1 –Priyanka Chopra about husband Nick Jonas

I really judged the book for its cover. Honestly, I didn’t take it very seriously when Nick texted me. I was 35 and I want to get married and I want to have kids. He’s in his twenties … I don’t know if he would like to do that. I did it for a while until I went out with him. Nothing surprised me more than you know him. He is such a confident man, so sensible, so excited by my successes, by my dreams … you know. Such a true partnership that it offers me everything we do together, which I think my mother really manifested.

2 –Priyanka Chopra in her 2000 Miss World victory

They threw me into the depths and so bad. He didn’t come from a contest family. I just didn’t want to. I never thought I could be a part of it. At 17, when you are thrown into this crazy world of contests and movies internationally, at that time I was just trying to keep my head on the water.

3 –Priyanka Chopra about how much she misses her late father

I miss more about him the bewildered pride in me that I would be in the smallest things. Even if I had dinner and my plate was clean, my dad would be excited. If I wore a dress I liked, my dad would be thrilled. From the smallest to the largest, it would be the strongest in the room. I miss the noise, the excitement I had, the joy and investment I had in my life and the excitement I had before for everything I had in me. I think it’s been critical for me to be where I am today. It helped me find a sense of peace, which I never had when I was around. He always saw me as reckless, trying to get to the new place and always wanted me to have a sense of peace. That’s when I feel him around, when I feel calm.

4 –Priyanka Chopra, tested her faith

I think of my father’s death. In that moment, [my faith] It was tested … I flew my dad to Singapore, New York, Europe, India, everywhere, just to do everything I could to prolong his life. It’s such a helpless feeling. I was very angry, my relationship with God changed a bit … but at the same time, I feel like God helped me find salvation and get out of it too. But at that moment it was tried. Oh man, I went to all the temples where I was. I said all the prayers I had to say. I knew all the gods or women I needed to know, all the doctors I had to go to. I flew my dad to Singapore, New York, Europe, India, everywhere, just to do everything I could to prolong his life. It’s such a helpless feeling.

5 – Priyanka Chopra in his memoirs Unfinished

I had committed to writing the book in 2018 and, between all those flights and the little time I would get in all those hotel rooms I lived in, I could never write. But I spent that time because of COVID and that helped me dig deeper. Honestly, I also feel like a woman, I’m in a little safer, where I felt like I could leave behind the insecurities of my twenties and not worry about what used to scare me. a lot. I have a little more confidence in myself. What I bring to the table professionally, personally … so it really helped me approach my life. And I’ve always wanted to write a book and I thought the easiest way to do that is to write about my life. If you want to dig deeper, something you really wanted, it can be awkward. There were many times I didn’t finish writing about something because I didn’t know how I really felt about it.

6 – Priyanka Chopra on her spirituality

In India it’s hard not to, you’re right. With the growing number of religions living in the country … I grew up in a convent school. Therefore, he was aware of Christianity. My father sang in a mosque. I was aware of Islam. I grew up in a Hindu family. He was aware of it. Spirituality is such a big part of India that you can’t ignore it. I am Hindu. Please, I have a temple at home, I do it as often as I can. But honestly, I think there is a higher power and I like to have faith in that.

7 – Priyanka Chopra on tackling racial harassment at school

I think high school is hard anywhere, right? And being an adult, understanding your body as a woman and at the same time being devalued by something I can’t change or you know I wasn’t even aware of the fact that this should embarrass me. But I guess when they made me feel, my clothes smelled funny when I walked down a hallway or people smelled like curry or you know little things like that at 16 are so bad for the feeling of self-esteem, me. It’s just about being mean, trying to hurt someone. Now, in retrospect, I think they probably didn’t know what they were really doing, I was just trying to hurt someone. But at that time, at 16, I remember him saying to me, “I don’t want to live in this country.” I called my mom, she came and we went home.

8 – Priyanka Chopra about the filmmaker who mistreated her

I was so scared. I was new to the world of entertainment and girls are always told that “you don’t want to have a reputation for being hard to work with”. So I worked within the system.

9 – Priyanka Chopra in the most memorable part of her wedding to Nick Jonas

My mom taking me down the hallway was a really big moment. I reached out for my mother to come and I felt my father’s presence in such a big way at that moment.

10 – Priyanka Chopra On The white tiger

I had read the book around 2008 and actually read that the film was being adapted for Netflix on Twitter and I told my agents to call and offer my services as an executive producer because I was looking for a job in America about 5 -6 years. a moment ago, I just thought it wasn’t really in the filmmakers ’consciousness that a brown person could play a leading role. And I didn’t want the film to be put into an “independent” film or a genre movie box that would end up happening when you see the main cast is completely white. I was really looking forward to being able to EP it and get as many eyeballs as I can in the movie because the story is universal.
