Priyanka Chopra opens up about dealing with rejection early on in career.
Veteran actress Priyanka Chopra recently opened up about facing rejection repeatedly in the initial phase of her career in Bollywood. While speaking on a podcast, she acknowledged the difficulty associated with a validation-driven field like acting.
The global star recounted rejection for various reasons, from being deemed unsuitable to roles going to others owing to favouritism. Having come to terms with its inevitability long ago, she stressed accepting setbacks and not remaining in denial.
Earlier too, Priyanka had spoken about feeling cornered in the local industry and retreating due to reluctance of casting agents besides office politics. This had pushed her to explore pastures abroad post 2010 hits like In My City.
Over a decade since her Hollywood shift, she has achieved immense success with projects such as Quantico and productions through her company. In India, her productions Paani and To Kill a Tiger also won prestigious honours.
While her reinvigorated journey underlines the importance of overcoming early bumps with resilience, the multifaceted actor continues juggling diverse talents, from films to entrepreneurship, with Elan. Her nuanced insights offer lessons to young aspirants on embracing failures.
With more international collaborations, including an Idris Elba-starrer, lined up, Priyanka inspires courage in navigating showbiz’s ups and downs.
