Actress finally decides to take a break from her work schedule and is busy enjoying a holiday

It looks like Priyanka Chopra finally decided to take a break from her whirlwind work schedule and apparently is busy enjoying a holiday in Ibiza

Our source says, “Don 2, Agneepath and Teri Meri Kahaani had kept her very busy. The shooting of her film opposite Ranbir Kapoor was also going on.

PC will soon start working on a two-month schedule with Hrithik Roshan for their superhero film. She was also preoccupied with her music album. Finally, she has decided to take some time off.” So, after she wrapped up her Spain schedule, where she had gone on work, she took off to Ibiza. Our source adds, “She is taking a week-long trip.”

Bollywood's 'Desi Girl' Priyanka Chopra is playing an autistic girl in 'Barfi' and describes it as the most lovable character she has ever played. She hopes she has justified director Anurag Basu's vision.

"I thought Jhilmil will be difficult. Initially, it was difficult, " said Priyanka now that "my heart is with Jhilmil".

"It is a very special character and I hope you like it. It is my most endearing character, " she told reporters Monday at the release of its first trailer here.

In the Anurag Basu directed film, Priyanka has teamed up with Ranbir Kapoor, who will be seen as Murphy, a fun loving deaf and mute guy. The actress says that the purpose of "Barfi" is to dispel the myth that disabled people live a dark and depressing life.

"When we meet differently-abled people, we always have a view point that they live a dark, sorrowful life. But this is not a film about that. They also smile, laugh, they fall in love, enjoy themselves. This is that side of their lives... I don't think, after a while you will remember that these characters have disability, " she said.

This is Priyanka and Ranbir's second film together after "Anjaana Anjaani".

Priyanka finds Ranbir's character "really adorable" in the film and says that "he will make you laugh and you will want to be him".

'Barfi' is filled with emotion, said the actress and added that the movie will "reside in my heart for a really long time and I want to definitely say thank you to everyone who thought I was capable of playing Jhilmil".

From a model in "Fashion" to femme fatale in "7 Khoon Maaf", Priyanka has essayed different roles and feels very fortunate to be able to get these opportunities.

"Anyone will get bored by doing just one thing. I am lucky that my directors can see me in different characters and I can make them believe in me for different characters. I like working hard and I hope you feel I have justified Anurag sir's vision after seeing Jhilmil, " she said.

Ranbir Kapoor is playing a deaf and mute boy while Priyanka will be seen as an autistic girl in the forthcoming film "Barfi", but Ranbir claims that despite such characters audiences will not see any "disability" in the film.

"Whatever disability you see right now, you will not feel in the film. We are normal characters. PC (Priyanka) is playing an autistic girl in the film, but she is like this cute puppy dog who you will fall in love with. You will not see the disability, " he said at the release of the first trailer of 'Barfi' Monday.

Directed by Anurag Basu, the film is titled after Ranbir's character.

Talking about it, Ranbir said that in the movie his character's "name is actually Murphy but because he is deaf and mute, he says it as Barfi".

"They cannot see the difference between letters M and B. He is happy-go-lucky. It is set in the 1970s, it's a romantic comedy. He has a big house, and his purpose in life is to make people happy. Even in his sorrows, you will see a sense of comedy and happiness. This is his motive in life, " said Ranbir.

Playing the role was not as tough as Ranbir had anticipated. When Basu narrated "the script to me, I thought I will really have to work a lot for this and I will have to learn sign language and all".

"But he (Basu) was very clear to me. He told me that this was not a film to show off my acting abilities. He wanted it to be relatable. Everyone should understand the film."

The inspiration to play the happy-go-lucky character came from Charlie Chaplin, but Ranbir clarifies that he is not trying to imitate him. "Charlie Chaplin was an inspiration, but we have not tried to replicate it. I am Raj Kapoor's grandson, so it will have some effect as well, " he said.

In recent times, the actor won accolades for playing a musician in "Rockstar" and a ruthless manipulator in "Raajneeti".

Ask him about the roles he is playing and he says: "You would like to believe that with every film you grow. If there is no growth, you start reaching a saturation point and you retire. I don't want to say that I have become a good actor. All we can do now is give it our best..."

Co-produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapoor, "Barfi" is coming out Sep 14 and it will see Telugu actress Ileana D'Cruz in a vital role.

Actor Priyanka Chopra is seems to be enjoying every minute of the Mumbai rains.

"What the hell is it about the rains..that makes the heart swell..the soul pine..and the eyes desire...this pitter patter is so troublesome! I loooove the rains.. Troublesome in a beautiful bitter sweet way guys!!!!" she wrote.

The actress was recently seen in Kunal Kohli's "Teri Meri Kahaani", opposite Shahid Kapoor and has just wrapped up Anurag Basu's "Barfi!".
