Failure scares me: Priyanka Chopra

Mumbai, Dec 20

Priyanka Chopra, one of the most sought after actresses in the Hindi film industry, says she is sacred of failure and that she reels under a 'flop' for a long time.

"Failure is something that scares me a lot. And failure of a film not only disappoints me, it breaks my heart because I put in lot of efforts in all my films," Priyanka told reporters at the success party of Arindam Chaudhuri's book "Discover The Diamond In You" at the JW Marriot Hotel here over the weekend.

"Every time a film doesn't do well, I mourn for at least three weeks. It takes me really a long time to get out of it."

Priyanka is impressed by Chaudhuri's book.

"I think success is very important. In this concise book of only 59 pages, professor Chaudhuri has given a fantastic explanation on how in nine different ways one can make himself a successful human being," said Priyanka.

"Discover The Diamond In You" is Chaudhuri's third book after "Count Your Chickens Before They Are Hatched" and "The Great Indian Dreams".

He says that he wanted to to reach out to more people with the book.

"I'm a teacher. The need to reach out to more people than those in my classroom made me write this book," Arindam told IANS.
