Priyanka Chopra is the face of the modern Indian girl and is proud to be so. The actress who gives any male contemporary a run for their money had to play a certain onscreen character that was exactly opposite to what she really is.

Priyanka who plays three different characters from three different eras in 'Teri Meri Kahaani' recently confessed that playing the character of a simple village girl from 1910 was quite a challenge for her. 

"It was tough for me to play that character because there was no reference point for it except some books. Kunal managed to get some sketches of the women from that time and Manish Malhotra designed my costumes by looking at those pictures. I play a Punjabi girl from Pakistan and I had to develop a typical accent by reading those books," she said.

She also exclaimed that it was film's director Kunal Kohli's power that brought out the best in her, "The best thing about Kunal is that he believes in his characters and knows how to extract the best out of actors," added Priyanka, who obviously is overwhelmed by working with him on the film that releases this Friday.
