Priyanka Chopra On Her Initial Hollywood Career: There Were So Many Times I Wanted To Quit

In the past few months, the actor has been travelling around the world attending the premieres of her latest projects in Mumbai, London, Rome, Los Angeles and New York

Priyanka Chopra was recently busy promoting her two global web series- Prime Video's spy thriller Citadel and a rom-com Love Again that is currently in theatres. However, the actor, who features on Grazia UK as well as 12 other international editions, says that she is aware that her job as an actor is 'extremely inconsistent'. 

She told Grazia UK in the magazine interview about how she doesn't take her success for granted, “My job is extremely inconsistent. I could get cancelled tomorrow, people could decide I'm not flavour of the month. I have never been the kind of person who thinks I have made it.”

She went on to add that when she came to Hollywood, she got tired of the rejection initially. She said, “There were so many times I wanted to quit. I was tired of rejection. I felt dismissed and patronised on set, like people didn't believe I could do my job even when Bollywood is as huge as it is.”

In the past few months, the actor has been travelling around the world attending the premieres of her latest projects in Mumbai, London, Rome, Los Angeles and New York. Priyanka's husband, singer-actor Nick Jonas, and their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, accompany her for her work-related events.

In Citadel, she plays a spy named Nadia Sinh who has her memory wiped. Richard Madden plays another spy with a similar fate. She stars with Sam Heughan and Celine Dion in Love Again, which is directed by James C Strouse.

Her next project is Heads Of State with John Cena and Idris Elba in the UK. She is expected to make her return to Bollywood with Farhan Akhtar's Jee Le Zaraa. The film, which also co-stars Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, will begin filming by the end of this year.
