"I am not a negative person. I'd like to think that finally regional cinema is getting the credit it deserves because there are too many incredible storytellers and filmmakers there.

"I don't think there should be a comparison because, eventually, we are all Indian and these are all Indian films," Priyanka told IANS over phone from New York, living up a deja vu moment -- she was in the same city when she won the Best Actress National Film Award for ‘Fashion’ in 2010.

"I am extremely excited that Indian cinema -- whether it is regional or Hindi -- has grown leaps and bounds and it is making such incredible films. I'd like to focus more on that than dividing us," added the former beauty queen, who has garnered visibility in American showbiz, and spearheads the banner Purple Pebble Pictures with her mother Madhu Chopra.
