Mumbai, September 08: If her role in Kaminey won her critical appreciation, then her next film, What’s Your Rashee has won her a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records. However, what Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra is really busy with is helping underprivileged children.
Don’t be surprised if you see her flashing a ring – not an engagement ring, but just a token of appreciation received by her for pledging her support to Save the Children’s “Rewrite the Future” campaign on Monday in Mumbai. And the actor played her part by giving a pep talk.
“I come from a simple Army family in Bareily. Winning the Miss World pageant wasn’t expected by me or my family. What I knew is when I had to represent myself at the function I had to give it my best. I was 17 years old when I won the title and within two months, I had to grow up and face you people and not get fazed out,” she said.
Miss World is a thing of past though and for now, Priyanka has her fingers crossed for her forthcoming release What’s Your Rashee. In the film, she plays 12 different characters, a feat that’s got her name in the Guinness Book of World Records.
“I am am looking forward to it. Choosing entries for the Guinness Book of World Records is a long process. The officials have to see the film and then take a call but from what the officials are saying, it will be announced before the film releases so I am keeping my fingers crossed. It’s something that I would show my grandchildren and tell them this is what your granny was,” she said.
Well, three hits in a row in Bollywood is a record of sorts in itself.
