Priyanka is managing her career both in Bollywood and Hollywood with an aplomb. Abroad she is busy with her American show "Quantico" while back home here in India she has a 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 things that I am doing and be responsible towards it," Priyanka said.
Managing both huge projects - "Quantico" and "Bajirao Mastani" simultaneously - does take a toll on Priyanka's health but she is more happy that she is doing variety of work.
"I am proud of all the work I am doing. It is exciting work that is coming out. I am physically tired. My mother says when you are young you should work very hard," she added.
The "Fashion" actress is looking forward to the release of 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 Priyanka essays the role of Kashibai.
"Except Bajirao, there was not much reference to the
characters of Mastani and Kashibai. I was depended on Sanjay sir for this film," she added.
"I am a big fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This is my third association with him and we are in talks about many more films," she adds.
The historic saga is set to hit theatres on December 18.
