Priyanka Chopra: My career has nothing to do with the success and failure of others

Actress Priyanka Chopra says that there is no change in her equation with Deepika Padukone contrary to reports of a fight between them. It was reported that since there is a competition between Priyanka and Deepika - both are trying to make a mark in

Hollywood

- their friendship has gone kaput. "You (media) said we are friends. Earlier, you all (media) used to write we are BFF (best friend forever) so how did this change, why and how it changed? I did not say it (equation) has changed, you said it has changed," Priyanka told reporters at an event.


"I am clarifying that whatever was earlier, it is same today also. Your perspective has changed and that shouldn't have happened," the 33-year-old actress said, dismissing suggestions that their friendship has turned sour.

It doesn't make sense for me to answer about someone else...I don't pay attention to what others are doing. My career has been very solitary. My career has nothing to do with the success and failure of others."

The former Miss World said that she is trying to open doors globally for Indian actors. "I am trying to open doors for others (Indian actors) by representing Indian film industry (at the international level). I hope a lot of South Asian actors get entry on global level. Whoever gets good work, I will always wish them well. I would wish them more success than me."

According to a source, 'Bajirao Mastani' stars apparently declined to to perform on 'Pinga' at the recently concluded

IIFA

Awards at

Madrid

. Quiz the 'Don' actress on this and she says, "I have no idea... It would be better to ask IIFA team. All I know is that it was supposed to happen but then I don't know what happened and why it did not happen. I have no idea... You have to ask IIFA I am sure they would know." Priyanka was talking to the media at special edition launch of magazine, in which she has topped the list for the hottest women of the decade.
