Priyanka Chopra has sparked a significant controversy in Bollywood following a recent interview where she bravely shared an unsettling incident from her early days in the industry. The globally renowned icon revealed that during a stripping scene for a project, a director had made an inappropriate request to see her underwear.
Recounting the incident, Priyanka explained that she was portraying an undercover agent and wanted to maintain a layered approach for the scene. However, the director insisted on showcasing her underwear, claiming that the movie wouldn’t be worth watching otherwise. Feeling dehumanized, Priyanka took a stand and decided to walk off the set, even offering to reimburse the production for the two days of filming.
In another instance, Priyanka garnered attention after appearing on Alexandra Cooper’s podcast, where derogatory comments were made about her and her relationship with Nick Jonas. Although the episode has been removed, Alexandra had referred to Priyanka as a lesbian and criticized the couple for their public displays of affection. Despite these controversies, Priyanka remains dedicated to her work in the entertainment industry. Her recent film, the romantic comedy-drama “Love Again,” directed by James C. Strouse and co-starring Sam Heughan, received mixed reviews upon its release on May 5, 2023.
