Priyanka Chopra Birthday: From Rejection to Stardom – Her Inspiring Journey

Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who has spread her acting skills from Bollywood to Hollywood, is celebrating her 43rd birthday today. Today she is a global star, who is counted among the most influential and successful women in the world. But this dazzling journey was not as easy as it appears from the outside. To reach this point, she faced many difficulties, taunts, rejections and politics.

Priyanka's journey is from being an ordinary girl to becoming a global icon. Her story is not just about becoming a star, but it is an example of courage, confidence and self-respect.

 She became Miss World, but still did not get respect

When Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World crown in 2000, she was talked about all over the country. But when she entered films, she did not get the respect she deserved. In the beginning, she was ridiculed a lot because of her dark complexion and thin body.

She had to hear things like 'Kaali Billi', 'Dusky', 'Not fit for a heroine'. Some questioned her looks, while others questioned her acting talent. But Priyanka ignored all these things and proved herself.

Treated like strangers in the industry

Priyanka had said in an interview - "I had to face favouritism, gangsterism and politics. Sometimes I did not get a role because of someone's girlfriend, and sometimes I was told that I am not fit for this role." She had to face continuous rejection for about one and a half years. There came a time when no one in the industry wanted to work with her. Every effort was made to break her confidence.

Smita Jaykar, the actress who played Priyanka's mother in the film 'Kismat', said, "When I saw Priyanka for the first time, I thought - how did she become a heroine?" Later, she admitted that she was wrong, and Priyanka proved her wrong.

When she left the film because she was fed up with the director's behavior

An incident is mentioned in Priyanka's autobiography 'Unfinished'. Despite being new in the industry, a director mistreated her. Priyanka had to listen to obscene comments about her clothes in the song. She left the film midway, but did not tell anyone, because she was afraid that people would question her instead.

 Bollywood politics troubled her

Priyanka told in an interview - "I was being isolated in Bollywood. People were not casting me in films. I did not fit in politics, so I left the industry." When she got a chance from Hollywood, she shifted there and from there she created a new identity.
