Acclaimed Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra has recalled a bumpy ride of her life, a ‘dark period’ which the star unfortunately grappled with after transitioning from Bollywood to Hollywood despite her extensive filmography in Indian showbiz.
Recently, the global superstar sat for a conversation with Cavanaugh James on his podcast, Read The Room. During the conversation, the actress spoke about the challenges she encountered during several rejections in the West. In her words:
“It was like starting all over again. I started right from the beginning. I have been on the cover of a certain magazine six times in my country, but in the US, they wouldn't even take a meeting with me. That took a lot, and I was like it’s okay!”
Despite the constant setbacks she came across, PeeCee kept moving forward and looked at the rejections as humbling experiences. Moreover, she kept her head down and did all the hard yards to reach the stage where she is now at present. Sharing how she promised not to be upset about rejections, Priyanka added:

“It humbles you to be like this is where I am right now. I was like I am not going to be upset by it, or I am not going to say that's a closed door, I am going to navigate something else. I am gonna see where else I can go, and what else can be my next move. I put my head down and did the work. I didn't bring my pride of 'I am a leading lady and blah blah...' I didn’t do that and that's what helped me find a position in which I am today.”

In the same conversation, Priyanka also mentioned that she is a solution-oriented person and wants everything to be solved. According to her, there comes a time in everyone’s life when there are no solutions, and people have to go through tough situations. This is exactly what helped her ride the wave instead of fighting it, which led her to reach a chill place in her life where good, bad, or ugly, she doesn’t let anything rip through her like it used to.
