Priyanka Chopra has her hands full assuming the various avatars she portrays. But we aren’t talking about the myriad roles she has played in her films thus far. From Daddy’s little girl to Miss Piggy Chops, (nickname courtesy Abhishek Bachchan), to the poster child for workaholics anonymous, she has quite a repertoire of identities

“Yes, I don them all and I ain’t complaining,” laughs Priyanka, with a revelation that she is a workaholic to the core. “I hate taking even a day off from my work. Out of the day’s 24 hours I don’t mind working for 15. If I’m not shooting, you will surely find me reading scripts or discussing my costumes.”

Sounds like she’s personifying the Wonder Woman bit to the hilt. Speaking of which, what’s up on that front? “Wonder Woman isn’t happening, at least not as of now,” she lets on, albeit a tad guarded. “There were talks. But if and when it happens, I will surely talk about it.”

What she is willing to talk about though, is her upcoming film Salaam-e-Ishq . “I loved being a part of it and working with Salman again,” smiles Priyanka, whose song Saiya Re from the movie will be exclusively aired on Radio Mirchi on January 12. “Salman is one person who doesn’t show his heart of gold. We have a great relationship, yelling and fighting with each other all the time.”

A strong believer in hard work and perseverance, Priyanka feels that her strategy of not resting on the laurels of her being a former Miss World has paid rich dividends. “Today whatever I am is because of my hard work,” believes Priyanka. “I may have got my first couple of films because of my title, but it’s ultimately your work that will speak for you. I could have easily been chucked into the dustbin if I was bad. I am so grateful that it didn’t happen to me and that I was welcomed so lovingly by the film industry.”

Privacy, however is the one thing that Priyanka feels has been taken away from her by the film industry. “To me loss of privacy is a small price to pay for fame and adulation,” she says unblinkingly. “But I do know when and where to draw the line. I would never let people know who I am seeing or where I eat or sleep. I like to keep that little bit of myself just for myself!”
