Many Bollywood celebrities, including Kangana Ranaut, Vivek Agnihotri, and Shekhar Suman, came out in support of Priyanka. Now, actor Neetu Chandra has also reacted to her remark.
She said, ‘Ye sabke sath hota hai, it is not like kisi ek ke sath hota hai (it happens with everyone, not just with a person in particular). If you don’t come from a film family, you have to fight for opportunities in this industry. It takes time to do good work. Priyanka has felt it, I have felt it. A lot of other people have felt it. The point is whether you can come forward and speak about it or not. Like I have said earlier also.’
In her recent interview on the podcast ‘Armchair Expert’ with Dax Shepherd. Priyanka said, ‘I was not happy with the work I was getting in Bollywood. I am going to talk about this for the first time because I feel insecure to talk about it. Anjali Acharya of Desi Hits once saw me in a music video and called me. At that time I was shooting for Saat Khoon Maaf. Anjali asked me if I would like to make my music career in America? I was looking for an escape from Bollywood at that time. I was looking for some way to get out of here. I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. People were not casting me. I had complaints with people. I am not good at playing those kinds of games. I was tired of politics and I needed a break.’
In 2015, Priyanka made her US TV debut with ‘Quantico’. Following this, she acted in several Hollywood films as well, including ‘Baywatch’ (2017) and ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ (2021).
She will next be seen in the spy series ‘Citadel’ which will start streaming on Prime Video on April 28.
