Of her role and award for Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, Chopra says: "I will sleep with my award all night. Each of these awards has come in after a lot of hard work and sacrifice. And it is a tradition with me to sleep and cuddle them all night."
The actress, who made her debut in 2004 with Andaaz, was shooting for Yash Raj's Pyaar Impossible in Singapore and was the last guest arrive in Macau for the nternational Indian Film Awards.
"I was shooting till 2am in the morning before I could catch my flight and make it for the IIFAs. Being so close to Macau, I would have felt terrible if I would have had to miss it," she said.
Clutching the award tightly in her hand, Chopra, a self-confessed workaholic, said: "I like to keep busy every day. The concept of an off day is alien to me. I am happiest when my day is jammed with things to do."
Chopra's next release is Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey, slated to be released on August 14.
She also has Ashutosh Gowarikar's What's Your Rashee? coming up this year. As usual, it is an action packed year ahead for the former Miss World.
