I always end up emulating Priyanka Chopra, says Mawra Hocane

Our very own not-so-desi girl Priyanka Chopra has an ardent admirer in the young and beautiful Pakistani star, Mawra Hocane. The petite actress, who is currently seen warming hearts as the protagonist in the series, Main Bushra on Zindagi, made her Bollywood debut early this year. She is very inspired by the Quantico actress’ confidence and much like Priyanka, believes in setting high goals for herself. Says Mawra, “I love the way Priyanka carries herself. I was eight-years-old when she was crowned Miss World. I remember telling my mom that I want to grow up to be like her. Ever since then, I have been following her closely. I have seen all her films and I am deeply influenced by her acting. I don’t do it consciously, but I always end up emulating Priyanka. I try very hard to be perfect in all my scenes. I don’t know if I will ever be able to achieve her level of perfection but I am going to keep trying to reach where she has, at least as far as dedication to work is concerned”.
