Bollywood A-lister Priyanka Chopra is one of those few Indian actors to have truly made her space in Hollywood. The TV show Quantico, with which she made her name in the West, is expected to end with its third season, but Priyanka is on board for two more Hollywood films, following her role of a sassy villain in Baywatch (2017). In Bollywood, she\u2019ll be seen next in Bharat, with Salman Khan.<\/p>\n
Being so well established in two of the world\u2019s biggest entertainment industries, Priyanka knows them inside out, but when asked what Bollywood and Hollywood can learn from each other, the 35-year-old actor has an unconventional answer. \u201cI don\u2019t think we need to learn anything from each other. I think we need to conform according to what\u2019s required for the people who\u2019re working in the industry within that country. If you\u2019re talking about pay parity and [sexual] harassment… [then] for example, [the lack of] pay parity happens in both countries, but the difference is that I see in Bollywood it\u2019s said more blatantly, but [in Hollywood] it\u2019ll be said in a more roundabout way, because nobody wants the liability or the responsibility that they\u2019re saying this,\u201d says Priyanka, whose upcoming Hollywood films include A Kid Like Jake and Isn\u2019t It Romantic.<\/p>\n
The actor emphasises that Bollywood should focus on improving itself, regardless of what happens in Hollywood. \u201cWe need to focus on ourselves and not somebody else. We need to look inside our own house and decide what we want to clean up. [We should] give opportunities to women, be it in entertainment or in education, or in any field they want to be. How do we give them opportunities and make them thrive? The Commonwealth Games are such amazing examples. Most of the medals are won by women. You give women opportunities and they\u2019ll thrive. Whether it\u2019s Hollywood or our Hindi film industry, I think we need to focus on ourselves, instead of comparing ourselves with someone else,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Priyanka, who was recently busy shooting for Quantico Season 3, had earlier been asked if her Hollywood commitments made her miss out on any major Bollywood film. At the time, praising the network that produced the show, she had said,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
