Priyanka Chopra is going through the most exciting phase of her career. The year started with the super hit "Krrish" - with super star Hirthik Roshan.

Then in the pipeline there is Nikhil Advani's multi-starrier "Salaam-E-Ishq: A Tribute to Love" with Salman Khan,Anil Kapoor,Juhi Chawla,Akshaye Khanna,Ayesha Takia,John Abraham,Vidya Balan,Govinda, Sohail Khan and Perizaad Zorabian.

Priyanka talks about "DON" and her experience in working with Shah Rukh Khan.

How excited are you about the release of 'Don'?

Of course, I'm extremely excited and looking forward to the release! It's among the biggest films of my career and my first with Shah Rukh! Everyone's looking forward to watching it and it's worked out beautifully. I've had a great time working with such a talented bunch of people like Shah Rukh, Ritesh (Sidhwani) and Farhan (Akhtar) and learnt a lot. I cherish every moment of 'Don'.

Recently there was a rumour that you were unhappy about sharing poster space with Kareena Kapoor and Ishaa Koppikar, who've also been given a lot of prominence in 'Don'. Comment.

(Laughs) I've become a favourite with rumour mongers! First they said that I had committed suicide when I was in Adelaide with my aunt! Then someone said that I had been throwing attitude on the sets of another film. Later I heard that I was apparently angry because I had to share the promotional campaign of 'Don' with Kareena and Ishaa. How do you expect me to react? I've been out of India for nearly three months on work. I've been living out of a suitcase! Just because I haven't been in Mumbai for long, people are busy creating controversies. Why would I be insecure of Kareena and Ishaa? I've worked with Kareena in 'Aitraaz' before and we got along well. In fact, she adds to the star set-up of 'Don'. Even Ishaa has done very well in the film. I want to put these baseless rumours to rest once and for all!
