Priyanka Chopra, who has projects in India and North America, is ready to dominate the global scene.
Abroad she is busy with her American show Quantico, while back home in India she the film Bajirao Mastani up for release.
“If I have to dominate globally then I have to pay the price for it. I have to manage things. It was my choice to do the things that I am doing and be responsible towards it,” Chopra said.
“It is a big show in the US. I am an Indian star first then an international personality,” she added.
Managing two major projects does, however, take its toll.
“I am proud of all the work I am doing. I am physically tired. My mother says when you are young you should work very hard,” Chopra said.
The Fashion actress said she was the first person to be cast in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani.
“I did the film for Sanjay sir and I have just followed him. I was the first person to be cast in this film. I was shooting for Mary Kom and Sanjay sir told me about Bajirao Mastani and he was clear he wanted me in it,” she said.
In this epic romance, Ranveer Singh plays Peshwa Bajirao and Deepika Padukone is Mastani while Chopra plays the role of Kashibai.
“I loved this character of Kashibai. It is a heart-breaking part. It was a challenge to do a film on a person on whom little information is available. People talk about this great love story [of Bajirao and Mastani] but what about the love of Kashibai?” she asked.
