Priyanka Chopra on sexual harassment: It had become a norm with women

At the Women in World Summit 2019 in New York, Priyanka Chopra spoke at length about her professional life, #MeToo, husband Nick Jonas and a lot more. On sexual harassment, and #MeToo movement, the ‘Quantico’ actress said, “Sexual harassment had become a norm with women. Now, because of the support we are giving each other, people don’t have the power to shut us down.”

Also, she spoke on the stereotyping of South Asian actors by saying, “I played ethnically ambiguous parts. It took me all those ethnically ambiguous parts to be where I am today. I did not want to do stereotype roles because then all you will see is what I already know I can do. I am Indian, I can do that.”

When Women in the World founder Tina Brown asked PeeCee whether she ever faced sexual harassment, she raised her hand and said that everybody in this room has probably faced one because it had become a norm with women.

While talking about her husband Nick Jonas, she said that he has been very supportive of her career. “I am a wild child, I do whatever I want whenever I want and he always supports me,” said Priyanka.

On the work front, Priyanka will be seen in Shonali Bose’s ‘The Sky is Pink’ that has Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim. Also, in the event, she said that she is writing a book this year and will produce Indian and American content.
