‘I was worried for going to H-wood’
Priyanka Chopra says when she chose to explore acting opportunities in the West, her only worry was whether she would be able to make a name for herself in Hollywood.
She earned global fame after starring in hit American TV show Quantico. “My worry (in the US), as an Indian actress, was whether the global entertainment industry was ready to see an Indian actor in the lead, as we haven't seen one before — be it in television or films. I was worried about it as it had not happened with any Indian actress,” said Priyanka.
‘I think the most amazing thing about me joining the film industry is that I never aim to be a superstar, I never believe to be like the best. That's not what I am looking for. I love to work, I love the camera and I like acting dancing and many other things.”
