10 great quotes from Priyanka Chopra’s interview with Oprah Winfrey

New Delhi:

Priyanka Chopra, a global icon, became the talk of the town after giving an interview to iconic presenter Oprah Winfrey Super Soul. It was a virtual interview (but it didn’t look like that, all because of technology). Priyanka is in London and appeared in Oprah Winfrey, who is in Maui, Hawaii, using the latest technology. Here are 10 great quotes from her interview about it all:

1 –Priyanka Chopra Husband Nick Jonas

I even judged the book by its cover. Honestly, I didn’t take it very seriously when Nick texted me. I was 35 years old and I want to get married and I want to have children. He’s 20 … I don’t know if that’s what he wants to do. I did this for a while until I actually went out with him. Nothing surprised me more than you know him. He’s such a confident man, so sensitive, so excited about my accomplishments, my dreams … you know. Such a true partnership, he gives me everything we do together, so I really think my mother showed it.

2 –Priyanka Chopra to win her 2000 Miss World

I was thrown deep and so bad. I didn’t come from a competition family. I did not come from this desire. I never thought I could be a part of this. At 17, when you’re thrown into this crazy world of international competitions and movies, I was just trying to keep my head above water at the time.

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

What I miss most about him is how carelessly proud he would be of me in the smallest things. Even if I have dinner and my plate is clean, my father would be delighted. If I wore a dress I liked, my father would be delighted. From the smallest thing to the biggest thing, he would be the coolest in the room. I miss the noise, the enthusiasm he had, the joy and investment he had in my life and how excited he was for everything that looked at me. I feel that he played an important role in being where I am today. He helped me find a sense of peace that I never had when I was around. He always saw me as a fool, trying to get to the new place and he always wanted me to have a sense of peace. That’s when I feel him around, when I feel calm.

4 –Priyanka Chopra On testing her faith

I’m thinking about my father’s death. At that time, [my faith] it was tested … I flew my father 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 little … but at the same time, I feel that God helped me to find salvation and get out of it. But at that point, it was tested. Oh, man, I went to every temple I had to go to. I said every prayer. I met every man or woman I had to meet, every doctor I had to go to. I flew my father 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 about her memory Unfinished

I committed to write 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 had this time because of COVID and that helped me really deepen. Honestly, I also feel like I, as a woman, am in a slightly safer place, where I felt I could leave behind the insecurities of my 20s and I don’t worry about what scared me a lot. I have a little more confidence in myself. Which 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 it was to write about my life. If you want to dig deep, what I really wanted can be uncomfortable. Many times I wouldn’t finish writing about something, because I just didn’t know how I really felt about it.

6 – Priyanka Chopra about her spirituality

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

7 – Priyanka Chopra In the face of racial aggression at school

I think high school is hard anywhere, right? And to be an adult, to understand your body as a woman and at the same time to be devalued for something I can’t change or you know that I wasn’t even aware that this should make me feel embarrassed. But I think when I was made to feel like, my clothes smelled funny when I walked down a hallway or people smelled of curry or you know things like that at 16 are so bad for the sense of self-worth, your sense of self. self. It’s just being bad, trying to hurt someone. In retrospect now, I think they probably didn’t know what they were really doing, they were just trying to hurt someone. But at that time, at the age of 16, I remember saying to myself, “I don’t want to live in this country.” I called my mother, she came and we went home.

8 – Priyanka Chopra about the filmmaker who mistreated her

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

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

My mother walking down the aisle was a great moment. I reached out for my mother to come and I felt my father’s presence so great at that moment.

10 – Priyanka Chopra On White Tiger

I had read the book in 2008 and actually read that the movie was 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 work in America about 5-6 years ago, m -I just thought that not in the consciousness of filmmakers a main role can be played by a brown person. And I didn’t want the film to be put in an “independent” film or put in a box of genre film that happens when you see that the main cast is completely white. I really wanted to be able to EP it and bring as many eyeballs as possible to the film because the story is universal.
