While the #MeToo movement has made Hollywood directors and producers’ lewd behavior legendary, it’s no different in Indian cinema. In an interview with Zoe Report, 40-year-old Priyanka Chopra mentioned one such case. In the early years of her career, she was embarrassed by a Bollywood director, whose name the star did not disclose. According to the actress, on the set, he forced her to show her underwear.
Perhaps it was in 2002 or 2003. According to the plot, I worked undercover and at the same time seduced a guy, and what else is a girl undercover to do. And I had to gradually take off one piece of clothing. When I stopped, the director said, “No, I need to see her underwear. Otherwise, why would anyone go to watch this movie?”. But he did not say this to me, but to the stylist with me. It was such an inhuman moment. Then I felt: “I — nothing but something that can be used. My art doesn’t matter, what I do doesn’t matter,” Priyanka said.
According to Chopra, for her this moment was an ordeal, after which she left the shooting, and after a couple of days. She had to pay the team compensation, but the father of the actress convinced her to quit anyway.
I just couldn’t look at this man every day,” she added.
Not so long ago, Priyanka said that she refused to work in Bollywood, because the Indian film industry simply “pushed her into a corner”.
I was not allowed to audition, I had disagreements with people, I’m not very good at this game, so I kind of got tired of such politics and said that I needed a break.
Now Priyanka is one of the most sought-after Hollywood stars along with her husband Nick Jonas. At the beginning of last year, they became parents for the first time. By the way, the couple met on the Internet — read a whole article about star couples who have had novels on social networks, read here.
In early May, Priyanka Chopra also spoke about a failed rhinoplasty that affected not only her self-esteem, but also her career. After the operation, the actress fell into a deep depression, from which therapy and the support of loved ones helped her get out.
My father held my hands and helped me regain my self-confidence,” she admitted.
