"There is a dark hole sometimes because I have this hyper-ambition about the type of artist or actor I want to be, and you know, in India, I'm not valued that much for this intensity," Priyanka said.

"There are different ways of thinking and casting in Bollywood, and I'm not the prototype who has been say, a model turned wannabe actor - a beauty queen who's come into acting." The actress added.

"I sometimes I feel very left out because I'm just different in my sensibilities... but I keep beating the same drum saying, listen, look at me now, I am here to offer 110 per cent. So when a project like 'Lion' comes up I'm like, 'Okay, I've been waiting to exhale for all this time'," Priyanka stated.

Priyanka also said that how she managed to perform that critical scene when Saroo (Patel) reunites with his mother after such a long time.

"That scene was their reunion after an entire lifetime. Garth, Dev and I workshopped a lot prior, and Dev and I got to know each other very intimately, in a very beautiful way. Then Garth made sure we didn't see each other for about four days." Added Priyanka Bose.
