As an actor, you need to lie convincingly: Priyanka Chopra

In spite of a National award and various memorable performances to her name, actor Priyanka Chopra still finds some aspects of acting difficult. The 32-year-old, who has done notable films like Barfi! and Don 2, says that the toughest thing about being an actor is to play different emotions on screen and have the audience believe you.

“I feel that the toughest thing about being an actor is to be honest to so many different emotions which you have to play. Some of these emotions may be ones which you may not have been through before or are familiar with, but you have to convince the audience that you are telling the truth. You have to sell a lie convincingly,” says Priyanka.

However always being ready for the camera and the public is also something which is challenging for her at time. Looking perfect with a smile on your face is something which she feels is tough for any public figure including herself.

“The toughest thing about being an actor or rather a public person, is keeping your game face on. You might not have slept all night or might not be having a great day, but you don’t have the luxury to feel all this,” Priyanka adds.
