It's good to be bad, says Priyanka

Mumbai, Jan 17 (IANS) She is one of the most sought after leading ladies in the Hindi movie industry, but actress Priyanka Chopra prefers characters with grey shades over positive roles. And why not? Her role of a femme fatale in "7 Khoon Maaf" has fetched her a prestigious award.

"I like doing negative roles. I think they are lots of fun. It's so good being bad," said the 29-year-old who bagged the Screen award for the best actress in a negative role for "7 Khoon Maaf".

Priyanka had earlier donned negative shades for the 2004 successful film "Aitraaz" -- for her performance in that film also she had won the Filmfare award for the best performance in a negative role.

The former beauty queen is careful while choosing a role as she feels that the character should leave an impact, however, small it is.

"I think the most important thing in a character to see that it has a presence. A character should not feel wasted or redundant. Even if it is a small role, the scenes that you have should make an impact, that is important," said Priyanka who will be seen playing Hrithik's love interest Kaali in "Agneepath" releasing on Republic Day.

Besides "Agneepath", Priyanka is also busy shooting for "Teri Meri Kahaani", "Barfee" and "Krrish 3." Click the Movie button below for more info:
