Priyanka Chopra Explains Why Bollywood Actors Today Are Reluctant To Work In Hollywood
PC addressed Shah Rukh Khan's statement on why he would never make a Hollywood film and claimed that being comfortable was "boring" for her.
Priyanka Chopra is now on a press tour to promote her new sci-fi series, Citadel, which will premiere later this year. Recently, the star of "Quantico" visited the SXSW Studio, where she addressed her relocation to the United States.
She also addressed Shah Rukh Khan's statement on why he would never make a Hollywood film and claimed that being comfortable was "boring" for her.
During an interview at SXSW 2023, Priyanka Chopra talked about her background and how she got to where she is now in Hollywood.
The interviewer asked why many well-known Indian actors and actresses don't want to move to Hollywood. "So many desi actors, like Shah Rukh Khan, say, ¡®why should I go there (Hollywood)? I¡¯m comfortable here.¡¯"
The journalist went on to inquire how Priyanka made her way around Hollywood.
Priyanka reacted by saying, "Comfortable is boring to me."
She added, "I am not arrogant, but self-assured. I know what I am doing when I walk onto a set. I don¡¯t need validation from executives. I am willing to take auditions, and I am willing to work. I do not carry the baggage of my success in one country when I walk into another."
Priyanka Chopra also stated that her ego is not bigger than her work. The Citadel actor added,
"I am very professional, and if you ask people around me, I am known for my professionalism. I take pride in it."
She was also grateful for her military-trained father, who taught her the importance of discipline and how to be grateful for what she had.
The actress's career has had a lasting impact on the world.
Priyanka Chopra established herself in the US entertainment industry over eight years ago. Her breakout role came on the hit American TV show Quantico. She made her big screen debut with 2017's Baywatch, starring alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. PC said she has "dodged bullets" by focusing on her work.
Priyanka Chopra will next be seen in Citadel, a series directed by the Russo Brothers, in which she plays the spy Nadia Sinh.
Some of the other actors in the show include Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, and Ashleigh Cummings. On April 28, the series will be available to view on Amazon Prime Video.
