'I was scared of him': Priyanka Chopra recalls her first impression on working with Farhan Akhtar in 'Don'

Before being paired opposite each other in Dil Dhadakne Do and The Sky Is Pink, Farhan Akhtar directed Priyanka Chopra Jonas in two of his film - Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011). In both the films, PeeCee played the role of a fearless and stylish woman for which she was loved a lot by the masses. Moreover, her on-screen chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan was also appreciated. During a recent interaction with BollywoodLife, Priyanka and Farhan spoke about each other from Don days till now.

Priyanka stated to the portal, "Farhan gave me one of my biggest films when I was two years in the business. So, he has known me from when I was just learning acting." She also said, "I was scared of him, I was scared of talking to him. He was Farhan Akhtar after Dil Chahta Hai and I had just done Andaaz and Mujhse Shaadi Karoge. I was like (makes wide eyes) that I’m working with this director."

While Farhan shared, "I don’t see any major changes in her. She is still the same Priyanka that I had met in 2005, to cast for Don. I actually find it wonderful; the fact that she has not changed given all the success and fame and stardom she has seen. That she has stayed true."

He added, "When she did Don, she was very new and now in 2019, she is very experienced as an actor. She has picked up things along the way and that growth, I do see. But who she is at the core, is still the same person."
