Priyanka Chopra addresses Shah Rukh Khan’s comment on not moving to Hollywood

Actor Priyanka Chopra, who moved to the West almost eight years ago and gained recognition with her work in the American TV series ‘Quantico’, has addressed Shah Rukh Khan’s remark on why he would never do a Hollywood film.

During the promotion of her much-awaited series ‘Citadel’, the interviewer quoted SRK’s comment on why he doesn’t think about featuring in a Hollywood movie. The SXSW interviewer told PeeCee, ‘Shah Rukh Khan says, ‘why should I go there (Hollywood), I am comfortable here.' To this, Priyanka replied, ‘Comfortable is boring to me. I am not arrogant, I am self-assured. I know what I am doing when I walk onto a set. I don’t need the validation of executives. I am willing to take auditions, I am willing to work. I do not carry the baggage of my success in one country when I walk into another country.’

Priyanka added ‘I am very professional and if you ask people around me, I am known for my professionalism. I take pride in it. My father was in the military and he taught me the value of discipline. He taught me not to take the value of what you have been given for granted.’

The actor believes that she has not wasted her time on anything else and has ‘botched the bullets and just focussed on my job.’
The Russo Brother series ‘Citadel’ will start streaming on Prime Video on April 28. The series also stars Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville as Dahlia Archer, Osy Ikhile as Carter Spence and Ashleigh Cummings as Abby Conroy. Priyanka plays the role of a spy, Nadia Sinh in the series.
