New Delhi: Bollywood has been home to several actors and actresses who have proved their talent globally and have been acclaimed worldwide.
One such actress is Priyanka Chopra, who not just rules the glam industry here in India, but has been a sensation in United States with her remarkable performance in the American series ‘Quantico'.
While the Bollywood diva has made the US go completely crazy for her and the actress herself has been in love with the country as well, this was not always the scene with PeeCee.
PeeCee's experience in the US as a teen wasn't pretty good as the diva was bullied back then because of her culture.
Yes! It's true. Recalling the incident while talking to a web portal, Priyanka said, “When I went to school here, I didn't see anyone who looked like me. I was called 'Brownie' and told, 'Take your curry and go back to your country.”
When it was way too hard for young Priyanka to bear all that, she came back to India.
And today she is so glad that she returned as she won the Miss India pageant and later the Miss World pageant.
Priyanka Chopra soon made a niche in Bollywood, but then she ended up facing more discrimination, this time for being a woman.
After asking one film producer questions about her compensation, "He said, 'Well if you can't adjust we can just launch a new girl because girls are interchangeable anyways in movies.' That stuck with me," says Chopra. "I didn't want to be interchangeable."
And now PeeCee has proved herself way too successfully as, aside from Quantico, she has 50 Hindi films under her belt.
Indeed Priyanka Chopra is one of the best actresses not just in India but in the US as well.
