Priyanka Chopra



Priyanka Chopra is back to India after months. The actress who is gearing up for the release of her maiden Hollywood venture – Baywatch, is now busy promoting the drama in India. Priyanka Chopra, who returned from the US for merely five days and was quite enthralled to interact with the Indian media at a press conference in Mumbai recently.  However, the main lead actor Dwayne Johnson, who couldn’t make it physically to the press conference, was virtually present there. The conference began with his heart-warming message through a video. He expressed his grief of not making it to India, and said that he is missing India a lot.

When questioned about Indians or browns being welcomed warmly and accepted by Hollywood, Priyanka replied, “You can’t be so entitled as being from Hindi film industry. We can’t say that if we are stars in India, we will be stars everywhere. I am okay to walk into a room and introduce myself as, ‘Hello, I am Priyanka Chopra. I am an Indian actor.’ There’s nothing small about it, our achievements are quite big. Of course, people didn’t know me then. I never thought they were mean except a few. But I think American press was wonderfully accepting of me. In fact, I haven’t seen them being that good to any other Indian actor. They have been loving, friendly and encouraging of me. So, I can’t say about brown skin. I can’t generalise.”

Talking about picking up Bollywood film over 3rd season of Quantico, Priyanka said, “I am in a contract with ABC that says I cannot just leave Quantico midway, especially if they want another season.” When quizzed about Bollywood films in hand, PeeCee said, “I have locked three films but I can’t say when I’ll start working on them as I have to check my schedule. I have definitely missed Hindi films. This is my home and it’s been really a wonderful homecoming.”
