Priyanka Chopra

She had partied two nights in a row, chaired innumerable meetings and had just walked out of a press interaction for her debut Hollywood film, 'Baywatch', but still looked far from fatigued when we met her. Well, that's Priyanka Chopra for you. Before hosting her B-Town buddies later that day, we sat down with the desi girl for a quick tete-a-tete . Excerpts:

Aren't you tired?
A little bit, but not too much. Being tired is for the weak.

So how are the promotions of 'Baywatch' planned? It's quite unfortunate we won't get to see Dwayne Johnson in India…
Never say never. (Pause) But it looks difficult. We are yet to start full-fledged promotions. Last month, we met at CinemaCon in Vegas. I already know that the next month will be crazy. We are planning to promote separately so that we can cover more [cities]. We are doing two premieres – Berlin and Miami. It will be a good month of travel and madness.

Is it true that David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson and the old cast of 'Baywatch' will reunite at the premiere?
David and Pamela are in the film. About the rest, I am tightlipped.

Abbas-Mustan had told us that you nail the sinister avatar. Was the reassurance post Aitraaz's success a factor?
You can't compare. I decided to do Baywatch because it was exciting for me to play villain opposite six gorgeous lifeguards. It's an ensemble. I have watched the film, it's hilarious. It's rated R and so people presume it has sexual content. It's just that the jokes include F-words and thus, the rating. But it's a hysterical film. I instinctively reacted to the latent humour. But I consciously chose someone diametrically different from Alex [Parrish, her character in Quantico]. I played Alex because I didn't want to play stereotypes.
