I don't believe in having any regrets: Priyanka

Whether her choices end in success or failure, actor Priyanka Chopra – whose visibility in the US is on the rise – says she is always on the lookout for new ways to challenge herself because she believes in living without regrets.

Be it for her acting skills, fashion calls or advocating social causes – Priyanka has made a name for herself in all spheres.

"It's been an incredible, amazing experience and I don't think I've had time to fully process it all. I'm a living testament of 'If you can dream it, you
can do it', and I'm filled with gratitude for all the connections and learnings "I am a firm believer in not having any regrets.

Every choice I've made and step I've taken has led me to where I am today. Each success and failure too has shaped my present, and I wouldn't change that for anything," she added.

For Priyanka Chopra, it all started at the age of 17 when she was crowned Miss World. She soon stepped into the world of Bollywood in 2003
with The Hero: Love Story of a Spy.

Projects like Don, Fashion,7 Khoon Maaf, Barfi!,Mary Kom, and Bajirao Mastani are milestones in her career graph. But it wasn't a smooth ride
for her as she even saw setbacks with films like Bluffmaster!, Salaam-E-Ishq, God Tussi Great Ho, The Legend of Drona, and What's Your
Raashee?.

She was at the peak of her career when she explored the world of music with singles like 'In my city' and 'Exotic', and walked into the US
television space as FBI agent Alex Parrish in 'Quantico'. She even bagged two People's Choice Awards for 'Quantico'.

The second season of 'Quantico' is back Priyanka will make her Hollywood debut as a villain in Baywatch. Is she now scared of failure?

"I don't like to fail," she said, "And if I do fail, I bundle up in my room with my blanket, eat a tub of ice cream and I'm over it."

She admitted she gets "butterflies" in the stomach whenever she does something new, but said: "I'm always looking for new things to do. I've learned to make fear my friend".

The former beauty queen said she is glad that "talent from India is being recognised more and more because we have so much to offer". "If anything, I would like to believe that I have tried to clear misconceptions when it comes to Indian films and its actors. I believe in our talent and I've just opened the world's eyes to what we have to offer. The rest is left to each individual's talent.

"I've made a special effort to educate everyone I meet, on our film industry and the amazing writers, directors, technicians and actors we have.
It's great to be able to take us out of the box we've been in for a while now.

"We've changed, evolved, grown and it's time the world sees that. I'm also excited about the connect I've been able to make with new audiences and the fact that they see me as an actor first, before anything else. That, in my mind, is a true measure of success," added Asked about her next destination, she said, "That's a dangerous question to ask someone like me because my answer is...Everything! The point is to move forward, try new things, challenge yourself and be open to the endless possibilities."
