Indian actress Priyanka Chopra, who began her career in Bollywood and is now a recognized Hollywood star, recently shared insights about her journey at the Bridge Summit in Abu Dhabi.
Priyanka Chopra reflected on the early challenges in her career, including six consecutive film flops. She explained that opportunities were often removed from her, forcing her to pivot. “My pivots were never about choice; they were a lot about survival,” she said, highlighting the struggle of establishing herself in a competitive industry.
She also spoke about her early years, saying she accepted every role because every opportunity felt like a privilege. She traveled constantly and missed key family milestones to work. Today, she makes choices intentionally, considering the impact on her family, mental health, and long-term goals.
After winning Miss World in 2000, Priyanka Chopra entered Bollywood with The Hero: Love Story of a Spy. She rose to fame with films like Aitraaz, Fashion, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Don, and Krrish. Her role in Fashion earned her the National Award for Best Actress, and she delivered hits including Bajirao Mastani, Mary Kom, and Barfi, proving her talent without industry backing.
Expanding globally, Priyanka Chopra became the first South Asian woman to star in an American network drama with Quantico. She later appeared in Hollywood films including Baywatch, The White Tiger, Love Again, and The Matrix Resurrections. She also produces films under her banner Purple Pebble Pictures, solidifying her international status.
Priyanka Chopra is set to return to Indian cinema with S.S. Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, scheduled for Sankranti 2027. She is also preparing for the second season of the American spy-action series Citadel.
