Priyanka Chopra finally speaks out in response to media reports about her relationships and mistakes, claiming that she is okay with hate speech.
Priyanka Chopra’s revelations about Bollywood shocked the entire country. Many people thought she was carving a path to Hollywood, but she was forced to leave because of the unsavoury dynamics of the business. Her reported relationships with actors including Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Shahid Kapoor have been the subject of several speculations. She now speaks out about all such reports.
Even Kangana Ranaut has alleged that Karan Johar had difficulties with PeeCee’s closeness to Shah Rukh Khan. There have been rumours that the two were having an affair, and SRK even broke his silence to refute these rumours in the past. Chopra had previously been concerned by other such rumours heard through the grapevine, but she remained politely silent.
Priyanka Chopra was questioned during the Film Companion’s Front Row discussion about how she handles criticism and bullying. The actress from The Citadel replied, “I came to terms with the byproduct of fame very early in my career. When I first joined the industry I quickly realized that women specifically, but generally, actors are more written about- and this is you thing, like a media thing. People like to write about everything else but their achievements. Media likes to write about how they fell on a stage how they tripped up on a word, or anything…especially for women, that time it was written about who’s her boyfriend, who is she seeing. So you had no identity, it happened right at the beginning of my career. So I took a decision to keep my private life very private. I was ferociously private about it. I’ve never ever spoken about it and it is something that I maintain even now.”
She added, “I am a public figure which means most of my life is for consumption. You can talk about me I can’t stop you. You can sit and eat bread with your grandparents and say ‘Accha usne toh yeh pehna tha. usne toh ye kia tha. Uska toh ye hua tha. Main toh nahi rok sakti.’ (Oh, she wore this, she did that. She had done this. I can’t stop that.) I can’t come in to your houses and do that. So I have to make peace with the fact that that’s going to happen and I did that very early. I started protecting myself by creating a really tight circle of people that I trust. My team, my family, my friends.”
Priyanka Chopra’s next professional appearance will be with Richard Madden in Citadel.
