After her successful stint on American TV series "Quantico", Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has returned to India and she says it is lovely to be back home.
The 33-year-old actress played the series' protagonist Alex Parrish and has received rave reviews for her role.
Now, Priyanka, whose film "Bajirao Mastani" has just released, will spend the year end period here.
Priyanka is seen mouthing some intense dialogues in
impeccable Hindi, something she did not find hard to do.
"I grew up in UP and I was born in Bihar so my Hindi is good. My mother knows both Hindi and Urdu. We speak the language at home. I was very happy that I got a chance to speak such good Hindi because usually we speak Hinglish in our films.
"My character Abha comes from Lucknow. There is a softness in her language but her diction is very clear. It is my job as an actor pull off all kind of roles."
She has interesting company in her co-star as Jha, besides directing, makes his full-fledged acting debut as a cop with dubious morality in the film.
Priyanka says she had a gala time bullying the director as he is her junior when it comes to acting.
"He was bullied throughout the film a lot because it was his first movie (as an actor) but he took it in his stride. It was a lot of fun to have your director as your co-star. He has done a phenomenal job. I don't think anyone could have done a justice to the role."
Priyanka has become an assured performer and she credits her directors for instilling that confidence in her.
"The credit for my acting goes to all the filmmakers who gave me such varied roles, they were my film school.
"Also, I never take my work for granted. I take every character seriously and try and give my best whether it is small or big.
