Priyanka Chopra speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on Hollywood stereotypes. She said speaking at the Bridge Summit held in the UAE, "So when I started looking for or seeking work in America, I cannot tell you how many times I said no to being, you know, the Indian girl who is supposed to speak with the exaggerated accent, be just pretty and, you know, sort of ornamental, that girl," she said. What surprised her most was the volume of such roles. "I was so surprised by how many characters were written with that stereotype," she added.
She continued “I really had to fight that for a couple of years until I got Quantico, which is a TV show of mine, where I played an FBI agent,” Priyanka after her debut with Quantico, went on to star in Baywatch, Love Again, and Heads of State.
She is now starring in Varanasi which features Mahesh Babu under the direction of Rajamouli. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in important role.
