@bold... what's wrong with expanding your horizons and trying new things? just because you're ok with limiting yourself to one part of the world doesn't mean other people can't be limitless. Priyanka is exactly that.

Priyanka's getting lots of great offers all over the world! you won't see such adamant haters like you if she wasn't.

Hollywood is still a predominately white industry. you will hear these statements from all POC and it's important that they make these statements... not only for themselves but for everyone.

there is nothing wrong in that statement of hers

hippo's only point is that such statements often comes from people who are

75% towards the hill

on the hill

sliding down the hill

over the hill

You wont see stars who are 0 - 75% towards the hill making such statements

she could have been limitless when there was unlimited work in bolly available

now that she is limited in bolly..she discovered limitlessness

that was hippos point

everyone is entitled to do best for themselves in any lollies

however just dont become intellectual when u r over the hill lol
