Priyanka Chopra says people jeopardised her career, made sure she was not cast in films

Actor Priyanka Chopra in a recent interview opened up about how people tried to jeopardise her career while she was doing well.

During her appearance in The Ranveer Show, she said people wanted to take away from her work and make sure she wasn’t cast in films. However, she never got bogged down by those who tried to pull her down. The actor said her focus is on that one person who believes in her.

‘But that’s not what stops me. I don’t sit and wait and harp on, maybe I will cry one night when an opportunity was taken away from me, but I don’t sit in the s**t.’ She added to prevent yourself from becoming ‘dark’ and ‘negative’ in life, 'You have to shut off the noise. Focus on the one person who believes in you. Focus on light, a little bit of inspiration that you might see and that’s the hardest thing to do because you are bogged down by baggage and shackles of people holding you down,’ she said.

Priyanka Chopra also expressed her belief that in India very few people are happy about somebody’s success.
‘In India, we are not people as a people, very few of us are happy for somebody else’s success. My hypothesis is, we were colonised till 1947. We’ve just about, not even been 100 years, been our own country, our own people,’ she said.

She added that if we only collectively banded together and supported other successful people in our fields, we would be unstoppable in the world as we are one-fifth of the world’s population.
