Priyanka Chopra’s shocking revelations made by Madhu Chopra

Being in this industry is no easy job and if you are a woman, then god save you. For long, we have been tackling with the menaces like casting couch, wage disparity and more. And it is heartbreaking to know that mostly all the leading ladies of B-town have suffered such a setback at least once in their career. Priyanka Chopra, who is ruling in the West with her talent, has a similar story.

In a recent interview with Deccan Chronicle, her mother Madhu Chopra, has revealed how the actress lost on almost 10 films as she refused to oblige with the director’s unreasonable demands. Narrating the difficult journey that her daughter has braced, Madhu Chopra has quoted, “She was just 17 when she entered the industry, so I accompanied her every minute of the day till about three years ago. So a gentleman meets her and says: ‘Will your mother sit outside while I narrate the story to you?’ Priyanka told him, ‘If it is a story that my mother can’t hear then it is a story that I cannot do.’ She walked out of that project — a prestigious one. Another time, a designer told her that the director’s brief was to dress her in itsy-bitsy clothes. The director had said, ‘What is the point of having a Miss World in front of the camera if we cannot show her as her beautiful self?’ Priyanka refused to do the film. It was being helmed by a reputed director and he got upset. Priyanka lost 10 films because she walked out of that project. But she didn’t care. That is what I say to everyone. This is not the end of your life. Your life is more valuable.”

More power to you Priyanka. We are glad that you did not give up. (Also Read: WOW! Priyanka Chopra adds another feather in her cap)
