Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have been thrust into a tug of war since their leap into Hollywood, but this is one battle they refuse to fight.

According to Filmfare, PeeCee isn't concerned about who she is compared to in the industry — it happens so often with the actor that 'it's become a habit now.'

"I have been compared to actresses all my life. I have no problems with that," she says. "They compare me to everyone during each release. It's become a habit now."

Earlier, when Deepika was asked how she felt about being compared to her Bajirao Mastani co-star, she dismissed the notion much like Priyanka, and called it 'odd and 'weird'.

"I don't make anything of it because at a personal level I know her way too well for any sort of comparisons. It feels odd and it feels weird," said the Tamasha actor.

"Professionally I think we are both doing extremely well. But our worlds are also completely different. What she wants to achieve and is working towards is very different from what I am doing. Although it is in the creative space, her demands and requirements are completely different from mine," she added.

However, what she finds most 'strange' is being compared to Priyanka of all the actors in Bollywood.

"The other thing I find strange is the comparisons to her... I find them bizarre. Even if someone had to compare, I can understand comparison with an Anushka or a Sonam or a Sonakshi but I can't wrap my head with the comparisons with Priyanka."

The two actors have worked alongside in Bajirao Mastani and haven't faced any form of professional or personal clash. They have both worked in Hollywood films with A-list actors. Deepika made her Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage, while Priyanka's Hollywood debut Baywatch is set to release in May.
