At Abu Dhabi’s BRIDGE Summit, Priyanka Chopra Says She’s ‘On the Other Side’ of Her Sacrifices

She says early setbacks forced survival pivots that now allow her to be selective.

Overview

  • Chopra recalled a slump when six films flopped in a row, saying her career shifts were driven by survival rather than choice.
  • She said she once accepted every job because she lacked the privilege to refuse work, describing herself as non‑selective early on.
  • Reflecting on personal costs, she noted missing family milestones, including time with her father while he was hospitalized.
  • She described fighting typecasting and having to create opportunities, emphasizing the need to break out of restrictive boxes.
  • Recent visibility includes Prime Video’s Heads of State, reported at over 75 million views, with upcoming projects including SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, Citadel 2, and the films The Bluff and Judgment Day, which outlets say are slated for 2026.
