Priyanka Chopra has become the first cover girl of Harper's Bazaar for 2013, by sizzling on their Jan-Feb issue.
With her successful transition to music and still being a box office and critics' sweetheart, Priyanka says, "I’m not a person who plans every move. Five years ago, I didn’t have the remotest idea that I’d be cutting an album. Five years from now I don’t know if I’ll still be making music. I don’t plan my career. I just work really, really hard at being successful.”

She adds, “I work bloody hard for my success. I trained like crazy for months before the recording. Up until then, music was a hobby, when it became my work; I gave it the same single-minded focus that I gave to learning acting when I entered the industry.”

"As for my music, I’m an intelligent girl. I knew it was my first foray and I knew I’d make mistakes. I was, and am, okay with that. I don’t mind people saying I’m not very good. I wasn’t the actor I am today in my first movie either, but I got a second and third and fourth chance and I got better. If I get more chances in music, I’ll get better at it too.”

Check out the issue!

There's nobody in the movie industry who has been perfect always. It's a question of compromising or getting thrown out. Especially Priyanka who's not got a famous last name. How many actresses tolerate some ass simply because it betters their career ? Because their family depends on her cash?Why is nobody ripping the man apart? He is the married family man & has no business fooling around !How many young male heart throbs have put out for industry gay directors /producers? How many of our old goats act opposite young gals just to maintain the illusion of youth with surgery? How many stars do we see lobbying for roles or advertisements by slashing their price? Every one of these actions are unethical. Priyanka , if she was really with SRK or Akshay is wrong ....but so are these other things too!

I expected that somebody would definitely extrapolate "playing your cards right" as inappropriate relationships. Why dont you think "playing your cards right" means acknowledging your costars, producers and directors? Why dont you think it means being cardial with media? Why dont you think it is not snubbing everybody and anybody? Why dont you think it means acknowledging that Bollywood is where my passion is and chances lie and I will give it best shot? She is a good actress, who can show emotions, which is what cinema is about.

Are you delusional or just dumb? We all know about PC's alleged affairs with married men. Is that what your definition of "playing your cards right," if so then you have compromised ethics. Have you even watched her interviews, all the lies she shells out, you got to be just like her or naive to believe what she is telling the media, fans, etc. Also, she never owns up to even her nose job, in fact, straight out lies about it. I agree, she is corrupt and manipulative. Please educate yourself about the meaning of 'corrupt" in a dictionary! Goodbye!

@People want to work with Priyanka because she is an incredibly talented actress. Directors come and ask her two to three times to be in her movies and Madur, Authosh, and Vishal had asked PC multiple times to do Fashion, WTY, Kaminey because she had rejected it the first and second time. She also said no to Universal the first time and then the CEO came down from America to approach her once again.

Please get correct information before you try to spread false rumors.

PC is doing a great job herself in regards to spreading rumors. Of course, people want to work with her, no one disagreed she isn't bankable just like Kim Kardashian. She is also pretty famous and gets paid massive amount of money for her public appearances, etc. The producers/directors want to make money obviously, so they cast her. As for talent goes, she isn't extraordinary, etc. Also, she rejected Kaminey because her role was really small, etc. You need to get your facts correct! You apparently missing the point of how she works herself to attain success and it isn't because of hard work or talent. So many hard working and talented people are jobless. But not a lot of people stoop to her level either. Just believe whatever you want to, you seem to be brainwashed anyway.

You can "play your cards right" but still can remain ethical with integrity. The problem is PC will go to any extent to bag a role even if it means having way too cozy or inappropriate relationships. It's called being corrupt!

PC is talent + good relationships with people. It might seem calculative at times. But what is wrong in playing your cards right to bag a role? Do you guys mean she should snub everyone royally? People at times forget that there are many entities involved to make a film. Director, producer, music director, writer, hero, heroine, other actors actress. People should want to work with you. If you are in demand, you can ask for high fees. But still people should like you enough to work with you. PC understood how the industry works.

You have to be insider to thrive. You cant be outsider and expect that your career will succeed. PC is having spectacular career with great films. Kareena is another actress that understood rules of game.

Acting is not a one man thing..you need the other person to help you perform and bring out your acting skills. That is why SRK always thank his Co-Actors, it's the Heroines who made SRK a Hero as well as Yash Chopra and Karan Johar.

As for Priyanka's performance in Barfi..she was lucky to have Ranbir as her co-star..RK kept her balance in Barfi.

It's not "hard work" or "professionalism" for her, it's all about being calculating, ambitious and attaining good roles at being "friends" with other superstars/directors, etc. Also, it helps being able to constantly lie. That's what Priyanka Chopra is all about. Of course, being lucky doesn't hurt either.

I cannot get over her nose - just look closely at it and the area above her lips...she has gone way overboard with her surgeries...where before she only looked unpleasant, now she looks totally scary.

True . All PC had was her Miss World title-no family ,no star backing ....nothing. Her acting in her debut Tamil movie with Vijay was terrible. Everyone rooted for Lara Dutta instead. Slowly she learnt how to perform . Good roles came her way & she's a big actress now.She's still not a naturally actress , but her professionalism & hard work has taken her far.

I like first picture... I respect her for her hard work but.... "I work bloody hard for my success..." I don't like when actors ( singers etc) say it.... Unfortunately or maybe fortunately then don't know what does it mean " to work BLOODY hard".... They are working and were paying big money for their " hard work" and it's good. I'm happy for them and their success but pls don't insult people who really work BLOODY hard for a piece of bread only...

if "intelligent" is a euphemism for cunning/conniving/manipulative then hell yeah, you are intelligent, hun. otherwise, shut it. you got so many chances at acting to get better at it, cause you slept with the hero from your very first film, and maintained that habit. if you go around sleeping with hollywood music moguls there is a good chance you will get even more chances no matter how much you fail. again, you may be many things - rich, famous, good-looking (to the people who favor plastic), popular, but intelligent? nahhhhh

That's true, watching her early movies I would have never thought she we be acting the roles she does today with such authenticity, you gotta love her perceptive on things! It takes courage to be super succesful and famous and attempt to do something from scratch again, nobody can deny that!
