Priyanka Chopra reveals her pet peeve about female characters, says, ‘They’re emotionally marred versus the male characters’

Priyanka Chopra is one of the biggest superstars in the industry and she has had a huge trajectory of characters over the years. We have seen her play a fearless FBI agent Alex Parrish, champion boxer Mary Kom, a selfless mother in The Sky Is Pink. Priyanka has always been one to voice her opinions and promote more female-centric roles in movies.

Well, the actress recently revealed her pet peeve and it is exactly just that ‘weakly written female roles’. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Priyanka said, “It’s a pet peeve of mine when female characters are diminished, or they’re made emotional or they can’t make decisions because they’re emotionally marred versus the male characters.”

Priyanka further said that she has ‘fought that in many, many jobs that I’ve done over time’. Further, the actress said that though she has been promoting ore stronger roles for women, it still remains her pet peeve when ‘female characters are written as weak because they’re female’.

Earlier too, Priyanka was questioned in an interview about her role in The Matrix Resurrections being really brief, she had said, “I think you are coming from something which a lot of people from the South Asian community ask me. ‘Oh, it’s a small role, it’s not a leading role. Why did you do it?’ (laughs) Because it’s The Matrix and I play an extremely pivotal part. Even when I picked my movies in Bollywood, I have always picked roles according to characters and they are not necessarily always the lead. The lead is Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Trinity in the last three movies. You’re not competing with that and I think it’s such a myopic and very small mentality to think that way.”
