Priyanka Chopra has made headlines all over the world yet again thanks to the release of her memoir Unfinished. In the book, Priyanka takes us through her entire journey and the ups and downs that she battled to get where she is today.
The actress recently appeared on a podcast for promoting her book. During the conversation, Priyanka opened up about how she was asked to leave a film solely because she demanded equal pay as compared to her male co-star. The actress said, “They said to take the paycheque which was nominal compared... There’s so many other girls who will take this opportunity. And, you know, women in movies are interchangeable. I didn’t do anything about it. I had to work within the system because that’s what we’re told, that, 'You know, if you want this job … this is the only way'. It took almost 15 years for me to get to that place where, you know, I could stand my ground. It took hearing the conversations from other women banding together to give me the confidence to stand up for myself.”
In her book Unfinished, Priyanka has spoken about many such instances in the film industry where people tried to misuse their power for wrong. Have you got yourself a copy yet?
