Priyanka Chopra not getting pressurised. Priyanka Chopra is playing the female lead in Mahesh Babu's upcoming entertainer Varanasi which is progressing at a brisk pace under the direction of Rajamouli. Expectations are high on the project as it happens to be Rajamouli's first after the sensation of RRR and Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are coming together for the first time.
In the meantime, Priyanka Chopra shared how she navigated from unfamiliar environment. She said “I am who I am. You like it great. You don’t like it, I don’t care. That’s who I’ve always been. So whether I am coming to America or whether I go to India, I am always true to just who I am. If you try and change yourself, according to thinking that, ‘Oh, I am going to a different country’ or ‘I need to please’ or ‘I need to not be alien enough,’ you’re over-thinking it. People have to like you or relate to you for who you are. You can’t be someone else suddenly,”
She continued “See, what is the choice? That you walk a path like everyone else, dressed in suits, go to work and come back and never have a legacy? Or, you swim upstream like a trout against the norm? And then whatever little you achieve is only yours. It’s not like everyone else. I’d rather have something that is my path, paved by me, something that is my legacy, my own self, my own achievement, than being one of the many of the successful people in the world."
