IT SEEMS as if the Filmfare award has had a humbling effect on Priyanka Chopra. Though she still makes scribes wait for long, nonetheless she makes up for it with "extremely sorry".
"I was very tired," she reasons.
What makes her happy about it is that it is "performance-oriented and yet stylised". She plays the wife of John Abraham. Both get separated and it becomes emotionally draining for them to cope without each other. "I used to go through an emotional turmoil, sometimes even after the take was over. Though I believe one should leave the character on the sets before going home, with this film it did not always happen. Memories of shots used to haunt me even at night," says Priyanka. Such was her involvement with the film. In a scene where she tries to kill herself, she "actually cut her veins with a knife", she recalls. And she feebly admits: "I am a very emotional person".
Her character in Aitraaz has won her the Filmfare award for a negative role, but she is not going to repeat the role. "If the audience see me as a seductress twice, how will they accept me in a wife's role? So I am making conscious choices of my roles. My career graph in just two years in the industry boasts of different roles in every film. It feels good, but also adds a sense of responsibility as producers sign me with great expectations," she says.
Now Yaqeen, Barsat and Waqt are her upcoming releases this year. Before one asks her about her role, she chuckles, "All three are so different."
