I will go back to TV: Priyanka Chopra

She created a rage with her daredevil attitude and funky wardrobe as the host of the last season of “Khatron Ke Khiladi”, but Priyanka Chopra has no regrets whatsoever about having no time to take up TV this year. She hopes to be back on the small screen in the future.

“I will go back to TV when the right opportunity presents itself and if I have the time in between my film commitments, which are my priority,” Priyanka told IANS.

The fourth season of the show is being hosted by Bollywood’s original ‘Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi’ Akshay Kumar, who hosted its first and second seasons as well.

“I have no regrets that I couldn’t make it this year. I wanted to do something different last year and KKK was presented to me. I had the time and I did it. This year I am very busy with shooting for five diverse films, which I am enjoying thoroughly,” she added.

Priyanka has been busy shooting for the “Agneepath” remake, after which Kunal Kohli’s next venture, in which she will feature with Shahid Kapoor, will take up her time. She also has “Don 2″, “Krrish 2″ and “Barfee” in the pipeline.
