"I remember Tamizhan, which was difficult for me as I did not know how to speak Tamil. I discovered/learned the language phonetically, memorised it, understood its meaning, and then said my lines. But, I loved watching my co-actor Vijay -he was one of the first few influences in my life. Vijay had amazing humility on set. Once the star comes onto the set, he never leaves the set. And that's something I do even now. I rarely go back to my trailer in between shots unless it's a long time that I have to wait. I'm usually hanging out on set. I'd like to comprehend why we're taking different shots. I like to speak to the crew. I like to be in the mix," Priyanka Chopra said.
 

She said the first few movies she did in India were a Tamil movie called Tamizhan and two Hindi movies Andaaz with Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta and The Hero with Sunny Deol. ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas rang in their New Year on a cruise deck; actor shares dreamy pics
