Mumbai, July 20 - She is one of the reigning stars in Bollywood, but Priyanka Chopra says she was a very bad actress when she debuted with 'Andaaz' six years ago. While the former Miss World has set high goals for herself and is experimenting with roles like never before, she is also clear about what she is looking for in her 'Mr. Right'.

'I think I was a terrible actress when I started off as compared to what I'm today. I still have a lot to learn, but I believe that I have grown as an actress and I evolve constantly. I always had the hunger to learn and become better at what I do - just like a sponge, trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible,' Priyanka told IANS in an email interview.

The actress, who won the Filmfare Award for best actress for 'Fashion', wants to take her career to greater heights. She has no plans of getting married right now but knows what she wants from her man.

'No plans of settling down at the moment. But when I do... Mr. Right has to match a lot of my parameters... He has to be someone who knows how to make me feel special... make me feel like I'm walking on air...,' said Priyanka, who turned 27 Saturday.

Excerpts from an interview:

Q: Having had two hits in 2008 - 'Fashion' and 'Dostana' - along with several awards... how do you look back at your past year?

A: I feel like I'm 20 years into my career because I've done so much work in such a short time. When I look back, it's been only five-six years since I've been here. I've never received any formal training in acting or cinema nor do I belong to a film family; so for me, the biggest achievement is that my hard work and my family's support have led me to the place I'm in today. I take great pride in that.

Q: How would you review your performance in Bollywood ever since you made your debut with 'Andaaz' in 2003?

A: I think I was a terrible actress when I started off as compared to what I'm today. I still have a lot to learn, but I believe that I've grown as an actress and I evolve constantly. I always had the hunger to learn and become better at what I do - just like a sponge, trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible.

Q: Your forthcoming movies are 'Kaminey' and 'What's Your Rashee?' and 'Pyaar Impossible'. Which one are you more excited about and why?

A: I have different feelings for different films. I'm very excited about 'Kaminey' because it's pathbreaking cinema.
