Meanwhile, music is not the only thing that keeps Priyanka busy. The singer is also a state level air pistol shooter. "I used to love sports since childhood, be it badminton, table tennis or any kind of sports would fascinate me. I was introduced to this beautiful weapon "air pistol" by my cousin Mr Jaspal Rana who is a big name in this field. He has won many gold medals for our country in Doha international shooting championship and many other shooting competitions.
There was a beautiful shooting range in my college (Sriram College of Commerce) where I was pursuing B.Com Honours, so I used to practice over there. Then I went to state-level competition from Uttarakhand. I could not continue this because I had to choose one thing for my career, so I chose singing over the shooting. But whenever I get time, I practice shooting. So if I wasn't a singer, I would have been a shooter," she says.
Well! her journey in the singing world continues and she has a few names on her wish list. "My favourite music composers are Mr A R Rahman and Pritam. I would love to work with them anytime. They have been ruling the Bollywood music industry since ages. I simply adore them," she says.
