And I don't know where people get off really. 'Krrish' has done a business of Rupees 150 crores. It's popular and is almost giving 'Superman' a run for its money, so what more convincing is required to get the point across? I'm very happy with the response I got fro the film. I'm happy with my role. I've learnt that you can't always please everyone in any case. And 'Krissh' is my moment of success; I will not allow anyone to take that away from me." (Stardust magazine, September 2006)
Priyanka Chopra undoubtedly has a number of films in hand at this moment including Farhan Akhtar's 'Don', Farah Khan's 'Happy New Year', Nikhil Advani's 'Salaam E Ishq' and many more.
