The 34-year-old actress said: "Let's be honest, it's tough to always maintain a balance but you've got to do what you feel is important." She added: "I work very hard but when I need to create time for myself, my family or friends for example, I will make the time. I understand my priorities and so does my team so when I need to do something that's important to me I will. I also make an effort to be connected. It's easy to get lost in work."

Speaking to IANS, Priyanka Chopra said: "It is important to have people in your life who show you the mirror." She added: "My family, friends and team have always been that for me and I wouldn't want it any other way. I've always been open to feedback... I don't claim to know everything and it's important to have an objective perspective or a view point that different from yours. I have a select set of people whose honesty and opinions I trust."
