Priyanka Chopra Addresses Theories About Her Being A 'Devil-Worshipper', Calls It 'Horrible'
Actor Priyanka Chopra is a global sensation. The Indian-origin actress is also a singer and humanitarian who serves the social and entertainment industries. There was an era in Bollywood that was ruled by Priyanka and that also came with a byproduct that not everyone appreciated her success. Some tried to jeopardise it.
PC in a latest interview has revealed that during the peak days of her career, there were people who wanted to cut on her work.
¡°I have had people wanting to jeopardise my career, take away from my work, make sure I wasn¡¯t cast just because I was doing well in what I was doing,¡± she told a YouTuber on ¡®The Ranveer Show¡¯. Priyanka added, ¡°But that¡¯s not what stops me. I don¡¯t sit and wait and harp on, maybe I will cry one night when an opportunity was taken away from me, but I don¡¯t sit in the s**t.¡±
PC went on to add that in order to prevent oneself from turning ¡®dark¡¯ and ¡®negative¡¯ in life, ¡°You have to shut off the noise. Focus on the one person who believes in you. Focus on light, a little bit of inspiration that you might see and that¡¯s the hardest thing to do because you are bogged down by baggage and shackles of people holding you down.¡±
Priyanka also opened up on why she thinks Indians don¡¯t celebrate each other and how good it would have been if there was ¡°strength in numbers¡±.
She said, ¡°In India, we are not people as a people, very few of us are happy for somebody else¡¯s success. My hypothesis is, we were colonised till 1947. We¡¯ve just about, not even been 100 years, been our own country, our own people. If we only collectively banded together and supported other successful people in our fields, we would be unstoppable in the world. We are one-fifth of the world¡¯s population.¡±
When Ranveer Allahbadia on his Beerbiceps podcast further asked her about the conspiracy theories around her success, PC broke into laughter.
Ranveer asked PC, ¡°Your future's so bright that there are conspiracy theories about you that you¡¯ve made deals with the devil to achieve this level of success, that you¡¯re a Satanic worshipper.¡± To which she humorously replied, ¡°Horrible! Haw, Shiv Ji will be very upset with me.¡± See their full interaction here:
On the professional front, Priyanka will be soon seen in the romantic drama Love Again and the sci-fi film Ending Things. The diva is also ready to make her Bollywood comeback with Farhan Akhtar¡¯s road trip film Jee Le Zaraa, in which she¡¯ll star alongside Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.
