At the Bridge Media Summit in Abu Dhabi, Priyanka Chopra Jonas reflected on her remarkable journey, from winning the Miss World title in 2000 to her successful Hollywood career. The 43-year-old actress credited her younger self for the hard work and perseverance that led to her success. Priyanka, who has over 75 million views on her latest Prime Video title "Heads of State," revealed that her breakthrough role in the 2008 hit film "Fashion" marked a turning point in her career. She spoke about the challenges she faced in the early days of her career, working in Bollywood without any connections or a godfather. "I had to do a lot of work to survive in Mumbai, but my nature is to give 100% to any task I take on," Priyanka said. She recalled the time her six movies flopped consecutively, prompting her to reassess her career and try something different. The actress emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for herself, rather than waiting for them to come her way. "I had to fight continuously to get out of the box, whether it's the kind of films we do or the kind of roles we get," she said. Priyanka also spoke about being selective with her roles, saying she was not as choosy in the early days of her career. However, she now prioritizes her time and family, and is grateful for the sacrifices she made to achieve her goals. As advice to the younger generation, Priyanka urged them to be kind to themselves and not let social media comments affect their sanity. "You need to believe in yourself, talk to yourself, and weigh the pros and cons of what you are going to do," she said. In her early years in the US, Priyanka attempted pop music before realizing she should focus on her core strengths. She encouraged young people to decide for themselves what kind of work they want to do and to prioritize their well-being. Priyanka's biggest achievement, she said, is building contentment at home with her family. "Biggest things that protect me are my family and my sanity," she concluded.
