Where is Priyanka Chopra?

After months of making headlines —for her films and at times, for her personal life, actress Priyanka Chopra seems to have suddenly vanished from the public eye. After Hrs tracked her down and found that it is not because she’s away vacationing —  she has been shooting back-to-back for all her films, some of them scheduled to release this year.
The actress began the year on a high note with her film 7 Khoon Maaf that earned her rave reviews. “It  has been the toughest role of my career so far, and I’m glad that it was under the guidance of a genius filmmaker like Vishal Bhardwaj,” said Chopra. “Working with him is not only a delight, but a great learning experience. He has vision which he translates effortlessly in his own brand of cinema.”
Currently shooting for Agneepath, she is super excited about film-maker Anurag Basu’s next movie, which will see her essaying the character of a mentally challenged girl. “It promises to be a very difficult and challenging role! It’s a little too early to talk about it, but the preliminary work on it is underway. I’ve had many discussions with Anurag and the team to help me prepare for the role.”
The actor, who took a brief vacation recently, cannot think of taking another one as she has to complete five films (Agneepath, Don-2, Barfee, Kunal Kohli’s next and Krrish 2) by this year. “Yes, I am doing all my films back-to-back. All need to be completed this year, so it is going to be a very hectic year for me and my family.”
How does she manage to spend time with family with such a schedule that involves incessant travelling? “The entire credit for that goes to my family. They understand that my profession demands it. They are very supportive. Besides, if I miss my parents, I make sure they travel with me. That way, I get to spend time with them.”
