Calling herself a Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh fan, Priya said she would not mind working in a Bollywood film. "Why not? If the offer is good I'd love to.”And which actors would be on her wishlist, we asked. “Ranveer Singh, SRK, and Sidharth Malhotra,”Priya answered shyly. 

Calling her co-star, the 19-year-old Roshan Abdul Rahoof, 'supportive and understanding', Priya thanked her fans for the love and support that they have given her and her debut film. 

While she is currently the entire country’s crush, Priya stated that she did not have anyone special in her life. “I study in a girls college, so there are no possibilities of an high-school romance. I have had lots of crushes, but nothing serious,” revealed Priya. 

How would she describe her ideal man? “He should be chivalrous. Open doors, pull the chair for me.”And what would be a perfect date for her? “It has to be candlelight dinner for sure," said the actress.
