There were some incredible Malaysian singers. And the food was put of this world. I had a truly memorable time. This was my second visit to Malaysia in two weeks.
And I spent a major part of 2005 and 2006 in the country shooting for Don. So Malaysia is almost like my second home now. Maybe the Malaysians should just adopt me," laughs Priyanka with a sigh just before she boarded the flight back to Mumbai.
"This was the formal inauguration dinner for the Grand Prix. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the actually flagging - off of the race on Sunday. I had to be back to judge the Miss India contest."
Priyanka was exceedingly excited about judging this beauty pageant. "Miss India will always remain special. That's where it all started for me. And maybe that's where it would've ended if I hadn't won the crown. So I know how important it is to win the Miss India contest.
I've the privilege of being on both sides of the stage. I know how important it is to make the contestants feel comfortable. I was as nervous about judging Miss India as I was about participating in it. "
This was the first time Priyanka judged the Miss India contest. "And I wouldn't have missed it for the world," she declares.
Priyanka is also very excited about her new release next Friday. "You know, Big Brother was the first film I signed. My life's first shot was for this film.
Today I feel so proud to see it has shaped up so well. For the first time I play a typical middleclass girl, very simple and with no makeup. Quite a contrast with the glamorous rolls I've done so far."
"Not that I don't enjoy doing the glam sham. In fact my role in Love Story 2050 is my most glamorous to date."
