 It
was an awesome experience. I felt so much at peace
just walking up that hill. I feel relieved now,”
says Priyanka Chopra about her three-day trip
to Vaishno Devi with her parents.
She says, “I guess the visit to Vaishno Devi was
long due. And I wanted it to happen before my
father's next surgery. My father's illness was a
reason for the pilgrimage. So was the release of
Krissh. So many things, good and bad, have been
happening lately. Fortunately, there has been no end
to things to be grateful for. I guess I had a lot to
speak to God about. So I just flew to Jammu with my
parents.”
At Vaishno Devi, Priyanka walked barefoot up the
hill while her parents went up by a chopper. “It was
tough. But why do we need to talk about it? As a
daughter and as a devotee, I have a certain
relationship with God. And I value that relationship
above everything else,” she says.
Did she fly down from Malaysia especially for the
trip to Vaishno Devi? “Of course!” says Priyanka.
“The minute I could get Farhan Akhtar to let
me go, I flew back to Mumbai. I had been delaying
the pilgrimage for a while now. My schedule just
didn't allow me to take that crucial break. Now I'm
back to work on Don.”
Kareena Kapoor joins the unit of Don in Malaysia
from Thursday. “That should be good fun. Kareena and
I have worked together in Aitraaz, and we had a
great time,” says Priyanka.
She'll be unable to attend IIFA. “We're shooting
non-stop till June 18 in Malaysia. I have always
given my work top priority. I've never allowed any
event, no matter how important, to come in the way
of my work.” |
