Priyanka Chopra’s interview with the iconic presenter Oprah Winfrey from Super Soul gathered a lot of buzz. The main topic of conversation is Chopra’s recently released memoirs, Unfinished: A Memoir.
But from the memoirs, in which Chopra writes about her remarkable life, come stories about childhood, career, family, relationships and marriage. Thus, the conversation is quite uninhibited.
Here are five reviews from the interview:
1. Priyanka Chopra is a firm believer in God
During the interview, PeeCee said that being Indian, she was exposed to almost any major religion and religious practice while growing up and believing in greater power. She said during the interview: “In India it is hard not to, you are 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. “
2. When her faith was tested
Her father’s death tested Priyanka’s faith. She told Oprah in response to a question: “I was very angry. My relationship with God has changed a little. But at the same time, I feel that God has 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. “
3. She was racially assaulted and harassed at school
Priyanka revealed that she moved to Boston, USA at the age of 16. There, she was the target of intense racial aggression. She told Oprah, “High school is tough anyway. To be an adult, to understand your body as a woman. At the same time being devalued for something I could not change. I was not aware that this should embarrass me. ”
4. How Priyanka judged the book after its cover on Nick Jonas
During the interview, Oprah discussed Nick’s subject and how Priyanka wrote in her memory that her mother “dreamed” of him. Priyanka said that when she first looked at Nick, she may have “judged the book by the cover.” She added: “Maybe I judged the book by its cover. I didn’t take him seriously when Nick texted me. I was 35 years old, I was saying to myself: “I want to get married, I want to have children. He’s about 20, I wouldn’t want him to do that. I did this for a while, until I actually went out with him. “
5. Priyanka regrets that she did not stand up when she was mistreated by the filmmakers
Priyanka talked about her struggles in the early days in the film industry, which involved a director who forced her to do a dance show. She revealed that due to the fact that she is a newcomer, she could not find the courage to express her opinion. She said: “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. ”
