Priyanka’s remark on her Mangalsutra

Recently, PeeCee shared a video of a jewellery brand. She endorsed the new launch of Mangalsutra designs by the brand. And during the conversation with Lucia Silverstri, Priyanka revealed her first thoughts on wearing a Mangalsutra as a modern woman. She said, I remember when I wore mine for the first time… because we have grown with the idea of what it means. It was just a very special moment for me. At the same time, as a modern woman, I also understand the repercussions of what it means. Do I like the idea of wearing mangalsutra or is it too patriarchal? But at the same time, I am that generation that's sort of in the middle. Maintain tradition but know who you are and what you stand for. And we'll see the next generation of girls might do differently.

Priyanka on Oscar hosting fiasco

Last year when Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra hosted the Oscar nominees, the two lovebirds were trolled by some. And it included an Australian journo as well. He had questioned their qualifications for hosting the Oscar nominees. Recently, in an interview with Vanity Fair, the actress addressed the same. She revealed that she was furious. I usually don’t get mad, but that just pissed me off. I’ll be mad, I’ll be angry, I’ll be annoyed. I’ll speak about it to my family. I might cry a little bit, but it doesn’t change my relationship with my work and what my actual quest is. My quest is not people’s opinions. My quest is my job. My quest is making sure that when someone watches something that I have done, it moves them or they enjoy it. My personal life, who I am, all of that is not my job, the Jee Lee Zaraa actress said.

Priyanka’s statement on playing Mary Kom in her biopic

Recently during an interview with Vanity Fair, Priyanka revealed that she had reservations about playing Mary Kom in her biopic. She said, When I played Mary Kom, I was very sceptical taking it on in the beginning because she was a living, breathing icon and she made place for so many female athletes. Plus, I look nothing like her. She comes from the northeast of India and I am from northern India and we physically didn’t look alike. In hindsight, the part should have probably gone to someone from the northeast. Priyanka's statement instantly went viral online and received a lot of attention.
