Priyanka Chopra explains why she chose Hollywood over Bollywood
Former Indian actress Priyanka Chopra turned 41 on July 18. She has been in the entertainment industry for close to two decades. The veteran has over 50 films to her name. Meanwhile, on her birth anniversary, she revealed how weird it was for her when she auditioned for her first job in Hollywood.
For the unversed, she worked in Quantico alongside former WWE wrestler, Dwayne Johnson. Apart from this, she has worked in Love Again, Baywatch, Citadel, and many more.
In Good Morning America, Priyanka revealed why it was ‘weird’ for her to audition. She shared, “I guess that’s how it’s done here”, further adding, “Because I ended up being Miss World — I’m just casually putting that out there, in 2000 –so people kind of knew who I was and [I] was cast in movies because it made sense. And then I just ended up doing a lot of them because I guess I was decent at my job.”
I was being pushed into a corner: Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra, recently, went all out and open about her life in Bollywood on Dax Shepherd’s podcast. She said, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry (Bollywood). I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, and I am not good at playing that game, so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break. So, when this music thing came, I was like ‘f*** it, I am going to America’.”
Notably, Chopra was expected to share screen space with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif in ‘Jee Le Zaraa’. However, she walked out on the film and was expected to be replaced by Anushka Sharma and Kareena Kapoor but no luck so far.
The film will be directed by Farhan Akhtar, and he might star in it as well. Priyanka’s next film is titled ‘Heads Of State’, co-starring John Cena and Idris Elba. It will stream on Prime Video.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan Attend Daughter Aaradhya’s School Event Together
Amid rumors about their relationship, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan attended their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan’s annual day event at Dhirubhai Ambani School on Thursday evening. The couple was joined by Amitabh Bachchan, who came to support his granddaughter.
Aishwarya, dressed in a black suit with a printed dupatta, and Abhishek, casually clad in a hoodie and pants, were seen leaving the venue together with Aaradhya. A clip shared online showed Aaradhya, in her event costume, quickly getting into the car with her mother. Abhishek followed and sat in the front seat while Aishwarya and Aaradhya shared the back seat. As the car departed, Aishwarya was seen lovingly interacting with Aaradhya, holding her face and smiling.
During the event, Abhishek was seen holding Aishwarya’s hand as they entered the school. He also assisted her with her dupatta to ensure she didn’t trip. The couple actively participated, recording Aaradhya’s performance and cheering her on. Abhishek even danced with the students, showcasing his playful side.
The star-studded event was attended by several Bollywood families. Shah Rukh Khan, along with Gauri Khan and their daughter Suhana Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Taimur, Jeh, and Karisma Kapoor, were present to support their children.
The public appearance comes after rumors of tension between Aishwarya and Abhishek surfaced in July. Speculations arose when Aishwarya and Aaradhya attended Anant Ambani’s wedding separately from the rest of the Bachchan family. However, their united presence at Aaradhya’s school event seemingly puts the rumors to rest.
Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in Shoojit Sircar’s I Want to Talk, which released on November 22. Aishwarya’s latest work was Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2.
