I don’t sleep at night, I work 16 hours a day: Priyanka Chopra

Which actress wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of Priyanka Chopra today? From India to USA, Priyanka has been spreading her effervescent charm wherever she sets foot. Post Quantico, her fame has catapulted to an altogether new level. On the flip side, Priyanka Chopra has been literally living out of a suitcase. We caught up with this versatile actress when she made a whirlwind stopover in Mumbai recently to promote Bajirao Mastani. Excerpts from the conversation.

Ques: But do you get time to enjoy all the money that you are making right now?
Priyanka: (Raises her eyebrows) Please, where do we girls make money? Please go and ask this question to the boys. We don’t make money.
Ques: Priyanka Chopra doesn’t make much money…
Priyanka: (Cuts in) I didn’t mean that. I do make money. And I work very hard to earn this money. I don’t sleep at night, I work 16 hours a day. I don’t have weekends, I don’t have Diwali, I don’t have New Years and I don’t have birthdays. But I get compensated for the work I do and I don’t think there is anything wrong with a woman or a professional for that matter being compensated for the work that they do. But if you ask in comparison, please go and ask the boys all over the world what they earn. 

Ques: In real life, will you fight for your love?
Priyanka: I will always fight for my love. Woh pyaar hi kya jiske liye ladai na ki. It will be boring.
