Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals dehumanising moment with Bollywood director
Actress, Priyanka Chora-Jonas revealed in an interview with The Zoe Report why she left Bollywood and how she was dehumanised by a Bollywood director. She said:
“This may have been 2002 or 2003” Chopra said. “I’m undercover, I’m seducing the guy – obviously that’s what girls do when they’re undercover. But I’m seducing the guy and you have to take off one piece of clothing [at a time]… I wanted to layer up [but] the filmmaker was like, ‘No, I need to see her underwear. Otherwise why is anybody coming to watch this movie?’”
The Citadel actress said she reimbursed the money paid by production in order to make a clean break.
“He didn’t say it to me,” Chopra added. “He said it to the stylist in front of me. It was such a dehumanising moment. It was a feeling of, ‘I’m nothing else outside of how I can be used, my art is not important, what I contribute is not important.’”
“I just couldn’t look at [the director] every day,”
Well look at her now! She is doing really well in Hollywood and I love her new series ,Citadel alongside Richard Madden.
