Mumbai: Despite no Bollywood films this year, Priyanka Chopra gets welcomed with warmth whenever she visits India after her international commitments.

Her recent visit is a testimony to this fact.

From a dazzling performance at an awards show to empowering statements at the Penguin Annual Lecture and a UNICEF event, the actress has been very much a part of the news.

While there is no certainty about her next Bollywood film, she did collaborate with two of the most popular filmmakers, albeit only for a TV show.

Priyanka was the first guest on the Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty hosted ‘India’s Next Superstars’ recently.

The actress was a part of an interesting act on the show, according to a report in Mid-day.

'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' happens to be one of Priyanka's favourite films and the actress insisted on re-enacting a particular scene where Karan, much before his 'debut' in 'Bombay Velvet', gets punched by Shah Rukh Khan when he visits Amrish Puri’s store to buy beer bottles.
