Today, she stands as a global icon, and no introduction is needed for her...

Yes, we are talking about Priyanka Chopra, who won the Miss World crown in 2000. With that victory, Priyanka not only laid the foundation for her career but also established her place in the Indian film industry. But her success story didn’t stop there. Priyanka expanded her reach, establishing herself in both Bollywood and Hollywood and emerging as an international star.

Recently, Priyanka celebrated 25 years in the entertainment industry and took the opportunity to share her journey with the media. She spoke openly about her struggles and successes, her rise to fame in Hollywood, and the changes she has experienced in her personality over the years.

"I Have Changed"

Priyanka Chopra acknowledged that she has undergone significant personal and professional changes. Reflecting on her growth, she mentioned, "I have changed a lot. As a professional, I've become much better at accepting failures and changes." She further added, "I'm not one of those people who talk about their weaknesses, but there are some who do, and I find that really inspiring."

No New Territory in Hollywood

Priyanka also shared how working in the international industry wasn’t a new experience for her. "Working in the U.S. wasn’t anything new because I studied there during my teenage years," she said, highlighting how her earlier experiences helped her adjust to Hollywood with ease.

The Difference Between Bollywood and Hollywood

When asked about the differences between working in Bollywood and Hollywood, Priyanka explained that the film production process in both industries is very similar. "The only real difference is the cultural diversity that sets them apart. The way things work in each industry is shaped by its culture," she shared.

Challenges in Hollywood

Talking about the challenges she faced while transitioning to Hollywood, Priyanka admitted, "I am a very private person, and dealing with the expectations and pressures that come with being in the spotlight was hard for me." But she also emphasized how these challenges have helped her grow over time.

"Be Like Water"
Priyanka firmly believes in the idea of adaptability, saying, "I don’t expect Hollywood to be like Bollywood, or vice versa. Be like water, not rigid. Throughout my life, I've always believed in staying quiet, listening, and finding my own place." She added, "I am not afraid of ambition. I’ve always said that everyone has the potential for big dreams. You just have to keep moving forward."
