Priyanka Chopra is my competitor: Namitha
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,August 25 2009]
Guess what could be the reason behind Namitha entering filmdom and making it to the top? The reason was her defeat at a qualifying round for Miss World that held years ago.
ÂWhen I went to the qualifying round of Miss World, I was not selected by the juries just because I didn't know English. Finally, Priyanka Chopra emerged the winner and became Miss World, the actress says.
She adds: ÂI vowed on that day to master English and to make it big in filmdom. Now, I know the language very well and I am there in the hearts of millions of fans. This is all thanks to the challenge I took on that day.Â
Saying that she has shed six kilos following advice from her friends and well-wishers, Namitha adds, Âat present I am acting in a Telugu film opposite Balakrishna. Talks are on to sign on the dotted lines for a Kannada movie. I would like to make it big in Sandalwood too.Â
