Meanwhile, talking about Priyanka Chopra’s book Unfinished she has traced her journey in the film industry as well as her personal journey. In an interview with Film Companion, Priyanka said, “I was honest about things that mattered to me and my journey right now. Which is why I mean that this is a very honest reflection of where I am at the moment. I didn’t edit my book in a way that ‘this is something I don’t want to talk about’ or ‘this is something I can’. If it is true to me in the moment, it is in the book. If it doesn’t matter to me, it is not in the book. It is very honest telling of that tale.”
