasn't
formally
trained
on
acting
and
had
no
Godfather
to
help
me
out.
This
is
why
I
said
that
I
had
to
do
it
all
on
the
job.
Over
the
years
I
had
the
fortune
to
work
with
people
who
helped
me
grow
as
an
actor.
Till
date
I
consider
myself
as
a
director's
actor.
Even
after
30
odd
films?
Pretty
much
so.
I
am
not
confident
to
do
it
all
by
myself.
I
need
a
director
to
help
me
get
the
overall
effect
bang
on.
Otherwise
if
came
with
the
capability
of
calling
the
shots,
toh
kya
main
khud
director
nahi
ban
jaati!
As
someone
who
hands
herself
over
to
the
director,
don't
you
feel
hurt
when
even
a
brilliant
act
of
yours
goes
relatively
unnoticed,
case
in
point
being
What's
Your
Raashee?
See,
an
actor
is
a
very
small
part
of
a
film.
As
an
actor
I
can't
do
much
if
a
film
of
mine
doesn't
work.
But
then
if
people
come
out
of
a
theatre
and
say
that
they
hated
my
performance
then
I
would
be
truly
shattered.
I
would
want
to
go
back
and
check
that
what
really
went
wrong.
I
got
some
great
reviews
for
What's
Your
Raashee?
and
that
was
soothing
to
an
extent.
You
must
have
still
felt
sad.
After
all
a
lot
of
hard
work
had
seemingly
gone
in
getting
into
the
skin
of
the
character,
in
this
case
as
many
as
12
of
them!
Sad?
That's
an
understatement.
I
was
heartbroken.
I
really
wept
a
lot
when
the
film
didn't
work.
After
Pyaar
Impossible,
you
would
be
seen
in
Siddharth
Anand
directed
Anjaana
Anjaani
(with
Ranbir
Kapoor)
followed
by
Vishal
Bhardwaj's
next
(yet
untitled)
directorial
outing.
In
last
two
years,
you
have
had
eight
of
your
films
releasing.
Don't
you
ever
feel
like
cutting
down
on
work
and
taking
a
deep
breath?
Really,
I
enjoy
those
days
the
most
when
I
am
shooting
for
films
and
commercials
or
doing
any
other
work
which
is
worthwhile
and
keeps
me
busy.
Mujhe
woh
craving
hoti
hi
nahi
ki
chalo,
mein
ek
week
thoda
rest
kar
loon
ya
holiday
par
chali
jaaon.
I
don't
consider
work
as
a
burden
at
all.
Meanwhile
you
were
also
not
keeping
too
well
all
through
2009
as
well.
Really
Priyanka,
what's
happening
to
your
health?
Isn't
it
too
much
of
work.
It
wasn't
that
bad
actually.
There
was
this
stomach
infection
a
few
weeks
back
but
that's
absolutely
fine
now.
Otherwise
I
kept
myself
really
busy
all
through
the
year
and
if
you
ask
me,
this
is
the
way
I
like
things
to
be.
It
gives
me
tremendous
pleasure
and
I
get
my
highest
high
on
those
days
when
I
crash
on
bed
dead
tired.
