Priyanka Chopra Jonas, in her latest sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, revealed that during her initial days in the industry, she was asked to deliver a dance performance which made her uncomfortable.
The actor said that she regrets not confronting the director for the incident. “I was told to have an opinion in a room that disagreed with me. I was always encouraged to have a voice," she said, speaking about her upbringing. However, she couldn't call out the director and she still regrets it. "I was so scared. I was new in the entertainment business and girls are always told that 'you don't want to get a reputation of being hard to work with.' So I worked within the system," she said. Priyanka eventually quit the movie.
This interview will give audiences a closer look into the actor’s journey of self-discovery, her marriage to Nick Jonas and her New York Times best-selling memoir, Unfinished.
