‘Barfi’ (Jhilmil)

When Priyanka came to meet the director for the role of Jhilmil in the 2012 film ‘Barfi’, the director rejected her saying that she was too ‘glamorous’ for this role.

‘Mary Kom’ (Mary Kom)

For this role, Priyanka not only learned boxing, but also molded her body like an athlete. She lived her role on screen so passionately that the audience felt as if they were watching Mary Kom herself fighting in the ring.

‘Fashion’ (Meghna Mathur)

Priyanka’s film ‘Fashion’ took her career to new heights. It not only earned Priyanka the first National Film Award of her career, but also changed the definition of being an actress in Bollywood. Priyanka played the character of ‘Meghna Mathur’ in the film, which showed the painful journey from a small town girl to becoming a supermodel and then falling from the throne to the floor. Actress Kangana Ranaut played a supporting role in this film.

‘Aitraaz’ (Sonia Roy) and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (Kashibai)

While at the beginning of her career, actresses wanted to play positive roles, Priyanka surprised everyone by playing the negative role of Sonia Roy in ‘Aitraaz’.

On the other hand, ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was about Bajirao and Mastani, but in the character of Kashibai, Priyanka showed such a balance of pain and self-respect through her eyes that it became one of her memorable characters.
