There too, Priyanka emphasised on the importance of seizing the opportunities at the right time. "No one's going to hand it out to you, whether it's credit, whether it's parts, whether it is the ability to make movies. You can understand how hard and few and far between these opportunities are. But it's got to take people like us to stand out there, dig our heels in and say we're not going to stand for it anymore," Priyanka was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.
