Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has expressed gratitude for her inclusion in Time magazine’s prestigious list of 100 most influential people. The 33-year-old ‘Bajirao Mastani’ star has been wooing the international audience post her debut American show Quantico and the actress recently bagged the leading role in Hollywood film Baywatch. “What a way to start the day! #Time100’s list of achievers! Humbled, overwhelmed and feeling so blessed!” Priyanka tweeted. Actor-producer Dwayne Johnson, who has shared screen space with Priyanka in ‘Baywatch,’ described the actress as a ‘star rising higher,’ lauded her “drive, ambition, self-respect, and said she knows there’s ‘no substitute for hard work.” “Before ever meeting Priyanka Chopra, I had heard her name coming out of Bollywood and was impressed: she was beautiful, talented, had made nearly 50 movies, earned multiple awards’ a massive star. When we connected around the time she started Quantico, we immediately hit it off.” “We always quote the saying, ‘Wear your success like a T-shirt, not like a tuxedo,’ and she really does as big a star as she is, as global as she is, as beautiful as she is, there’s this interesting quality of relatability.” Johnson said he is lucky to be co-starring Priyanka in the movie and finds her inspiring.
