Priyanka Chopra walks the ramp for Ritu Kumar

Bollywood actress and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra says she gets goosebumps whenever she sashays down fashion runways.

'I am not a ramp-friendly person, as professionally I have walked the runway just for a couple of months. You can say I am out of practice,' Priyanka said after she turned out for designer Ritu Kumar at the inaugural show of the HDIL Indian Couture Week on late Tuesday.

'In movie making, we have so many cuts and takes that we can cover up our goof ups but on the ramp, everything is live. Hats off to the professional models who do it so gracefully,' says Chopra.

Chopra had first walked the ramp for Kumar when she was just 16, and doesn't remember the last time she did so professionally,.

'I have been doing it for friends only, like I did today but apart from that, I do not remember when was the last time I did it professionally,' says Chopra.

”After winning Miss World title, I shifted to movies so there was no scope of doing it on a professional level.”

Chopra had made her Bollywood debut with Anil Sharma's The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy (2002) but climbed the ladder of success two years later with Aitraaz, in which she played a negative role. Very soon, the actress will be seen in Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Fashion' in which she is plays the role of a supermodel named Sonia.

'I have got so much into the skin of my character that while walking the ramp there was a sense of deja vu that director would yell Cut. Of course, that did not happen,' Chopra said smilingly.

Apart from Fashion, the actress will be seen in Goldie Behl's Drona opposite Abhishek Bachchan and Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana, also opposite Abhishek Bachchan. The movies are slated for release in October and November respectively.
