It's not even halfway down the year, but Priyanka Chopra already has reasons enough to say 2009 has been "fantastic" for her. The star has already walked away with seven awards including an international honour.
"It's been a fantastic start to 2009. Awards mean a lot to me. After you work so hard, the award validates your work. So every award has a very special place in my heart and gives me a huge sense of achievement and encouragement, " Priyanka told over e-mail.
Priyanka, who scorched the screen with distinct roles in films like "Fashion" and "Dostana", was bestowed the Nielsen Box Office Award for outstanding contribution to Asian cinema at the Third Annual Asian Film Awards held in Hong Kong last month.
She says the award is an encouragement for her to perform better.
"I have only been in the Indian film industry for about five years now and so it was a huge surprise and an honour to have been conferred the award.
This is my first international award and is definitely an encouragement for me as an actor to perform better. It was a proud moment for me to represent India at the Asian Film Awards, " she said.
