Priyanka Chopra opens up on shifting to the west, “I was being pushed in a corner in the Bollywood industry” : Bollywood News

Over the last several years, Priyanka Chopra has made a name for herself in the west. After coming up with songs like ‘In My City’ and ‘Exotic,’ she got her big break in the western world with the successful show Quantico. The actress has now revealed that she moved on to the US after she stopped receiving offers in Bollywood because she had “beef” with some people from the Hindi film industry.

Priyanka made the revelation on Dax Shepherd’s podcast Armchair Expert. She said, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people. I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break.”

She said that her manager Anjula Acharia made it possible. She saw Priyanka in a music video and asked her if she would like to make a career in music in the US. “This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it,” she added.

Priyanka had also earlier spoken about people from the industry wanting to “jeopardise” her career in The Ranveer Show by Ranveer Allahbadia. “I have had people wanting to jeopardise my career, take away from my work, make sure I wasn’t cast just because I was doing well in what I was doing,” she had said.

Priyanka is now gearing up for her keenly awaited international show Citadel. The Amazon Prime Video series is executive produced by the Russo Brothers.
