In light of her early career as a beauty pageant contestant/actress in India, who then made the plunge into both Hollywood and entrepreneurship, Priyanka notes in the article: “Every successful career, in any field, will definitely have an evolution. Complacency sets in if you don’t try and evolve.”
Priyanka also emphasizes on the idea of paving her own path as she says both in the article and video interview, “[I am create] something that is my own legacy rather than being one of the many successful people in the world. So I work towards that.”
Ever since she engrained herself in the Bollywood industry with films like Barfi!, Fashion and Mary Kom, Priyanka emerged in Hollywood with main roles in the TV show Quantico and soon the film-version of the popular TV series Baywatch. (mra/kes)
