In the latest interview, PC revealed how people cornered her in Bollywood.

In conversation with Dax Shepherd on his podcast Armchair Expert, the Citadel actor reveals being “cornered” in Bollywood and how her manager Anjula Acharia helped her move out of the mess. PC shared how Acharia once saw her in a music video and asked her if she is interested in picking up music in the US.

PC shared, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry (Bollywood). I had people not casting me, I had beef with people. I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break. This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people.”

“It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.”

The rebel queen and PC’s Fashion co-star Kangana Ranaut has supported her statement and feels that Karan Johar is responsible for all this.

Kangana wrote on Twitter, “This is what ?@priyankachopra? has to say about Bollywood, people ganged up on her, bullied her and chased her out of the film industry” a self-made woman was made to leave India. Everyone knows Karan Johar had banned her.”

“Media wrote extensively about her fall out with Karan Johar because of her friendship with SRK and the movie mafia Cruella who is always looking for vulnerable outsiders saw a perfect punching bag in PC and went all out in harassing her to a point where she had to leave India,” the Queen actress added.
