Priyanka Chopra was recently nominated for the prestigious Padma Shri award. She said in an interview, that she feels extremely special for being selected for this honour. She never knew how her American TV series ‘Quantico’ will do but now she is happy with the choice she made.

In the interview, the actress said, “Nobody hopes about these things, but yes, nobody knows where life will take you or how successful you will become. I was so nervous when 'Quantico' got released. I never knew it would become popular. But here I am, happy about the choices that I have made. Being chosen for the Padma Shri is extremely special. I came into the business knowing nothing, and I've learnt a whole lot. I just kept my head down and kept working.”
