Bollywood's feisty actress Priyanka Chopra has been known to wear her heart on her sleeves and lead the way throughout.
Despite of making her debut in the industry almost a decade back, the actress is still going strong in the circuit. She still features in the list of top actresses of Bollywood and is proud of her journey.
PC has been careful with the choices that she has made in films and stands by those. But she is smart enough to not let success hit her head as she knows where she deserves a credit and where she doesn't.
In fact, she goes on record to claim that she cannot take credit for the success of male centric films that she has been a part of.
"Why should you credit heroines, who are riding on the back of a hero saying that they are 100-crore heroines? You can't give me credit for 'Don' or 'Krrish 3," said Priyanka.
The actress is proud that her films in past have managed to get her the due recognition. "I think 'Fashion' was, and despite being an adult film and having 'Golmaal Returns' as competition, it took a good opening. And then, I did '7 Khoon Maaf' and 'What's Your Raashee?' that did not do well. And now, I am doing 'Madamji'. Box office is king. I don't understand the business of films and have never looked at numbers, but, yes, I will bear the brunt of this film. But also, I want to create a space, where I make at least one good film a year where you see the trailer and say, 'I want to see this film," she added.
However, she is unfazed about the competition she gets from other top guns who are currently riding high on commercial success.
"So if a girl does a big film with heroes, only then she becomes a No. 1 heroine? To me, that is not the testament of it. A lot of the films that I have done in my career are not piggybacking on the heroes. I have done the Krrishs and the Dons, but that is not what my career is about. My career is about the work I do. I live life on my terms. When I came, my contemporaries were very different and now, my contemporaries are very different," she states to make her point.
