After a good stint in Hollywood, Priyanka Chopra is ready for her second innings in Bollywood. Apart from Bharat with Salman Khan, Priyanka will team up again with Hrithik Roshan for Krrish 4. She is also working on The Sky Is Pink, a film by Shonali Bose, who directed the widely-appreciated Margarita With A Straw.
While the Quantico actress has many films to her credit, on her birthday, here’s a quick playlist of some popular songs from her films.
Desi Girl

It was this song from Dostana, which gave Priyanka the tag ‘desi girl’. The song is a peppy number featuring Priyanka, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan. Priyanka’s sizzling dance moves, and John and Abhishek’s hilarious act make this song funny and groovy at the same time.
Phir Le Aaya Dil

This ghazal is from the 2012 film Barfi. The song, composed by Pritam, has three versions.
