Priyanka Chopra insists that she will feel nervous kissing or wearing a bikini on the screen now...
Priyanka Chopra has done it all - stripped, smooched and indulged in passionate lovemaking. And all of it in her debut film Andaaz, yet the actress maintains that she is not cashing in on her sex-symbol image.
"It's not just my body that attracts people to theatres.
It's my performance as well,"says she. The former beauty queen goes on to add, "I did everything in my debut film. But I would be nervous kissing or wearing a bikini today.
I would consider the intimate scenes only if they are required."
But, I am not part of those films. I am doing the work I enjoy. A big banner film can never thrive on sex alone or by exploiting women. It's the script and content that make a film work."
She feels the sudden rise in her career, where every topnotch filmmaker wants to sign her, is because of her "hardwork. I work 18 hours a day.
And I am grateful to the film industry for accepting me in just three years.'But when does she find the time for love? "The only love in my life is my work,"says Priyanka, "There's no man."Isn't life boring without one? "Work makes up for it,"concludes she.

Priyanka Chopra has done it all - stripped, smooched and indulged in passionate lovemaking. And all of it in her debut film Andaaz, yet the actress maintains that she is not cashing in on her sex-symbol image.
"It's not just my body that attracts people to theatres.
I would consider the intimate scenes only if they are required."
While her skin show seems to be on the rise with every film, Priyanka likes us to believe that "none of my films after my debut had sex. I have been dressed like any other girl my age in my movies."She feels the films based only on sex are the "B and C grade projects that are soft-porn and are made because they have an audience.
But, I am not part of those films. I am doing the work I enjoy. A big banner film can never thrive on sex alone or by exploiting women. It's the script and content that make a film work."
