The actress was at the Penguin Annual Lecture here on Tuesday when she spoke about how her dream has always been about achieving the intangible joy of leaving behind a legacy.
"It's not about whether I want a car or want so many zeros on my cheque. For me, it has always been bigger than that... There's a bigger picture," she said.
So, do those zeroes matter?
"Yes. Because I work very hard for them. And I wasn't born with a silver spoon, though my parents always gave me one. I always worked very hard to be where I am and I think each one of us deserves to be compensated for it."
Priyanka, who has carved a niche for herself in Hollywood with her role in American TV show Quantico, said she is "extremely proud" of being the only woman in a men's only top 10 list.
"But it was funny because there are so many people who talk about the kind of numbers that I apparently get for certain minutes of my time," she said, taking a dig at reports that she charged Rs 5 crore for her five-minute performance at the Zee Cine Awards earlier this month in Mumbai.
