Chopra: 'I'm a workaholic'

What's Your Rashee? star Priyanka Chopra has claimed that she pushes herself to work even when ill.

Chopra declared that she feels pressured into pushing herself too hard by media expectations.

She told The Times of India: "Even if I'm feeling totally unwell and can't walk or am exhausted, I’ll have to make a press appearance if I am scheduled to make one. If I cancel it, I'll be called unprofessional or somebody with starry tantrums.

"Yes, I take loads of stress. And I can't deal with a lot of things, like gossip about me. Eventually I snap out of it and tell myself, 'Okay, I'll go do my job, I'll smile through this one and when I come back to my room, I can cry.' People don't understand and the media tends to forget that we are people at the end of the day."

Chopra is scheduled to begin shooting Anjaana Anjaani opposite Ranbir Kapoor in November.
