‘Priyanka has outdone herself in Hollywood’
India Today reports the actor as saying, "From Dil Dhadakane Do to Bajirao Mastani to getting People's Choice award for Quantico and now Padma Shri...I can't explain in words what emotions I am going through. I think I am living my dream."
"I think it's all the benefit of working hard. I don't take my job for granted," she said.
Tennis Star Sania Mirza has also been awarded an honour - the Padma Bhushan, for her contribution in the world of tennis.
The award is India’s third highest civilian honour. Sania took to Twitter to express her humility.
