From being the winner of Miss World in 2000 to becoming one of the best-known Indian faces in the world, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has created a niche for herself in both Bollywood and Hollywood. Though with a thriving career in India, Priyanka crossed the sea and ventured into opportunities in the West a decision that keeps entertainment professionals talking.
In a promotional interview for her global series Citadel, the actress was questioned regarding this significant change. The reporter quoted Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan, who had famously once said, “Why should I go there (Hollywood)? I am comfortable here.” Priyanka’s reply to this caused headlines and applause for its straightforwardness.
“Comfortable Is Boring”: Priyanka’s Honest Take
In response to the comparison, Priyanka gave a strong and confident response. “Comfortable is boring to me,” she asserted. “I am not arrogant, I am confident. I know what I am doing when I step onto a set. I don’t need the approval of executives. She also described her work attitude and mentality, continuing, “I am ready to take auditions, I am ready to work. I don’t carry the baggage of my success somewhere else when I step into another country. I am very professional, and if you ask the people around me, I am famous for being professional.”
Priyanka also attributed her father, who served in the Indian Army, for instilling discipline and humility in her. “He taught me the importance of discipline and not to take the opportunities given to me for granted,” she further added.
Past Rumors and Professional Poise
For the uninformed, Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan were said to be romantically involved when they were shooting for Don 2. Nevertheless, neither of them ever confirmed or dispelled these rumors publicly. Both have since gone on to maintain diplomatic silence and followed their individual career paths, with rumors gradually taking a backseat.
