The dusky damsel-not-in-distress Priyanka Chopra is going places. After the resounding success of her American TV show Quantico, news is that she might be one of the presenters at this year’s Oscar Awards ceremony.

The story doesn’t stop here. She seems to have garnered a decent fan-following among Hollywood glitterati. One of them is film star Ryan Reynolds who in an interview has expressed his desire to work with Priyanka C because “she’s charming, funny and smart”. Well, well, well… what’s next girl! Replacing Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft?
